ONX 2010 tasting flight by Wine Lab

We discovered ONX winery (click for their web site) at the March Family Winemakers trade tasting. We were very impressed with the wines and immediately wanted to share them with you. Tonight you have the chance to experience five of their reds and chat with winemaker Jeff Strekas and Jenny Freck. These are truly delicious wines and I encourage you to drop by anytime between 6 and 9 tonight. $19 / $14.25 Wine Lab Club 10% off wines to go tonight only.

The legendary Spanish appellation of Priorat dates back to the 12th century, when Carthusian monks founded the Priory of Scala Dei, literally “Stairway to Heaven,” on the site where, legend has it, a shepherd (or a monk) had a vision of a golden staircase rising to heaven. Today, it is the source of what some consider to be the most distinctive wine from Spain, famous for its big, full-bodied red wines and licorella, or “black slate” terroir.  Meet Xavier Buil of Buil & Gine, one of Priorat’s best growers, for an evening of tasting and discovery. $15 /$11.25 Wine Lab Club. Drop in between 6:00 and 9:00 PM.
