Hi all,

WINE TASTING – We’re going to Australia! Carl from Awesome Wines is going to be here this Friday, November 14th, to show us some spectacular wines. From Triplepoint we’ll try their SB (Sauvignon Blanc), Chardonnay (unlike any you have had) and a Shiraz-Sangiovese blend. Then we’ll taste three wines from the Pretty Sally Estate. They are the Cab, the Cab-Shiraz and the Shiraz. They are stunning!

The presentation Friday will start promptly at 6:00 PM. Remember this “ain’t LA” (thank goodness) so don’t be late. The wine class costs $10 per person and all the featured wines are 10% off. For the money you get to try the wines during the wine class and compliment them with the best food at any wine class in the state. We are limiting the class size to 45 and our apologies to those we had to turn away last Friday.

MUSIC – New hours! On Saturday, November 15th, there is going be another great night of live jazz. Bob Ravenscroft on piano and Dwight Kilian on stand up bass are going to play. Remember there is no cover and no minimum. Just come in and listen to some really talented musicians play some really great jazz. We are changing the start times on those Saturday’s with music to 7 PM so they can play to 9:30.

THANKS – We had a larger than usual crowd last Friday so thank you for your understanding. Again our apologies to those that didn’t get in. I think 5:15 was the earliest that we have ever had to say “No more room”.

OTHER – We have always given a discount of 10% if you buy a case (12 bottles) of wine. Starting today you get the discount when you buy only 6 bottles.

The wine totes are here! They are very colorful and very useful with 6 sleeves to hold that number of bottles. They sell for $2.50 and you get 25¢ each time you use it.

We’re giving away a bicycle! The basic idea is that when you buy a couple of bottles of the very reasonably priced Bohemian Highway wines, you get entered in a drawing. They have a Pinot Grigio, a Sauvignon Blanc, a Chardonnay, a Merlot and a Cabernet Sauvignon for less than eight dollars each. Just before Christmas (yes Matilda there is going to be a Christmas this year) on the 19th of December we will have the drawing and someone will win the bike. It is the kind you pedal, a “cruiser”, and not the kind your favorite lawyer rides. And a portion of the proceeds are being donated to Linda’s Secret Santa Shopping Spree.

The Turley wines are very hard to get but we have their Zinfandel from the Ueberroth Vineyards. It is great (and expensive)!

You may have noticed that we have some wines on sale up at the front of the shop. These are excellent wines that are the older vintage or one that we can’t get more of or such. And you can save a few bucks off our already great prices.

We have WiFi available in the shop if you’d like to use it. Just ask for the password.

Have fun,
Liza and Bob
