It’s going to be a super fun day of gustatory greatness and everything we’re pouring will be 20% Off!
We’ll have lots of choices to taste out of the glass from Bubbly to Sake, Wine – of course – and Port that you can serve on Easter Day! And for those still exercising DryJanuary our barNA will be open with many ZeroProof Wines and BuzzFree Craft Brew options!
What else, you ask? Read on!
Cost? $0.00… Yup, you taste for FREE! We just ask that you tip our musicians:-)
We’re Cool Like That.
“Annette The Chocolate Lady” is a staple here at FranksWine on many weekends around the holidays and at most of our INshop Charity Gigs! We are teaming up with her company East Coast Sweets once again for a walk-around tasting of Easter deliciousness! You’ll want to keep her home-made confections far far away from the kid’s baskets and keep these beautiful chocolates all to yourself!
Annette will have various size boxes on hand to purchase on the spot!
You all know Andy Horgan from the shop because he’s been recommending wine to you for the last 6 years! You also may know him as our in-house artisan baker of the most mouth-watering Naan, buttery Biscuits, crusty Italian loaves, pillow-soft Rolls and savory Prosciutto Bread that he makes available for pick-up everyday here at FranksWine thru his company affectionately known as “breadLov!”
Perfect day to taste Andy’s baked deliciousness and place your order with him to pick-up here at FranksWine the week of Easter (March 25 – 30th).
Oh, did we mention Live Local Music?! Yes… we’ll have that going on, too!! Ted & Stu will be here doing their acoustic version of Lyric Drive! They were the first band that played our Alfresco Patio Tasting during the pandemic – going back to April 20, 2020! And they did so in style, and on our rooftop!
