Wine Tasting 1-4pm Saturday, Jan 5

Your host is Greg Wood of Harry's.
After graduating from Bryant College, Greg launched his professional career in finance and marketing, including working for the Dutch Steel Company, Hoogovens Steel, as a business development specialist. After working in the corporate world for 10 years, he sought a more passioniate career and spent the next decade as a National Ski Patroller and ski equipment retailer. While Greg was patroling the slopes, his ardor for wine began to flourish. To slake his growing thirst for knowledge, he sought out masses of wine literature and set foot into the great wine regions of the world, traveling most recently to France's Rhone Valley. "It is everything about wine that fascinates me - the history, travel, tasting, and food pairing," says Greg. With his deep knowledge and passionate personality, Greg began working at Harry's in May 2010 and continues to find much joy in selecting the perfect bottle for the customers' needs.

Since his original bio was put up nearly three years ago, Greg has continued to grow and has become the floor leader in the wine department. As is often the case at Harry's the next guy steps in to the leadership role and that is just what Greg has done. Using all of the things he has learned by being part of the team these past 3 years he is now manning the reigns and assiting William with the training and day to day operations of our award winning wine floor. Come by and taste his selections for the day and put him to the test helping you to find the perfect wine!

-Cheers

Pillot Bourgogne Blanc 2009 $25.99
From a parcel on the southeastern end of Chassagne Montrachet, this wine now passes its elevage in stainless steel tank to preserve its freshness. It shares the broad shoulders and dense texture of the wines of Chassagne. Bottled twelve months after the harvest, this wine establishes the base-line for the generous, open style adopted by Jean-Marc Pillot for all of his wines. Winery Notes

Frescobaldi Remole Toscana 2010 $8.99
A rich, luminous ruby of appealing depth announces an equally complex nose, Remole 2010 reveals multi-faceted aromas of red and dark fruit and lifted by spicier impressions of black pepper and liquorice. The entry is velvety and warm, and the components on the palate are well balanced, with a tasty vein of acidity. Aromatic fruit returns to grace a lengthy finish. Winery Notes
