Free Senor Sangria Tasting - Wednesday

FREE SENOR SANGRIA TASTING WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20th FROM 5 TO 8PM

The founder of Señor Sangria didn’t plan to start a sangria company. As he said, it found him. Señor Sangria was created by Rick Martinez from a personal sangria recipe originally developed for friends and family - who enjoyed it so much that they encouraged him to start a business. His dedication to quality is inspiring, and his concoction is, as well.

Red Señor Sangria is made from Chilean Merlot, natural fruit juices and pure cane sugar. The new White Señor Sangria starts with a base of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc blended with real pineapple, orange, lemon and lime juices. Both are all-natural, delectable sangrias that are as good as, or better than, homemade, according to their passionate creator.

There are few drinks better for a warm summer day than a glass of cold sangria. Señor Sangria is sweet, satisfying and has just enough kick to remind you that you’re drinking. Loaded up with natural fruit juices, the bottled beverage can pass for homemade with the addition of some cut-up fruit.

Free Kombrecha Tasting Friday

FREE KOMBREWCHA TASTING FRIDAY, AUGUST 22nd FROM 4 TO 7PM

Kombrewcha, a spirited and traditionally brewed kombucha, is fermented organic tea with a tease, tangy and not too sweet. With 2% alcohol, only 65 to 75 calories per bottle (less than in light-beer and hard-cider), and boatloads of live probiotics – it’s an invitation to rethink what we drink.

Kombrewcha is a new kind of brew that you can indulge in without compromise and with just enough alcohol to get you tickled, not pickled. Kombrewcha is brewed the traditional way, allowing tiny probiotics to do what they do best – make bubbles and a little alcohol. Kombrewcha is brewed entirely with agave nectar - so you get more sweetness with fewer calories and it's simply tastes great!
