What’s the difference between small bubbles to large ones in a glass of wine? The answer was shared during the AJ’s Restaurant’s wine tasting event Friday night.
AJ’s introduced at least seven new wines sponsored by the Marianas Pacific Distributors, Inc.
AJ’s marketing manager Rhea Niishida commended liquor and tobacco sales manager Sheila Peebles for a wonderful presentation of the wines. She said the presentation was so informative that Peebles shared with guests the difference between sparkling and white wine and why there are small bubbles in the wine and its difference from the large bubbles.
“It was very interesting as well as entertaining,” she said. The seven wines introduced that night were Mumm Napa Cuvee, Mumm Blanc de Noir, Mumm Prestige Brut, Wente Pinot Noir, Wente Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Wente Pinot Noir Reserve, and WB Est. Chardonnay Reserve.
The exclusive wine tasting event at the restaurant was well attended by the likes of Pat Tenorio-Palacios, Frances Borja, Nick Sablan, Mr. and Mrs. Rex Palacios, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Manglona, Abed Younis, and Christy Alegre, among others.
Niishida said she was quite satisfied with the turnout of the event. “Guests also started to buy and try our new wine.” Niishida said the wines they introduced that night would not be available off the shelf on public supermarkets. These wines, she said, could only be purchased in restaurants like AJ’s.
Friday night’s runaway seller was the Pinot Noir, said Niishida.
The restaurant marketing manager said the wine tasting event was a first for the piano bar and restaurant. She said they would be holding a bigger wine tasting event in February due to the success of the event.
AJ’s has lined up several dining event this month. Niishida said the restaurant would hold a Rose Bowl day for college football lovers. The restaurant will open from 9am on Jan. 5 for the Rose Bowl championship game.
The restaurant will once again tune in to the Super Bowl in the last week of January.
