This week, Stephanie is helping co-write
the email newsletter and helping with the wine choices for the
weekend's featured wines! Friday night from 5-8 and Saturday
afternoon from 1-5 we're having a very special offer that we came up
with and decided to call the event:
"Stephanie's Wine
Give-Away Weekend"
Here's the FREE
WINE offer:
With EACH BOTTLE you
purchase of any of this weekend's 4 featured wines, YOU'LL
RECEIVE A BOTTLE of
"Rare Bird
Sauvignon Blanc" FREE, a $14
retail value.
The offer is
"one for one" -- purchase 1 bottle you get one
bottle of Rare Bird, purchase 6 of the
featured wines, you get 6 bottles of the
Sauvignon Blanc, etc. We've got only 108 bottles of
Rare Bird and when they're gone--they're
gone.
WE'RE TALKING
FREE WINE FOLKS!
The Rare Bird
Sauvignon Blanc is a good wine too, light, slightly citrusy,
some herbal notes and a hint of minerality. Great to drink or as a
wonderful gift idea --- remember, the holidays are less than 3 months
away.
The Rare
Bird Sauvignon Blanc will not be for sale, it's available only when
you purchase one of this week's features.
Stephanie's picks
for the Features of the Week
A to Z Chardonnay
Oregon
The 2006
Chardonnay is another excellent bottle from this Oregon négociant,
offering ripe and luscious fruit flavors of pear, apple, quince and
kiwi. As the wine broadens out across the palate, streaks of spice,
nutmeg, honey and graham cracker appear. It retains its acidic
underpinnings through a generous, creamy finish.
Wine Enthusiast Rating "90 points"
This wine is delicious! $17.99
Pedroncelli
Russian River
Pinot Noir California
An
elegant, medium bodied Pinot Noir. Aromas are highlighted by the
essence of raspberries with clove and toasted oak accents. In the
mouth this wine is soft and velvety with juicy cherry-berry flavors
with just a bit of spiciness. The finish is nicely balanced with
moderate tannins.
Perfect choice to pair with most any meal.
$15.99
Gascon Malbec
Mendoza, Argentina
This wine has a nose full of bright black
cherry fruit. The intense flavors include sweet black cherry, plum and
spice with a lingering juicy finish.
"Wine News"
Rating "90" -- "The Wine Buyer"
Rating "90" An
amazing wine for the price. $13.99
Rancho Zabaco
Lodi Zinfandel California
A brand new wine from Ranch Zabaco,
this Zin displays succulent flavors of raspberry jam and plums with
nuances of spicy black pepper and sweet vanilla. A versatile wine with
soft tannins, it pairs nicely with a wide variety of foods and can be
enjoyed on any occasion. I
LOVE zins--this might be my new favorite! $18.99
Remember, receive a bottle
of Sauvignon
Blanc--FREE with each bottle you purchase of any of this week's
4 featured wines!

bottles left of the Mollydooker "Two Left
Feet" blend and the "Scooter" merlot.

Stephanie's Corner
The LOLITA HALLOWEEN
glasses are selling like crazy, make sure you get one ASAP. (No
matter how many I order, we always sell out)
This year there are additions to the various Halloween Wine and
Martini glasses.
Also, this is the first year that Lolita came out with
"Gotta Love Beer" - Pilsner
Halloween Glasses and first time, "Halloween
Party Shots" - I can't decide which is my favorite: "Green
Spider" or "Vampire Kiss". Another first - Halloween -
"I like mine hot" Beverage Mug -
"Crazy Bones", ya just gotta
have it!!!!! Since this is the first year - these are sure to become
"Collectibles".
Switchables: Halloween Night Lights - very
few left, but I'm placing an order for next week delivery, so if you
are interested - let me know so you'll have it to use for Halloween
"Month".
Some of you have seen
the "REISENTHAL" wine totes I found while visiting our daughter in
Germany. We tried for 2 years to find where to get them in the states
and finally, we now have them in the store. The bags, widely used in
Europe, are very, very durable and can hold 9 wine bottles.
With the purchase of one
of these totes, ("Think Green") every time you bring in the bag and
purchase 9 additional bottles - you'll get 10% discount. Available in
5 color
choices, they'll last forever and help reduce the amount of plastic
bags and cardboard boxes that end up in the landfill.
We hope to see
you this weekend,
Stephanie,
Roger and the vacationing Tish
