Opportunity comes a-knockin’ on wine lovers’ doors
Dee-LISH-us opportunities abound this weekend for you to sample some intriguing and delightful wines, including two that were at the center of a little Uncorked brouhaha a week ago. At the very least, Dorothy Lane Market Oakwood’s offering of the Kendall-Jackson Vintners Reserve and Grand Reserve chardonnays gives you the chance to see why KJ is the top-selling chardonnay in the country. By the way, Kendall-Jackson made some headlines of a different sort yesterday, both for its aggressive pricing policies and its boffo sales and marketing efforts.
So, like, come taste what all the hubbub is all about. But don’t stop there. Take note of the two events featuring Napa Valley winery owner/winemaker Dick Steltzner at Arrow’s south store and at Jay’s, and do my eyes deceive, or is DLM Washington Square popping the cork on a bottle of Australia’s flagship wine, the Penfolds Grange? Yowzah …
AND on top of it all, don’t forget about Restaurant Week kicking off on Sunday. This time around, we’re going to give you and other DDN readers the chance to share your Restaurant Week experiences right here on Uncorked.
Like I said — opportunities abound. Seize the day!

The Grange and the rest of the Aussie wines are very appropriate since today (Jan 27) is Australia Day down under. It’s their version of July 4th.
