Happy Tuesday!

We are closing in on the end of the month, and we hope you will stop by and help us close out the month with a bang! Well....at least the pop of a cork or two. :-)

We have some great experiences on the calendar for you. So, visit our Events page to see all the details and reserve seats for your favorite experiences. 


  • Thursday - Georgia Barge is back. She is amazing, and we truly hope you will take the time to come and join us. PLUS it's Half-Price bottle night on 10 different select wines. Reserve your seats today!
  • Friday - Clarence Johnson III brings some of his NOLA Jazz and fun to Steve's. Join us for a truly amazing night of music, friends, and wine. There are still some seats available for you to reserve.
  • Saturday - The Irish Pub Experience is back at 3 pm. Then that evening, starting at 7:30, Guitarist Bruce Bond is back on stage.
  • Sunday - Birthday Sunday - if you have a birthday in June, come on down at 5 PM and join in some snacks, sweets, and a glass of wine on the house for your birthday. Reserve online so we know how much food to have on hand.
  • Tuesday, July 1st - Paul Metzger will be back with some jazz guitar at 4 pm.
  • On Wednesday, July 2nd, we have the Opolo wine tasting and blending party. If you are in town, we hope you will come join us. We will have a separate email out tomorrow with more details. If you are not in town, we have you covered. You can order online the 3-pack of wine and take that with you. Then you can join us via Zoom on the 2nd and party with us!
  • We are open on Friday, July 4th. 
  • Saturday, July 5th, The Cats are Back for a fun weekend concert!

A couple of events we are adding to our schedule in July, which you may want to mark your calendar for:

  • July 14 is Bastille Day, and we are putting together a fun French-style dinner for that Monday evening. Costs will be in the $70 range for 7 courses of classic French food, plus wines from France. Details are being finalized, and reservations will be online soon.
  • The Di Abruzzo Dinner is still scheduled for July 7th.

Make sure you check out our Events page to learn about our schedule of events.

Visit our Events page to see all our upcoming events.


Cheryl will be joining us on a regular basis to share fun facts, cool stories, and interesting information about wine in our emails.

This month, we are featuring aroma kits to go along with our featured wines. As you know, I often like to inject a bit of education into the club tasting experience (although there are months where we simply enjoy the wines without thinking too hard about them!). In picking aromas, I chose professional-grade scents, mostly food flavorings, that should hold up throughout the month, one per wine. The biggest question is not to guess what you are smelling, although that does become a quandary, but if you agree with the winemaker that the scent is indeed in the wine.

Have a great week!

From all of us here at Steve's Wine Bar, Cheers!

Happy Tuesday!

We are halfway through June and heading straight into summer!

We have a fun week ahead, and a couple of dates you should put on your calendar.


We had a fun night last night with the Monday Movie Night. The popcorn machine was working, and we showed the first two episodes of the Apple TV program, Drops of God. We will continue that next Monday with episodes 3 and 4.

Thursday night, we have live music with an amazing young performer, Margaret Nicholson. She will be doing a solo piano show. This last month, when we first had her on stage, the place was packed, and she wowed the crowd. We still have a few open reserve seats that you can grab, or simply walk in and join us on Thursday.

We will be back at Discover Denton on Thursday from 6 - 8, sampling a few wines for the last Twilight Tunes of the season. Please stop by and say hello if you are in the area.

Friday night, we have another young lady, Julie Coggiola, who has performed here in the past, but as a member of other groups. She will lead her own show entitled "The Men I've Loved". 

Saturday at 3 pm, Off The Rails is back with another round of Blue Grass and other fun tunes. No reservations or cover charge required.

Saturday evening, The Cats are Back at 7:30. We still have several reserved seats available, and we do have room for walk-ins with seating at the bar and high tops around the bar.

Sunday is our monthly Wine Club Group Tasting event starting at 3 PM. You don't have to be a club member to enjoy this experience. Pack up some snacks and join us! Reserve your table for two online.

A couple of events we are adding to our schedule in July, which you may want to mark your calendar for:

  • On July 2nd, 6 - 8 pm, we are doing an interactive wine tasting and blending event with Opolo. Jeff Faber will "Zoom in" from California and guide us through the tasting and blending experience. More details will be posted for this event on our website in the next day or two. So clear your calendar and come join us!
  • July 14 is Bastille Day, and we are putting together a fun French-style dinner for that Monday evening. Costs will be in the $70 range for 7 courses of classic French food, plus wines from France. Details are being finalized, and reservations will be online soon.
  • The Di Abruzzo Dinner is still scheduled for July 7th.

