Hey y’all and here we go as we get set for our next Live Twitter Tasting, featuring our favorite California winery, Hahn Family Wines, and as we continue to shape and reshape this new event for us, we want to accomplish a few things:

1. 1. We want to open up a new arena for tasting wines with our customers, expanding into the ever-changing arena of social media.
2. 2. We want to spend time on a particular winery that wasn’t getting all the love it deserves in the eyes of the mainstream annals of the wine press.
3. 3. We want to link up customers with the winery in a way that was quick, easy and economically feasible for all.
4. We want to become more interactive with our customers, in such a way as we cannot always do in a conventional setting.

This next event is set for Wednesday, November 17^th, from 7-8 pm, both at our Fort Thomas location in Northern Kentucky, and live on the Web, at https://twittertasting.depsfinewine.com. In the store, we will be tasting 4 wines – the Cycles Gladiator Chardonnay 2008, Cycles Falcon Zinfandel 2007, Hahn Estate Pinot Noir 2008 and Hahn Estate Meritage 2007. During this time, we plan on having members of the Hahn Family team on hand via Twitter, as well as our local Hahn distributors on hand in the store (from Republic-National Distributing) to answer questions live. We also hope to host several of our local wine bloggers in house and via Twitter and Facebook to join us in the Q&A.

Our customers are invited to either join us at the store, or from the confines of their homes, where they can purchase one or more of the wines, or any other Hahn wines, and they too can participate in this expanded, multifaceted tasting and presentation of St. Supéry wines.

We also will be offering the Hahn kit, designed to expand the home experience by combining the four wines to be discussed this evening in a discounted fashion, along with ideas to throw a little tasting party of their own including a few recipes, some Hahn factoids and even some extra info available only through the kit.

It’s a brave new world we are entering into, and anything goes, but here are a couple of things to help get you started.

From HQ, we will be tasting these wines in order:

1. Cycles Gladiator Chardonnay 2008
2. Cycles Falcon Zinfandel 2007
3. Hahn Pinot Noir 2008
4. Hahn Meritage 2007.

You will need to include #depswine in your Twitter posts.

The invitations via Facebook will be going out this weekend, and we also will be doing an email blast to all of our customers over the course of the next few days. We plan on a full media blitzkrieg to drive a lot of traffic to our Web page, and we hope to create a real event atmosphere at our store.
