Life Is a Cabernet!

No, that’s not a misspelling – on Saturday, March 18 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. the Montrose Shopping Park will show you how life can be a cabernet, or a merlot, or a sauvignon blanc! We will be hosting an evening of wine tastings and hors d’oeuvres munching at our first annual Spring Wine Walk.

Twenty-five Shopping Park businesses will be pouring 1-oz. tastings of their wine selections for you. Go to our website at www.shopmontrose.com to purchase your $45 ticket online by credit card or to view a list of available in-store ticket sales.  A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales is being donated to our co-sponsor, the La Crescenta Woman’s Club.

Every “wine walker” receives 15 wine tasting tickets, a Wine Walk map and a Montrose logo wine glass! Ever wish you had a souvenir of your beloved Montrose? Here’s your opportunity!

Now meet two more of your Wine Walk host businesses and what you can expect to see while you are sipping and noshing away.

This week’s Sunday Market guitarist Eric Kufs, a first time performer at our Market with “rock star” credentials. He’s amazing! And while listening to Eric, spend some time selecting fresh baby loose- leaf and bunch spinach, Napa red or green cabbage, or check out the new crop of red or Yukon gold potatoes. It’s all at our Market this week!
