The latest news is that the United States is close to surpassing France in wine consumption. With that in mind we are proud to announce our first ever wine sale. From February 12th through the 24th Black Diamond Liquor will have over 100 wines on sale from around the world. Whether it’s a Pinot Gris from Oregon or Shiraz from Australia, a wonderful variety of wines will be available at greatly reduced prices. In conjunction with this sale Black Diamond Liquor will be holding it’s first wine tasting benefit to help those in our community. Proceeds from this event will help support essential programs at the Mt. Calvary Family Resource Center. Mt. Calvary Resource Center is a food shelf and education resource center that serves people in need living in the south metro suburbs. It is located at 3910 Rahn Rd. in Eagan. You are cordially invited to our wine tasting event. It will take place on Saturday, February 17th from 4-8 pm at Black Diamond Liquor located at 525 Diffley Rd Suite 2050 in Eagan. Black Diamond will be sampling 30 – 40 wines from around the world. The tasting is free and open to the public. High quality Riedel wine glasses will be available for purchase for only $ 10.00 per glass. You may use the glass during the tasting and take it home to keep. You do not have to purchase a glass to participate. Small tasting cups will be provided. In addition we will be having a silent auction. Additional donations of cash and non-perishable food items are welcome. All proceeds from this event will go to Mt. Calvary Family Resource Center. Please invite your friends and joins us for this fun event! We would also thank everyone for your support by signing the petition in favor of a coffee shop. Eagan city council has changed the ban on our mall. We are now allowed to have a coffee/deli shop. Plans are underway and Old Lodge Coffee hopes to open this spring! Thanks to all of you. We hope to see all of you again soon! Keep watching your mail, (both e-mail and US), for the Money Mailer, Eagan THIS WEEK Newspaper as well as ads in the Pioneer Press to learn about additional wine tasting events and money saving offers.
