“As Single As You Wanna Be” Saturdays at Hostile Grape

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Many of you attended, and many more of you may have seen or heard about our “As Single As I Wanna Be” party for this past Valentine’s Day at M Resort. It was held down in our wine bar, Hostile Grape, which has one of the coolest, sexiest atmospheres of any venue in Las Vegas. We decided to give ladies who
HG-Val-Red-Heels2blogshowed up in their sexiest red stilettos a free bottle of wine and wow did that party turn into a hit! With a $20 cover getting you two specialty cocktails or a $20 wine card (and in the door too by the way) the party offered a really good time and great value for the money. 

We received a ton of comments about how there weren’t any good singles nights and events here in Las Vegas and could we, maybe, possibly, pretty please have more of these parties at Hostile Grape? Well the “pretty pleases” have been answered.

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.

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!