Make sure you check out our Events page to learn about our schedule of events.

Did you know that one of our stellar staff members is leaving us? Dean is moving on to another career, and his last night with us is this Friday, June 20th. Stop by and have a glass of wine or two and wish him well on his next stage of life. He is scheduled to serve until 9 pm, so if you want to be served by Dean, come early. If you want to come and drink with Dean, show up after 9. ;-) We will miss Dean and his amazing knowledge of wine, his style of sharing his experiences with our guests, and his desire to make you, our guests, feel special.


Have a great week!

From all of us here at Steve's Wine Bar, Cheers!

Our Denton Community is Amazing!!!

We have an Italian Dinner planned for Monday, June 9th, with our friends from Di Abruzzo. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to move the dinner to July 7th. What is amazing is that we reached out to a couple of folks here in Denton, and within an hour, we had Suzanne Johnson stepping in to help craft a menu for those who reserved space for the 9th. 

With this change, we do have a few seats that have opened up for our Monday dinner. If you would like to join us, visit our website at www.steveswinebar.com to see the menu and reserve your seats.

For those who would like to reserve for the new date with Di Abruzzo, you can find that online at Dinner with Di Abruzzo.

Tonight we have a special performance with Cassandra Berry. She will be performing a piano bar experience along with showing her movie, The Take Away. Reservation fees and cover will help her and Susan participate in the coming festivals, which are showing her movie. If you can't attend, feel free to contribute through the online reservation and make a note that this is for a contribution only, or leave a Band Tip.

Tomorrow afternoon, Off the Rails is back with Bluegrass and more at 3 pm.

Saturday night, Hannah Claire Goodwin performs. For those who have attended our last couple of performances with our young singers, Georgia Barge and Margaret Nicholson, this will be another wonderful night of music.

Visit our Events page to see all our upcoming events.


Have a great weekend!

Happy Wednesday!

We hope you had a great Memorial Day Weekend! It was fun on our end, even though it was a bit wet.

We have so much happening at Steve's over the next couple of weeks. We hope you will plan to spend some time with us at one or more of these events.

  • Tonight we have live music with vocalist and pianist Margaret Nicholson. Even though the reserved seats are sold, we have room for those walk-ins.
  • Thursday is jammed full of specials, starting with Half-Price Bottle night. Each month, we pick 10 wines to feature on Thursday night at a great price. 
  • We are also doing a wine tasting on The Square on Thursday at Discover Denton. Steve will have three of our wines with him to sample, and if you like, purchase a bottle to enjoy during Twilight Tunes or to take home with you. We will be featuring the Quattro Theory wines we have specially priced for May.
  • You can still order the Quattro Theory Wines online. Let us know in your order notes if you would like Steve to bring those to the square with him for you to pick up this evening.
  • And, If you are headed to Twilight Tunes, please take some time to swing by Steve's to pick up a bottle or two. If you call and order before 5, we can bring those bottles to Discover Denton for you to pick up there. Check out our Bottle list online. 
  • We also have jazz at Steve's with the Rob Parton 9-Tet, 7:30 - 9:30. Rob and the band will fill the place with their Big Band jazz.
  • Friday Night, we have the Texas Blues Crew at the bar. The place will be hoppin', so drop in early and stay late. :-)
  • Saturday will be a great day for all the Wine Club Members to come out and sample our May feature wines. There is no planned music, so a great day to come and relax, chat, and taste some amazing wines. 
  • Not a Wine Club Member? Join the club, do your tasting by the end of June, and you will receive a special bonus wine to take home with you.
  • On Sunday, we have more live music with Gwynne Johnson from 6 pm to 8 pm.

We are looking forward to June, and we have two special events for you to consider.

On June 3, we have a special tasting event with California Winery, Brassfield Estates. We will be tasting five of their wines. Their new Texas rep stated that their wines are currently not available in retail stores. We will be the first to share them with you and our other customers here in the Denton area. Read more about Brassfield Estate Winery.

On June 9, we have a Guest Chef Dinner with the folks from Di Abruzzo here in Denton. They are planning a 5-course dinner paired with carefully selected wines from our cellar. Yes, I am getting fancy by calling our bottle room a cellar. :-) Reservations are $50 a person, and that will be applied to the tab the night of the dinner. Reserve today as we have limited seating for the evening.

Visit our Events page to see all our upcoming events.


Have a great week!

From all of us here at Steve's Wine Bar, Cheers!

#DentonHalloween is Here!!

Good Tuesday afternoon!

We hope you have heard about how Denton is officially the Halloween City of Texas! We have 31 days of spookiness ahead of us here in the Downtown area and we hope you will come on down and check out all the fun!

