Simple goodness. Good bread is comfort. A platform. Essential, or... it's just Good Bread. As any rate, it's ready!

This didn't happen by accident: Our set of Champagnes was tasted and chosen to say 'YES!' to a broad spectrum of YOU. Sunday is typically my day off, but this New Year's Eve I'll hang out near the bubblies if you'd like some guidance. We appreciate your appreciation!
(Thank you Grace!)

A little change in hours this week. We will close at 7pm on Wednesday for last minute wine and spirits shopping and “We are tired of cleaning and cooking” let us get out of the house for a glass of wine.

We will close on Thursday and for a well-deserved late morning for the staff, we will open a little later on Friday.

Join us for an afternoon with old friend Tom Switzer. Tom and Jim picked the wine bar menu this week and both will be at wine bar Saturday 3-6 to indulge us with their vast knowledge of the wine and best food pairing. Come and ask questions, and try to stump them with your Thanksgiving wine pairing.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

From all of us at The Wine Steward.

Jim, Cathy, Eric, Grace, Leslie, Sharon, Malisa, Owen, Alex, Mark, Todd and Leahnna.
