Three-day French wine festival coming to Kroger’s Kettering store
The Kroger Fresh Fare store at East Stroop Road and Shroyer Road in Kettering is celebrating the first anniversary of its reopening after extensive renovation with a three-day French wine festival, according to Dean Breeding, who oversees the store’s wine department.
“I thought I’d put together something a little different,” Breeding said. He collaborated with a local distributor to bring in “12 really nice French selections that have proven to be very popular in some of the smaller shops and restaurants around the area. It’s an opportunity for my customers to sample some wines that they may not be quite as familiar with in our laid-back setting and at our very reasonable tasting fees.”
At 6 p.m. Friday, July 16, the store will host a “Tour de Fresh Fare” French food and wine event, featuring these four French wines to be paired with French foods and desserts: Robert Kacher Selections Domaine De Pouy, a white blend of Ugni Blanc and Colombard from the southwest of France; Robert Kacher Selections Merlot Gournier, a 100 percent merlot from the Costieres de Nimes region; Domaine de Nizas Red, a blend of Syrah, Mourvedre and Grenache from the Languedoc; and Kermit Lynch Cuvee Cotes du Rhone. The cost for the Friday event is $25, and tickets are available in the store’s wine department and at its customer service counter. For details, call 299-7500.
Then from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, July 17, the regular drop-in tasting will include wines from the Rhone, Languedoc, Burgundy and Bordeaux, all for $5 total. The following day, Sunday July 18, brings a $2 tasting of another four French wines, from Burgundy, Bordeaux, Costieres de Nimes and Languedoc.

They will have to have shuttle buses for more than the 30 people who can park and shop inside that store. It’s overwhelming to begin with, but having to park at Town and Country makes me NOT want to ever go back!

I guess Murlow has never be in the Kay-Rogers on Stroop. It is one of the best ones I have been to, with their gourmet soups, wine tastings every weekend, gourmet meat samples and of course the dessert area. Try checking it out before commenting

Doc & “Murlow” are made for one another…but Doc sounds a little miffed due to “Murlows” higher standards….

If it’s beneath your standards, “Murlow”, then just don’t go. More wine for others…

I can see having this event at DLM on Far Hills, or further south at the other location…but at a “Kay-Roger” on East Stroop Road and Shroyer? How quaint.