We are participating in the excitement with special wines, a special weekend beverage, and all-around fun. We will have our skeleton friends, Stephen and Stephanie, here to take pictures with you and your friends. 

Our featured wines for the month lean heavily into the Halloween theme through the names and labels of the wines. These are now available for you to enjoy by the glass today! Check out our Blog for the October Wine Club Wines to learn more about each of these fun wines.

The special "cocktail" created for our weekend fun is lovingly named, "The Bloody Spritz". It will be served on the weekends through October. A sparkling wine spritzer with a sugared rim and drowning in the glass is an eyeball!!! Well...a gummy eyeball. ;-)


Tonight, come over for a special musical experience with Lady Cass and the Fellas as we hit Halloween with their fun and spooky night of music. It's also a costume party and for those ready to get out and show off their character, there will be prizes for the best costumes.


Thursday nights, all month long, we have free music on Industrial with Twilight Tunes. We have set up the opportunity for you to reserve your seats at tables we are placing out front. Reservations will include your seat and your first beverage from a select list of wines and beers. Visit our Reservations page to reserve your seats in advance.

We also have 10 select wines we are doing at Half Price each Thursday to enjoy during your visit. 


Monday Night Live Music on the 7th, with the great Brad Leali Tentet and Carla Helmbrecht featured on vocals. Brad is off on another gig that night, but the band will be swinging without him 

You can still reserve your seats for tonight and Monday's musical events.

Steve's Events Page

Reserve your seats online at RESERVATIONS.


It's Festival Month here in Denton and this weekend starts off with the Arts and Jazz Fest. We hope you will make Steve's your stop before, during, and after your time at the park. We have wine and beer to go by the bottle and the glass. Yes, you can grab a glass of something from Steve's to walk with here in Downtown Denton. Bring your cooler by and let us fill it with chilled beer and cool wines, and we'll toss in some beverage cups in case you forgot yours. :-)

October 12th is Geezer Palooza, aka Industrial Street Pop Fest. We will have our large tent set up on the street for our customers to come and sit in the shade and enjoy the festivities.

October 25th - 27th is Day of the Dead. Saturday the 26th we will have a tent out front serving ice-cold beers and chilled wines to walk with. Of course we will have our full menu available inside. And we will be showing the Coffin Races on our TV's inside and on the back patio for those who don't want to stand in the crowd.


Did you know that Steve's was voted as having the best wine list in Denton,

as well as a top shop for wine. 


Have a great week and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Cheers! From all of us here at Steve's Wine Bar.

Heading Into October, Ahhhhhh.....

Happy Wet Monday!

We hope you had an amazing weekend and are enjoying this cooler weather!

Some of you will read the subject line one way, and some will read it another.

Are you the one reading it as relaxed anticipation of "Ahhhh.....finally we are into the fall."?

Or, are you one reading it as "AHHHHHHHHHHHH.....NO. I can't believe October is here already!"?

We are looking at it both ways. We can't believe it's October as it came way too fast. But on the other hand, it's patio weather.  It's festival season, and Denton is officially Halloween City of Texas! We have Jazz Fest, Industrial Street Pop Fest, Day of the Dead Fest, and there are likely other events we are not including.

October tends to be our second busiest month of the year next to December with the help of all the festivals happening, and much nicer weather to enjoy on the patio here in Downtown Denton.

We hope you will use Steve's Wine Bar as your base of operations when visiting Downtown for any, and all festivals and activities. With wine and beer to go, specials with a Halloween them, and just great tasting beverages, we hope you will make us your first stop before wandering around Denton. And YES, you can walk with a beer or a glass of wine in your hand while you enjoy the sights and sounds of Downtown Denton.

I mentioned in the last email that the roads around us are no longer blocked off due to construction. When you come down to Steve's, parking will be a little easier without the barriers. We suggest that if you can't find parking right in front or back of the wine bar, park at the church lot half a block away. It's super convenient and as long as you have your car out of the lot by midnight, everything should be fine.

So let's talk about the start of the next season here at Steve's.

Tonight at 7:00, we have another amazing guest vocalist, with Alyssa Allgood visiting from Chicago. If you attended our special "concert" back in February with Nicole Zuraitis, we think you will have a similar experience tonight. We still have a few reserved seats at $15, but when they are sold out, the cover charge tonight will be $20. So jump online ASAP before the reserved seats are sold out. 

Tomorrow night, we have Shelly Denning in-house doing a special arts and crafts program 6:30 to 8:30.

