Hi all,
WINE TASTING – Ron Feczko is going to do Cabs at the wine class on the 19th. Well, we actually are going to start with some bubbles from Domaine Carneros before we try cabernet sauvignons from Hayman & Hill, Rutherford Ranch, Joseph Carr, Main Street and Coppola’s Director’s Cut. At the end of the presentation we will be giving away the bike that is hanging from the rafters by the cash register. So buy your Bohemian Highway wines and get your tickets.
For most of you that show up early for the wine class, the price is still $10. For you that can’t show up so early, you can reserve your place by buying a ticket for $20 on the days before the wine class. We will have 45 tickets available each week and if you have a ticket you are guaranteed a place, even if you show up at 5 or 10 minutes before 6 PM.
The presentation Friday will start promptly at 6:00 PM. Remember this “ain’t LA” (thank goodness) so don’t be late. 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.
MUSIC – New hours! On Saturday, December 20th, there is going be another great night of live jazz. Bob & Dwight will be playing some more jazz for us and they are recording their sessions. Mark your calendar! Remember there is no cover and no minimum. Just come in and listen to a couple of really talented musicians play some really great music. We have changed the start times on those Saturdays with music to 7 PM so they can play to 9:30.
THANKS – Thanks to everyone that showed up on Friday and we certainly appreciate your patronage!
OTHER – We have a couple of new wines in the shop. York Creek Cuvee One is back in stock and a wine called 4 is brand new. It is a great tasting Cab in a tube. It holds the equivalent to (4) 750ml bottles and sells for $40.
There is going to be a wine maker’s dinner at Skye on February 12th. Chef Scott Tompkins is doing the food and Kenneth Schilling is doing the wines. It is $120 a couple and starts at 6:30. We have a flyer by the cash register.
We have always given a discount of 10% if you buy a case (12 bottles) of wine. Now you get the discount when you buy only 6 bottles.
The wine totes are here. And they are great! They have individual pouches for up to six bottles and we’re selling them at cost, $2.50 each, to encourage you to get one. Then each time you buy 2 or more bottles and use your tote, we will give you 25 cents off your purchase. That will save a few trees along the way. Please participate.
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.
There are a couple of wine lockers available for rent by the month ($7) or by the year ($84).
Have fun,
Liza and Bob
