Tamuras to host bottle signings by author | News, Sports, Jobs

Tamuras Fine Wine & Liquors with Maui locations in Kahului and Lahaina will host bottle signings by Under the Tuscan Sun author Frances Mayes (see story on this page for more information about her other appearances).

Tamura’s Fine Wine & Liquors with Maui locations in Kahului and Lahaina will host bottle signings by “Under the Tuscan Sun” author Frances Mayes (see story on this page for more information about her other appearances).

“With all of the press surrounding her coming to the islands, I thought we should capitalize on her time here and create some buzz with the locals by offering some bottle signings at Tamura’s locations on Maui,” says Alan Jahns, wine division manager of Paradise Beverages.

While she won’t appear at the Tamura’s Express location in Wailuku, Mayes will do bottle signings of her wines from 3 to 5 p.m. Wednesday in Lahaina and from 5 to 7 p.m. Sept. 24 in Kahului.

“We’ll set her up behind a table with some case stacks of her two top sellers, the Pensiero Pinot Grigio and the Tondo Tondo Sangiovese,” says Jahns. “Then people can walk up, grab a bottle, and she will sign it for them on the spot.”

Behind both the novel and the film of the same name, Mayes will also do local TV appearances.
