Greetings!

   We are already in the second month of 2013 and we have lots of fresh wine adventures in and outside of the shop to tell you about. 
    One of the things we love about our Edmond's business community and is that there is lots of opportunities to team-up with other shops for fabulous fun. This month we will be partnering with several different businesses with delicious events in downtown Edmonds. This Friday our friends from Frosted Cupcakes and Nama's Candy are in the shop for our 5th Annual Wine, Cupcakes, & Chocolates Tasting.  This Friday we also kick-off our Seven-Days-Of-Love giveaway with C'est la Vie next door. Later in the month, we join with 
The Cheesemonger's Table for our first Cheese & Wine Pairing Class of 2013. On February 20th this class will be in a new venue: we are taking our glasses and gathering at the new Cheesemonger's Table location in Milltown. See details below.
   We also have our usual Saturday tastings with a great line up for this month and in March.
   Oh! Did we mention that Valentine's Day is right around the corner and we are all stocked up with Champagne, Prosecco, and other goodies to share with friends or your special someone.  
   So come enjoy the love, love, love of wine with us this month here in the shop.
   Cheers!
from Ruth, David and the gang at Arista Wine Cellars
