Drink Champagne while you shop!
Shopping Break Champagne and Sparking Tasting
Sat, the 14th of December 3-6pm
From Cru champagnes, Spanish Cava (method Champenoise) to the new rage, Orange - or Amber wine (extended skin contact white) - to a fabulous Lambrusco that will open your eyes we would love to see you and offer our selections for your perusal.

No charge, no reservation, just wine and 'joie de vivre' at Salem Wine Imports this coming Saturday afternoon.

As are most all of our selections at SWI we choose our sparkling wine from small individual farmers, winemakers and families who don’t need corporate guidance or advice. For generations these “owner growers” have perfected their family style. They don’t need nor want corporate guidance of suggestions, it is their land, their family reputation that drives them and we think the results are stellar.

We extend our gratitude to all those attending our holiday tasting at Salem Wine. Great day yesterday with our pre holiday sampling of wines from around the world. If you missed this one, stay tuned as a holiday sampling of sparkling wine forthcoming while Beaujolais Nouveau, which we initially thought would be delayed until post thanksgiving, will be here BEFORE THANKSGIVING. A REASON TO GIVE THANKS ALL BY ITSELF.

Hey all - we are having some regular fun convening, critiquing and communing at Salem Wine Imports Book Club which meets the first Monday of each month. We meet at 6:30pm ($10pp includes wine and snacks). PM or call the shop if interested.

Next up is 'The Widow Clicquot: The Story of a Champagne Empire and the Woman Who Ruled It' by Tilar J Mazzeo, a NYT bestselling biography. I read it years ago, liked it a lot and looking forward to reading again.

"Narrative history that fizzes with life and feeling.” — Benjamin Wallace, New York Times bestselling author of The Billionaire's Vinegar

The New York Times bestselling biography of the visionary young woman who built a champagne empire, became a legend, and showed the world how to live with style

V***e Clicquot champagne epitomizes glamour, style, and luxury. In The Widow Clicquot, Tilar J. Mazzeo brings to life—for the first time—the fascinating woman behind the iconic yellow label: Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, who, after her husband's death, defied convention by assuming the reins of the fledgling wine business they had nurtured together. Steering the company through dizzying political and financial reversals, she became one of the world's first great businesswomen and one of the richest women of her time.

As much a fascinating journey through the process of making this temperamental wine as a biography of a uniquely tempered woman, The Widow Clicquot is the captivating true story of a legend and a visionary.

Announcing Monday Salem Wine ImportsBook Club/Wine Pairing!
SWI Book Club will meet the 2nd Monday of each month to discuss a wine or local themed book (fiction or non-fiction) complemented with a suitable wine tasting.

Our first SWI Book Cub is Monday, September 9th, and the book up for discussion is 'Cork Dork' available for purchase in the shop for $10 (also available through Amazon and on Kindle). See description below.

We'll meet 6:30pm at the shop, enjoying curated wine selected to pair with the 'book of the month', and delectable goodies. Fee will be $10 per person.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND A NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS' PICK
“Thrilling . . . [told] with gonzo élan . . . When the sommelier and blogger Madeline Puckette writes that this book is the Kitchen Confidential of the wine world, she’s not wrong, though Bill Buford’s Heat is probably a shade closer.” —Jennifer Senior, The New York Times

Professional journalist and amateur drinker Bianca Bosker didn’t know much about wine—until she discovered an alternate universe where taste reigns supreme, a world of elite sommeliers who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of flavor. Astounded by their fervor and seemingly superhuman sensory powers, she set out to uncover what drove their obsession, and whether she, too, could become a “cork dork.”

With boundless curiosity, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism, Bosker takes the reader inside underground tasting groups, exclusive New York City restaurants, California mass-market wine factories, and even a neuroscientist’s fMRI machine as she attempts to answer the most nagging question of all: what’s the big deal about wine? What she learns will change the way you drink wine—and, perhaps, the way you live—forever.

“As informative as it is, well, intoxicating.” —Fortune
