WINE OF THE WEEK:
If you’re a long-time friend and supporter, you may have seen mention of this WOW
in the past.
But never at this price!
The 2016 Belcreme de Lys Chardonnay is classic California Chard. Crafted in a
soft, creamy style, it rewards you with flavors of tropical fruit and baked apple, with
additional notes of vanilla and creme brulee that derive from French oak.
While some may be quick to dismiss Chardonnay, it remains the most popular
varietal in the country. Which means it’s always a good idea to keep some handy,
especially this time of the year!
Now for the price. Already a great value at our everyday retail of 9.97/bottle, this
delicious wine is ON SALE this week only for just 7.97.
Come and get it!
THANKSGIVING “MUST HAVE” WINES!
Wine & Thanksgiving go together like kisses and hugs, like floors and rugs,
like water and baths, like smiles and laughs.
Our wine shop is packed with excellent choices for you this season. And to make
that process easier – and super fun – we’re offering a Tasting Event of “Must Have”
wines for Turkey Day.
This tasting opportunity is yours to seize both this Friday AND Saturday, any time
from 4-9 pm. Cost will be just $15. Additional info coming in a couple days!
A TALE OF 2 WEDNESDAYS:
Check out these rare tasting events!
This Wednesday, 11/14, hop into the bar for a super cool, wine geeky comparison
of 4 different Garnachas. These are all made by the same producer, from the same
appellation, and the same vintage. The difference is that the 4 come from 4 different
soil types – clay, sand, limestone, and slate. It is so fascinating to taste the nuances,
and an opportunity like this is a fantastic way to see for yourself how important
the concept of terroir is! Tasting available any time from 5-9. Cost is just $10.
THEN… on Wednesday 11/28 we offer a spectacular opportunity to do a very
similar type of comparison. This is “The Debate” Tasting Event, and this
promises to be amazing.
“The Debate” is a 3-bottle box set of exclusive, expensive, extremely high quality
Cabernets from Napa Valley. Once again, same grape and vintage, same region,
same winemaker (the amazing Jean Hoefliger).
The difference again is place, with the fruit all coming from world-famous grower
Andy Beckstoffer and three of his renowned vineyards – To Kalon, Missouri Hopper,
and Dr. Crane. These are world class wines, and this is a special opportunity.
The vintage we’ll be tasting is the 2014, and the cost for the event is $50.
Cost for the 3-bottle set is $550, and if you purchase one of those the tasting
fee will be waived..
Again, the date is Wednesday the 28th, and we will start at 6 pm. This event is
so special that we are actually CLOSING THE BAR to everyone except those who
come for this experience.
Please let us know soon if you are interested, so we can guarantee you a spot.
