E-Newsletter 3/17/20

BUSINESS UPDATE:Okay, so here’s what we’re doing.  First of all, our retail shop stays OPEN!  And we are taking every precaution to keep the shop sanitized for your – and our – protection.  That’s the good news. Hours will be 11-7, Tues-Sat.  12-7 Sunday. But in keeping with State guidance the bar will be closed.  This will be in effect through the end of March, and possibly longer, depending on how the situation evolves.  We know this is disappointing, but it’s the right thing to do. As for the shop:  in addition to walk-in business, we accept phone and online orders and can do “curbside pickup.”  We also can deliver throughout much of North County, with a $5 to $10 delivery fee, depending on your location. These are certainly challenging times for us all, but a positive attitude always helps.  We intend to keep smiles on our faces and wine in the shop, at the same low prices as ever. As always, we look forward to serving you in any way we can.  Here’s to your health! WINE OF THE WEEK:With the shop still open, we absolutely must continue our WOW tradition!  (that’s “Wine of the Week,” if you’re new to this newsletter) Since we could all use a little comfort these days, we’re going with a great comfort wine!  It’s the 2015 Easton Zinfandel from Amador County in the Sierra Foothills. Check out the 92 point accolade from Wine Spectator, which awarded this wine the #45 spot in their Top 100 list for 2018: “Epitomizes fine Sierra Foothills Zinfandel, offering vibrant, briary raspberry, smoked pepper and wild sweet anise flavors that stretch out on the zesty finish. Drink now through 2023.” A complex, delicious Zin might be just the thing to help us keep our sanity in these crazy times.  Come pick up a bottle or two!
