How Many Bottles of Beer Does it Take to Host An Event

600. But one should order wine too. Just picked up a 600 bottles from the Brooklyn Brewery. Also ordered in a bunch of wine. That’s all for the Digital Dumbo job fair starting in a little over an hour from now.

I know wine is made from grapes. And there’s red wine and white wine. That’s the extent of my scholarly knowledge, but apparently there’s more to wine selection than that. Here’s a sampling of what will be available (courtesy our resident wine expert Geoff Grauer).

• Vientos del Sur Viognier – an aromatic white made in Argentina.  Stone fruit and floral characters with good weight on the palate.
• Saint Francis Red 06 – 100% Sonoma County fruit, lush with succulent ripe red fruit flavors and spicy aromas. Full-bodied and versatile.
• Colle Moro Ceresuolo 09 – A rose wine made in Abruzzo from Montepulciano grapes.  Dry, delicate red fruit.
• Faillenc St. Marie Rose Glacieres 09 – Sweet rose made from Syrah in Corbieres in the south of France
• Pepiere Muscadet 09 - A perennial favorite, the 09 version is just great: briny with a refreshing lemon-lime zing.
• Monterrey Pinot Noir - While it has that tell-tale Pinot Noir finesse, it also shows the depth of fruit and power that somehow only Cali Pinot can muster and a deft use of wood frames the full fruit and gives a nice kick of spice.

It’s a hot day. So head on down if you are feeling thirsty.
