April 22, 2009 (Alpine) – Here’s an appetizing event blossoming with opportunities: The Vine Wines Bar & Bistro has teamed up with Petunia & Pomegranate Nursery in Alpine to co-host Springtime with the Vintners. Savor an afternoon of wine, music, appetizers and art amid two picturesque venues this Saturday, April 25th, from 1 to 4 p.m.. Admission is $15.

 

Seven local winemakers will be on hand at the Vine Wines to meet with visitors and offer tastings of locally-produced wines. Next door at Petunia & Pomegranate nursery, guests can stroll through flowering gardens to enjoy an art show featuring local artists. A raffle and live music by singer/songwriter Paul Nichols are also part of the afternoon’s entertainment.

Both the bistro and nursery are new businesses in Alpine. The Vine Wines Bar & Bistro features a wide variety of foods and wines amid a setting reminiscent of a log cabin complete with river-rock fireplace, creek view and a tree growing straight through the ceiling. The nursery, as its name implies, specializes in colorful petunias and pomegranate fruit trees, as well as an extensive array of other plants and a gift shop featuring garden items.

Local vintners slated to participate include Witch Creek Winery (www.witchcreekwinery.com), Woof n Rose Winery (www.woofnrose.com), Menghini Winery (www.menghiniwinery.com), Rock Canyon Winery (www.rockcanyonvineyards.com ) , La Serenissima Winery (www.laserenissimavineyard.com), Gloriosa Vineyards (ww.gloriosavinyards.com), and Duebe Winery in Jamul.
