Friday, May 15, 2009

Time: 7:30 PM

Import this event into your calendar

Gather up the family, grab a blanket or chair, head out to Mizner Park for an outdoor movie showing on a 40-foot screen at the Mizner Park Amphitheater. This month's PG-13 film, "HANCOCK," is brought to you by the City of Boca Raton, Aurora Nurses Home Health Care, Florida Health & Chiropractic Medicine, and Sunrise Cinema, who also hand out free popcorn and discount movie passes to Sunrise theaters.

HANCOCK is a 2008 American comedy-drama superhero film starring Will Smith, Jason Bateman, and Charlize Theron. It tells the story of a vigilante superhero, John Hancock (Smith), from Los Angeles whose reckless actions routinely cost the city millions of dollars. Hancock is not your average superhero. Every day he wakes up mad at the world. He doesn't remember what happened to him and there's no one to help him find the answers. Hancock is invulnerable, immortal, possesses superhuman strength, and can fly at supersonic speeds. Eventually one person he saves, Ray Embrey (Bateman), makes it his mission to change Hancock's public image for the better.

Movie-going cuisine is available for purchase to benefit non-profit organizations. Bring along a chair or blanket or chair rentals ($2) are available. Please no family pets, alcohol, or smoking.

Our blind tasting will be an educational and fun way to discover new varietals and labels. We will feature 5 "unmarked" wines, 2 white and 3 red, served covered in foil, once everyone has had the opportunity to taste the wine, we will discuss what everyone is tasting, how to look for certain characteristics in a wine, how to read your palate and words to describe what you're tasting, what you do and do not care for about the wine and how to choose varietals based on those likes and dislikes. After we review each wine, we will unfoil the bottle and share the varietal with the group, giving everyone a chance to "check your instincts" if you will :)

At the end of the tasting you will decide which wines we bring in and feature on the list,
(i.e. "we love this one!"- it comes on the list, "this one is not very good"- out the door...)
We will also be offering all the featured bottles for sale at a discounted price.

Event will be limited to the first 12 guests that pay in advance.
Includes tasting of 5 wines.
