Friday 12/16

They say it’s better to give than receive
But is this something that we should believe?
Some might say “just look out for yourselves
After all, there’s no Santa, and there aren’t any elves”

But to us this philosophy sounds rather sad
The kind act of giving always makes us feel glad
And if you still need gifts, maybe this is your sign
‘Cause what makes a better present than wine?

So in that giving spirit this Friday we’ll pour
Seven wines guaranteed to make spirits soar
It’s just fifteen dollars, from four until ten
These are great prizes for women and men:

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2011, $21.97
-91 points Tobin Bros.
Frank Family Chardonnay 2010, $27.97
-91 points Tobin Bros.
Siduri Pinot Noir 2009, $29.97
-91 points Wine Enthusiast
Argiano Brunello 2005, 44.97
-90 points Robert Parker & Wine Spectator
Pahlmeyer Napa Valley Red 2007, $99.97
-96 points Robert Parker
Abstract by Orin Swift 2010, $25.97
-91 points Jim Tobin
John Duval Entity Shiraz 2008, $37.97
-94 points Wine Advocate (John Duval is the guy
who made Penfolds Grange for many years, fyi)

These are great wines, you see that’s no lie
So bring all your friends and give them a try
Consider these words your kick in the rear
Come down and relish this true Christmas cheer!

(seriously, guys and gals, 15 bucks for this lineup?
If you don’t take advantage of this, we’ll issue
you a dunce cap and make you drink Carlo Rossi
for the next month)
