"Return of the Birthdays"
Complimentary Tableside Wine Tasting
at Craft'd
Friday, March 5th 5:30-8:30pm (FREE)
Kris and Maryann are celebrating their birthdays this week and have selected some of their favorite wines to share!
We’ve got an excellent, well-rounded selection of reds lined up:
-
2018 Juggernaut Russian River Pinot Noir – $23.99. This is the girls’ favorite PN. This wine shows that patience and experience matter. Aging this wine for an average of 12 months in a combination of new and used French oak barrels imparts hints of vanilla, waffle cone and toasty oak. Persistent flavors of red cherries, berries, and spicy, floral notes. A moderate grip of acidity and low tannins allow this expressive wine to complement a wide range of foods. The proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the balancing influences of sun and fog and soil composition ideally matched to cool climate grapes make the Russian River Valley an ideal sanctuary for Pinot Noir.
-
2017 Frank Family Zinfandel – $43.99. Selected by Kris. This might be her all-time favorite red. This wine is made from both estate and purchased grapes, including older plantings in the (Napa) valley. This rich, black-fruit-driven wine presents integrated ripeness, texture and complexity. Brambly blackberry and black cherry are accentuated by smatterings of crushed pepper and cinnamon on the full-bodied palate. Viscous and jammy with peppery, herbal components, it offers firm structure and bold ripeness. The oak is toasted and well-integrated. The perfect amount of acid and tannin balance out the concentrated palate, leading to an expansive finish. Rating: 90, Wine Enthusiast
-
2018 Emmolo Napa Valley Merlot – Regularly $58.00, Now $48.00. Selected by Maryann, who is trying to bring Merlot BACK!
Grapes for this wine were sourced from Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll district, which includes two family vineyards. The area’s cooler weather, along with crop thinning and gravelly light soil, creates ideal conditions for producing a rich, distinctive Merlot. This wine is lush and supple on the palate; generous, soft, and rounded with expansive dark berry flavors, a fresh earthiness, and smooth, leathery tannins. Aromas and flavors of ripe berries and candied fruit with wild game birds. Rating: 90, Wine Enthusiast
Tastings are tableside, c’mon in when you’re ready. Please sit at a table that matches your party size so that we can accommodate everyone. Masks are required upon entry to the store, until you are seated, and if you need to get up. As always, feel free to bring snacks/dinner with you, but please dispose of your own trash (there is a garbage can at the back entrance of the store). Thanks y’all, see you Friday!!

Deadline for the Poetry Contest is Saturday, March 6th
The Morganton Cultural Arts Commission in conjunction with Adventure Bound Books and Redhawk Publications are excited to announce the 2nd annual Celebrating Poetry Contest. We are asking people of all ages to send in a new composition of their poetry in preparation for National Poetry Month, a celebration of poetry which takes place each April. Winning poems will be displayed throughout the community in April 2021 in surprising places and forms. We want to offer an opportunity for people to be exposed to poetry and the literary arts in a variety of ways that intersect with their everyday life.
Writers of all ages are invited to submit poetry for the Poetry Writing Contest with the theme of Community. The Poetry Contest seeks to celebrate the undeniable magic of words and the beauty of poetry. There will be two divisions this year: Adults age 18 and up with top 3 cash prizes of $500/$250/$125. Youth Division 17 and under with top 3 cash prizes of $75/$50/$25. The entry fee is $6 and poets of all ages are invited to submit their work.
Additionally, the top winner this year in the adult division will have the opportunity to publish their poetry in a chapbook courtesy of Redhawk Publications. Adventure Bound Books will carry the poet’s chapbook beyond the complimentary copies provided to the winner (A Chapbook is a small publication of up to 40 pages, often classified as one of the first "little magazines" of the 1890s). In addition, all winning poetry from 2020, 2021, and 2022 will be published in a collected anthology by Adventure Bound Books and Redhawk Publications.