Wednesday evening we have a new talent to Steve's Wine Bar with Alexandra Tayara hosting a solo show.

Saturday afternoon at a special time, 5 pm, we have another solo act with Júlia Coelho with a very special musical program on vocals, gothic harp, loop pedal, and psaltery. $10 reservations are still available.

Sunday is Birthday Sunday from 5 - 7 pm. Did you or a family member have a birthday this month? Come on down and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine or beer for the birthday person, and light snacks and sweets to enjoy with your beverages. Please reserve your spots as it will help us plan on the right amount of food to have for everyone.

Monday night is another special concert with Award Winning Saxophonist, Jack Lanhardt.

Tuesday is the first day of October, and it's the kick-off of Halloween here in Downtown Denton. We have a special evening planned with Lady Cass and the Fellas. Join us as we start the fun for October with some fun and "spooky" music with Cassandra Berry.

With all the events happening in Denton, rather than compete with them, we are keeping our event schedule on the lighter side for the month of October.

Every Thursday in October there will be live music right across the street from us in the park with the return of Twilight Tunes. Industrial Street will be closed on Thursday nights and we will be putting tables and chairs out front for our customers to sit and enjoy the music. Every Thursday is our Half-Price bottles, so come on down and take advantage of that along with any of the specials we will have for October.

Monday the 7th we will have the Brad Leali Tentet back for another amazing night of music. 

Saturday the 19th we will have The Cats back for another special concert.

Stay tuned as we sprinkle in more solo performances and special afternoon experiences for you to enjoy.

Steve's Events Page

Reserve your seats online at RESERVATIONS.


People have been asking about Cigars. We had neglected to renew our Permit on time and are now waiting for the updated Permit to be delivered. As soon as that is done, we will move our Humidor back out to the main space and be ready to support your cigar needs when visiting Steve's. 


Steve and Karen will be away from the bar for most of October. The staff here at Steve's look forward to serving you, your friends, and your family while they are away. They have put a lot of trust in the team to keep the business rolling, and we hope you will be here to support the team. With your help, we can continue to make October the second busiest month of the year here at Steve's.  


Have a great week and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Cheers! From all of us here at Steve's Wine Bar.

Arbor Day - Steve's Wine Bar

 

Partnership

Through our partnership with non-profit environmental conservation organizations, Vina Robles plants trees with a portion of the proceeds from every bottle of The Arborist sold.

Partnering with One Tree Planted and the Arbor Day Foundation is a natural extension of the winery’s passion for trees and sustainable viticulture. One Tree Planted is a non-profit organization on a mission to make it simple for everyone to help the environment by planting trees. Founded in 2014, One Tree Planted has doubled the number of trees it has planted every year.

 

 

The Vision

"The Arborist, a dynamic red blend, is dedicated to our founder Hans Nef, and named for the arborist who saved the life of the iconic 300+ year-old oak tree featured on our label. Mr. Nef was known for his love of trees; he named the winery for them (robles is Spanish for “oaks”) and put an oak tree on the first Vina Robles wine label. That same tree still exists and is rooted in our estate Jardine Vineyard. Which is rather profound, as its health was declining when Mr. Nef purchased the vineyard in 1997. We are grateful to the arborist who was able to save it in 2014, allowing us all to continue to benefit from its beauty and positive environmental impact."

Join us on this Arbor Day and toast the world with a glass and/or a bottle of the Arborist.

Steve's Wine Bar Updates for the Week of March 21

So….how are we doing?

Is the new format of the email working well for you?

There is so much going on and so little “time” to share the details.

So here we go….


 

Upcoming Events

  • Tonight, 7pm: Blind Tasting #4 - Our last in the series and we still have some room for a few more people. Tonight we open 4 bottles of wine that range in price from the $30 to over $100.

Speaking of Patio Weather….we have our outdoor glass covers available for sale to keep those annoying critters out of your glass of wine or beer. You can pick up a single cover or a set of 4. Come check them out here at the bar, or order online for pick up here at Steve's. Our-Wines-and-Products/Merchandise 


Travel Events: We are excited to be working with Walter and Kim Eagleton on a trip to France in 2024 for Steve's Wine Bar guests. Specifically to the Burgundy and Beaujolais regions. We have booked the chateau for two weeks. There is still room available for those interested in spending the first week of the trip with us in October of 2024. You can learn more online at Artistic Gourmet Travel October 2024.

Paso Robles Tastings: We are headed to Paso Robles the week of June 4 - 10. We have been in contact with some of our favorite wineries plus several we have not yet visited. If you are interested in joining us for tastings in Paso, send us an email and we will let you what the plans are as of the time of the email. 


