Price Check Report 11/7/17

We battle a stigma, and have been doing so for 7 years.  “I’d like to support local small businesses,” people think, “but they just can’t compete with the big chains when it comes to price.”

That may be true in some cases, but it is definitely not the case with us.  Our goal since taking over this business 7 years ago has never changed:  to provide a wine shop that offers the best combination of price, selection, and service in all of North County.

To that end, we regularly conduct competitive price checks.  On the morning of November 7th I stopped by the Bressi Ranch Trader Joe’s to see how we’re doing.  Here’s what I found with the wines that we have in common with them:

Wente Riva Ranch Chardonnay.  Our price 14.97, theirs 15.99.

Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc-Viognier.  Our price 10.97, theirs 10.99

Daou Cabernet.  Our price 19.97, theirs 21.99.

Cuttings Cabernet.  Our price 33.97, theirs 41.99.

Meiomi Pinot Noir.  Our price 15.97, theirs 17.99.

Gascon Malbec.  Our price 10.97, theirs 10.99.

Mollydooker The Boxer Shiraz.  Our price 22.97, theirs 22.99.

See what I mean?  Very competitive, to say the least!  True, we don’t have produce and meat departments, but we do have a sommelier, as well as a wine bar on site.  And that ain’t bad!

Please understand that we’re not trying to upend everyone’s shopping patterns.  All we ask is that you keep us in mind for your wine needs this holiday season, and beyond.  We’re confident you’ll be pleased with our selection, price, and service.  Oh, and if you just can’t make it over here… we deliver to most parts of North County!  (we just need a half a day to a day’s notice)
