WINE OF THE WEEK:

What a gem of a WOW this is! 93 points Wine & Spirits, and just 16.97/bottle!

It’s the 2014 Baker Lane Sonoma Coast Cuvee Syrah, and man is it delicious.
It’s got everything you expect in a good Syrah: Ripe blackberry and blackcurrant
fruit flavors, notes of cedary oak, hints of black pepper and smoke, subtle dried
herbs, plus that super cool meaty quality that Syrah is famous for.

This wine + something meaty off the grill = one damn fine pairing. Grab some for Dad, and/or yourself, and/or to take to your next barbecue. Cheers!

FATHER’S DAY AHEAD!

This coming Sunday, 6/17, is Father’s Day, and we have the essentials for
making Dad feel loved.

Namely, wine and beer. Our fantastic selection, phenomenal prices, and
expert advice make us your go-to destination for great gifts.

Of course, we also offer gift cards, so come on in. We’re open every day
from now through Father’s Day itself!

IN CASE YOU GET THIRSTY:

You never know, you might get thirsty this week. If it’s towards the weekend, well,
we’ve got a great Top Flight coming up Friday and Saturday, plus half price glasses
of wine for Father’s Day on Sunday.

If it’s Wednesday, which we call Winesday, we’re offering another “Somm’s Choice”
special. This is when one of our resident Somms picks an amazing bottle and
makes it available to YOU at unheard of by-the-glass pricing.

This week it’s the brand new vintage, 2016, of the Booker My Favorite Neighbor,
a Cabernet-based blend from one of the most celebrated wineries in Paso.

The previous three vintages have all received 97 to 99 points from Wine Advocate.
This has just been released and so far has a 95-97 point rating from Jeb Dunnuck:

This exceptional wine “offers smokin’ notes of crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, licorice, smoke, tobacco, and hints of violets. It is full-bodied, polished, complete,
and structured.”

At $75/bottle, this is not a wine you will often get to try. But this Wednesday you can.
And you may do so for just $8/half glass.

(fyi, if you were ever to find this by-the-glass at a restaurant – unlikely – you would
probably pay about fifty bucks for a glass)

This is a rare treat, but rare treats are something we specialize in. Join us
this Wednesday!
