I hope everybody had a nice Valentine’s Day and survived our mini nor’easter.  For those that didn’t get a chance to go out and our celebrating this weekend we still have some beautiful bouquets and a great selection of Valentine wines. In continuing with our value wines for this time of year we’ve brought in 2 new lines of wine at great price points.  The 1^st is a wine called Forestville.  It is made by the Forest Glen people but I actually think it is better.  I used to sell this wine when I worked for Classic Wines and would crank through it.  We will have these at an introductory sale price of $5.99.  Again this isn’t a high end complex wine but true to the varietals and a great middle of the week value wine. 

We have 6 varietals Chardonnay, Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Grigio, Shiraz, and Zinfandel.  The next line is from the Jewel Collection.  They have a delicious Un-Oaked Chardonnay and a Viognier for whites. Cabernet, Merlot, Old Vine Zinfandel, and a yummy Petite Sirah make up the reds. These wines drink like $15 bottles but will have a sale price of $8.99.  For those that have been waiting for the Alamos Viognier it is back in stock and we’ve brought in a new varietal called Bonarda to add to that mix.  I don’t have anybody scheduled for this Friday night but I would happy to pop any of these wines for you to taste.

Not too much new on the brew front.  We do have new Spring beers arriving every week. Including Sierra Nevada IPA which now comes in a 12 pack for the 1^st time.  The Sam Adams Longshot which was 1 of the big hits at the Super Brew II tasting is back in stock. 

OK, I’m going to try a little experiment here.  For those still reading the e-mail and haven’t fallen asleep yet (I know it’s 1 of my weaker ones for humor) we are going to have a secret sale.  Buy any 6 of the large format beers (Stone, Lindemans, Ommegang, you know the ones) and either tell the cashier or show this e-mail and you will get 20% off the 6 bottles.  There is normally 10 % off on a mix 6 so you will double your savings.

Alright while I’m at it I have a few ideas or ideas presented to me by a few a customers that I would like to gauge your interest in.  How many of you would be interested in a wine dinner at one of our local restaurants?  Anysuggestions on which restaurants would work?  I had one planned for La Donna’s but they closed…hmmmm… wonder if the new bank would let us grill in the parking lot?  I’ve had a few requests for a “singles” wine event.  I’m not sure how that would work but sounds like fun.  I’ve tried to make these e-mails very informal but seldom, if ever get responses back except for the please remove from future e-mail requests!  So let’s try to make this more interactive and let me know some of your ideas.

Thanks!
