Tonight's Tapas Menu

Tonight from 5-7pm we will feature Portugese food and wine pairings. The menu sounds delicious! Here it is:

*Baguette with olive tapenade
*Imported cheese with figs
*Portugese bean salad

Paired with:

*Costa do Pombal - a blend of white grapes, this wine is from Pinhao, Portugal. It is dry, round, smooth and well balanced. Pairs well with salads, fish, pasta and risotto.
*Damasceno Rose is a blend of 55% Syrah and 45% Aragones grapes. On the palate it is young, fresh and very fruity. This wine hails from Poceirao, Portugal.
*Pontval Trincadeira/Touriga Nacional is from Alentejo, Portugal and is a blend of the unique portugese grapes Trincadeira and Touriga Nacional. It has a deep ruby color with flavors of mature fruits. Very smooth and easy to drink.

$10 per person.

Headliner quartet for 2009 is named Storm Front

It has been quite a journey for the 2010 International Quartet Finalists. The 2002 Rocky Mountain District champs have made seven trips to the International contest stage, including Top 10 placement each of the past six years.

For these four guys, the love of barbershop and great entertainment has blended to create show-stopping performances. They have been blessed to see so much success in such a short time. They are thankful to all the chapters and individuals who have supported them and are most especially thankful to their families and friends for the love and encouragement they provide.

They hope you can come to see them perform at the Unity High School with the Indianhead Chorus on October 10, 2009. Show times are 2 PM and 7 PM. For tickets, call Ken Mettler at 715-483-9202 or email him at kbmett@hotmail.com or get them at Trade River Winery!
