Hello to all those who Imbibe, With much gratitude we thank each of you for your continued support. It boggles our minds that as we approach this fifth year in business at Imbibe, it is also our 30th year in the wine business. One thing we’re certain of: It’s good to be home in beautiful Bakersfield. We appreciate that so many of you have taken the time to imbibe with us, and for those of you just discovering our business through this catalog, welcome! Along with our staff, Imbibe proudly boasts a combined 174 years experience in retail and hospitality service. What a team we have! Each year, our tasting team compiles, through many tasting sessions, a comprehensive list of currently available, value-driven, over-achieving wines that we think you’ll find interesting. What makes this list work for you is our experience. We taste literally thousands of wines each year and when we find something new and exciting, it really is. Further, before we commit to placing a wine on this list, we require a commitment from the producer that supply will be available to us through at least the first quarter of publication. This year’s list includes mainstream and unusual varietals, blends and bottlings, from both familiar and new regions. Uruguay? Yep, got that covered too. With so many choices, we needed to create an opportunity for you to make informed purchasing decisions. Our annual Top 100 Tasting for 2014 will be on Saturday, January 18th, 2014 beginning at 1:00 pm for VIP ticket holders. Food, wine and buying discounts will be offered to attendees, but tickets are limited, so mark your calendars and purchase your tickets soon. Here at Imbibe, we also love beer (and cigars, and bourbon, and well, you get the idea), so we’ve included a list of 25 of our favorite staples. These beers are always worthy of your consideration. Our beer selection varies with all the seasonal offerings from our favorite craft producers throughout the year. This year’s Top 24 Beer Tasting is on Saturday, January 25th, just in time for Super Bowl party planning, and we’ll be featuring a surprise brewery on hand to pour their current releases. Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy 2014,
David, Tamera and the Imbibe Crew
