After all the excitement of the last few weeks, this week looks to be a little quieter. At least, at first. We’re in-between some of our special events (although the planning and coordinating goes on), but we do a have a bit more time to talk about some of the new wines we’ve brought in or are on order.
As promised with the ‘spring cleaning’ 30% off sale (some great deals remain!), we’ve made room for some new wines, and we think we’ve picked out some great stuff. A few new Cabs, Pinot Noirs, Syrahs, great new French, Italian and Spanish selections (too many to note here!) some lesser known white varietals, and some excellent Roses. If you are not familiar with Roses, or thought they always were sweet and included the word ‘white’ somewhere in the name, you are in for a special treat! Our Roses are loaded with crisp, summer flavors and leave light dry aftertastes. They are great with a lot of varied foods. Check them out next time in.
Regarding our events, you’ll now find an event calendar page on the website. We’ve got a lot of things happening so it’s cool to have somewhere to post it all. And if you have an event that would be of interest to other Grapes and Tasters, drop us a line so we can cross-post with your event(s).
