Congratulations to Jack Roseman for choosing the winning name for this most winning of events.  We gathered on the First Thursday of the June to hold the first ever “First Class Flights”.  The premise is this: for $10, you receive a “flight” of fine wine that you would not ordinarily get to sample without buying the entire bottle.  I’m not sure of the origin of the term “flight”, but in the wine world it is used to refer to small pours of wines grouped by region, flavor, or theme.  We kicked off our inaugural flight with a trip to Italy, via the Austin Wine Merchant.  We first tasted the Inama Soave Classico ‘06, a rich and velvety white wine from Veneto, then moved on to the Allegrini La Grola, from Valpolicella, and finished with the Damilano Lecinquevigne Barolo, from the Piedmont.  It was agreed by all that the “First Class Flight” was a lot of fun, very educational, a great value.  Join us on the first Thursday of each month, just send an RSVP to lisa@cliffordsoriginalwinebar.comCheers!
