On behalf of everyone at The Grape, Happy Dads and Grads Week!

While you're hanging out with us, and our tastings this week, dont forget about those dads and/or graduates in your life. We've got the good to fill that "WORLDS BEST DAD" mug...

But also, what dad doesnt like bbq? Thats right, this Thursday, to coincide with the first Celadon Concert of the year, we've got our friends at Sweet Racks and Smoking Butts BBQ parking the truck outside, ready to serve up that meat candy Dad's earned.
Oh, also Arvon...

Saturday sees us step back into the motherland exploring the oft overlooked grapes of the region.

Should be a fun week! Can't wait to see yah.

June is so jam-packed with activities, I'm gonna struggle to keep them all in one post.

But imma do my best 👍

Our first annual Furniture City Beer Month continues exploring the beers and breweries that makes this town great! Joining us this week is Jackson from Harmony, but also, his special guest...pizza!
Thats right, from 530 til 8, stop by the store as we bust out an all time classic pairing; beer and pie. If you've not had the opportunity to check out HBC, and what has to be one of the best pizzas in town, come see what all the hype is about.

But then, the fun continues into the weekend, as we grab our machete and whip, and trudge deeper into the jungle that is underrepresented wines and regions.
Our series, OFF THE BEATEN PATH, dives headlong into the thicket of wine grapes and/or regions that you dont always see. While there are hundreds of under-explored regions and grapes Ive included a few examples as a teaser.
Will we try some of these this weekend?
Maybe, maybe not. Guess you're just gonna have to come see for yourself.
Cuz like the jungle, you never know whats around the corner...

AND LASTLY, BUT NOT LEASTLY.
Barrell Craft Spirits (yes, with two L's) is going to be in the neighborhood, and sampling out some of their Award winning spirits.
They have a fascinating story that you dont want to miss...oh, and the juice is good too.

Phew! Thats a lot, but if you think we're busy this week, be sure to stay tuned for next week 😉

Before we get to your weekly calendar of events....

We just want to take a minute to wish a Happy Pride Month to all who celebrate. There are always plenty of seats available at our table, and all are welcome to join.
Wine (and beer and spirits) is about sharing, and community, its about commiserating and celebrating. So pull up a chair, open a bottle, and share a story, because we're all in this together, and we're all here for each other. 🌈✌️🫶

As for the rest of the week, we're kicking off Furniture City Beer Month this Thursday with Matt and some of his favorite breweries of this City we all call home.

Saturday's wine tasting starts a new series we're calling "Off the Beaten Path"; where we're covering lesser known wines, and/or wine regions from around the world. Its always fun to explore these underrepresented, and niche wine communities, and we'll hope you join us to see why.