March Birthdays: We are going to add a little more fun to this month. March is Steve's birth month and we want to invite everyone who has a Birthday in March to come out on Sunday, March 26th from 5 to 7pm for a Birthday drink. We will have select wines available to enjoy as a complimentary glass of wine for your Birthday. Prefer a beer? You can enjoy a beer on us for your Birthday as well. So mark your calendars and come join us for a Sunday afternoon party.


In closing, we thank you for your amazing support! And to all the new (and old) customers visiting us for the first time here on Industrial, thanks for visiting with us. We are so pleased to hear all the positive comments about the space from those who are seeing the space for the first time. The patio on the front and back, the space in general, and how much everyone appreciates the musical experiences we have put together.


Have a great day and we'll see you soon!

Cheers!

Steve, Karen and the entire Steve’s Wine Bar Team.

Steve's Wine Bar Update for March 1st.

Welcome to March! Well, for those reading this on February 28, farewell February!

We are trying a little different format to the email today. Quick hits first, then a brief written update. 

Blind Tasting Events: They start tonight. If you are considering attending all 4, grab the "4-pack" reservation today as it will go away after the tasting tonight.

The first blind tasting is 7 - 8:30pm tonight, and the theme is "Where is this wine from?"

Go online and reserve your seats at one or more of these tastings.


Upcoming Events

  • February 28, 7pm: Blind Tasting Session #1 - What Region is this wine from?
  • March 1, 7:30pm: Fred Hamilton Trio
  • March 4, 7:30pm: Pete Weise Quartet
  • March 6, 7pm: Greg Waits Nonet - Special Monday Night Listening Experience. Most of these musicians are from Dallas and rarely play here in Denton. 
  • March 7, 7pm: Blind Tasting Session #2 - What Grape is in my Glass?
  • March 8, 7:30pm: Kelly Durbin and Chris DeRose
  • March 9, 7:30pm: Gwynne Johnson Trio
  • March 10, 7:30pm: Will St Peter Duet
  • March 11, 3pm: Irish Pub Experience - It's also the Shamrock Shuffle in Downtown Denton. 

Get your advance seating online.

You can learn more about all that is happening this month online at Events.


Live Music and the Cover Charge: We have been asked several times by guests who come into the bar when we have live music if they have to pay the cover charge for the band if they are here to "just drink". The simple answer is yes. We find that most people do come in during live music to enjoy both the wine and the music. But, if they are truly here to just have a glass of wine, people can sit on the front patio without having to pay a cover charge. In the past we have charged cover to sit on the back patio as we normally broadcast the show to the patio so people can enjoy the music outdoors. 


Our Monday Night special listening events have been quite well received and we have two more coming up in March. The first is next Monday, March 6th with the Greg Waits Nonet - Small Big Band. Seats are avaialble to reserve online for the event. The next one will be March 27th with a special performance with Rosana Eckert. We will have more info and reservations online soon.


Blind Tasting Events: We are kicking off our Blind Tasting series tonight at 7pm. We still have seats available but get your reservation in early today as we will be ordering the cheese board from 10:1 Artisan Cheese at noon today.

We have four weeks of blind tasting events each Tuesday evening starting on the 28th. Each week we will have a different "theme". On the 28th, we will focus on 4 wines from 4 distinct regions of the wine world, and the challenge is to identify where each wine is from. On March 7th we will be looking at "what grape is in my glass?" The following week will be "Is this sweet or fruity?" And the final week we will taste 4 wines and the challenge will be to identify what price range each wine falls into. You can register for one or more events individually, or if you like, you can purchase the 4 weeks up front and save a few $'s. Along with tasting the wines, we will be working with our friends at 10:1 Cheese to have something to pair with each wine. 


Travel Events: We are excited to be working with Walter and Kim Eagleton on a trip to France in 2024 for Steve's Wine Bar guests. Specifically to the Burgundy and Beaujolais regions. There is still room available for those interested in spending a week with us in October of 2024. You can learn more online at Artistic Gourmet Travel October 2024.


Wine Club: The March wine club wines have been chosen and are being delivered this week. We will be kicking off our March club tastings this Friday afternoon! For those club members who missed the February tasting, you can taste through Friday and after that, you can still come in during the month of March and pick a couple of bottles from the list. We will have a couple of the wines still open by the glass in March as they were a hit this last month.

Not a wine club member? You can learn more online at Steve's Wine Bar Wine Club.


Have a great day and we'll see you soon!

Cheers!

Steve, Karen and the entire Steve’s Wine Bar Team.
