SPECIAL TASTING: GRAHAM BECK (SOUTH AFRICA)
Graham Beck passed away a month ago, but he leaves behind him a thriving family-owned operation: 2 estates, 3 winemakers & numerous employees, all working together to create a lineup of classic South African wines. 
Joining us on Friday is Graham Beck's viniculturist, Marco Ventrella, who's in charge of the grape growing activities on 4 farms. We hear he's a lot of fun, but that aside, he's got a wealth of knowledge on what makes these South African wines so special.  Join us (for the first backroom tasting of the season) to taste this classic South African spread:
Graham Beck NV Sparkling Brut Rosé
$22.99 | Mixed Case $18.39
Graham Beck 2008 Gamekeeper Chenin Blanc $16.99 | Mixed Case $13.59
