New Hostile Grape Specials – Get Social & Get to the Grape

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Why is the grape hostile? Wouldn’t you be a little angry if you were being crushed to produce a beverage? (Albeit a spectacular beverage!) Maybe you’d be happy though, since you’d be providing the world with something wondrous. 

While the grape may be hostile, the Hostile Grape is anything but. It’s inviting. It’s sexy. It’s chic. It’s happy. That’s right, things just got a little happier in our stunning wine bar with a new array of great happy hours. For you bloggers, Tweeps, Facebook Fans and social media mavens in general, we’re having a couple nights right up your alley…or cellar as the case may be. Did I mention $5 all-you-can-eat appetizers? 160 wines by the glass?

Valentine’s Weekend at M – Wine & Dine, Flirt & Fun

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

We’re fairly certain that come January 2, the grocery stores and mall shops had already sprouted a plethora of Valentine’s Day goo-gaws. From aisles dedicated to teddy bears, heart-shaped chocolate boxes and the latest and greatest Twilight-branded expression hearts, to cleverly worded “Roses are red…” poem greeting cards and a million online links to “Romantic Gifts for Him or Her,” Valentine’s Day is most definitely upon us.

Here at the M we’ve created specials for everyone – coupled or not. For the romantic twosomes, we have special Valentine’s Day menus in all our restaurants if you’re planning to celebrate with a dinner out. (Make reservations soon!) The food is divine and the views don’t get any more romantic. Check out our special Valentine’s Day menus here.

Now, for those unattached, we have a special party for you in Hostile Grape. It’s our As Single As I Wanna Be bash inside the Hostile Grape on Saturday, Feb. 13 and Sunday, Feb. 14. Wear your sexiest red stilettos ladies and go home with a complimentary bottle of wine while supplies last.

For those of you that want to prepare something at home for your special someone, check out Las Vegas’ only live cooking show – Martini Time with Chef Tina Martini. This week’s show is “Valentines for the Foodie,” and if you’re looking to impress with your own culinary stroke of genius, get down to the show to learn, laugh and taste too. Plus, enjoy a Chocolate Raspberry Martini and get the recipe to try at home.

If you can’t make it to the show, we’ve got a special martini for you to make at home or for you to try at one of our bars. Here’s our Valentine’s Day martini recipe:

White Chocolate Cherry Martini

Ingredients:

 .25 oz Cherry Brandy
1 oz White Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
.25oz White Crème de Cacao
2 oz Three Olives Chocolate Vodka

Preparation:

Shake all ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with edible red rose (or petals), small chocolate heart, caramel spiral and a sprinkle of red sugar.

*****

And don’t you worry race fans and sports gamblers, we didn’t forget about Daytona so have no fear. There are plenty of screens around the resort should you need to sneak away and check out the leader board.

We hope you’ll join us at M Resort to celebrate Valentine’s Day weekend, but regardless of your plans, your status and your situation, we hope it’s a great one and wish you the best of times with your loved ones.

Turkey Day Wine Picks

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

When it comes to wine and Thanksgiving dinner – relax! There’s no one wine you SHOULD have with this special dinner, but rather, there are many opportunities that lend themselves to pair different wines based on each course and your tastes. On the other hand, if you want to make it simple, provide a red and a white variety and go for a lighter, fruity style such as Pinot Grigio or a Pinot Noir. They work with both turkey and traditional Thanksgiving side dishes. The Hostile Grape Wine Cellar here at the M Resort offers many for you to choose.

Here are four wine recommendations from Agi Toth, Sommelier at the M Resort:

Jeio Prosecco, NV, Italy

This light, refreshing bubbly is a great way to start off the Thanksgiving holiday.  It’s bright acidity and soft fruity flavors will bring on an appetite for your turkey feast.

Dillmann Delight, 2007 Riesling

A slightly sweet riesling with citrus, tropical fruit and mineral aromas, this light-bodied, un-oaked wine complements creamy sauces and balances the spicier dishes.

Drouhin, 2007 Beaujolais Villages

A classic fruity red wine from France, this wine is a soft easy-drinking option for those red wine lovers.

Concha y Toro, Casillero del Diablo, Carmenere 2007

If you’re looking for something richer, spicier and brimming with darker luscious fruit, try a little Chilean carmenere, an old-world variety with a new-world twist that will stand up to your rich gravies and roasted turkeys.

Remember, you don’t have to serve the same wine throughout the meal. Just include an additional glass or two to the place setting and let your guests try different wines with each dish. Stop in and talk to one of the Hostile Grape’s sommeliers and they’ll steer you in the direction that suites your taste and your pocketbook!  Hostile Grape is also offering 10 percent off a bottle when you purchase it at Hostile Grape!

JC’s Birthday at the Hostile Grape

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

bday-crowd2

Every Wednesday from 6-8 pm, JC Fernandez of MIX 94.1 hosts our weekly “Escape to the Grape” wine tastings. JC does an awesome job and when we discovered his birthday was on Monday, we couldn’t resist incorporating a special birthday celebration into this week’s event. It was the perfect way to honor our host and thank him for all of his hard work week in and week out.

As part of the birthday bash, our pastry chefs created a delicious sheet cake, complete with JC’s picture on top, for all of our guests to enjoy. JC’s No. 1 birthday request was an extra hour of musical entertainment by Mark B., Hostile Grape’s resident guitar player and singer and we were happy to make it happen. 

JC's Birthday Cake!

The man of the evening

The man of the evening

JC is a popular guy and Las Vegas loves him! A great crowd came out to enjoy the wine tasting and wish JC a happy birthday. The man of the evening also chose each of the four featured wine selections for the tasting. JC is a fan of full-bodied red wines and his picks received two thumbs up and many compliments from our guests! 

Coming up next Wednesday, August 26 – Escape to the Grape for the Battle of the Wines. Join us from 6-8 pm for special red and white wine flights and sample four featured selections for just $15.
