Happy New Year,

WINE TASTING – Since this coming Friday is New Years Day and I’ll be watching football and sipping a favorite beverage, we won’t be having a wine class. And the shop will be closed too. January 8, 2010 will be the next class and Ron Feczko of Republic National will be presenting the Napa Cellars wines. Please have a wonderful time over the holiday and we hope to see you soon.

THANKS – Thanks to everyone for the cards and gifts. Since I’m so busy (or some folks call it lazy) we won’t be thanking each of you individually but we do want you to know that your thoughts are greatly appreciated!

MUSIC – Sax man Bryne Donaldson will be back on the second Saturday in January, the 9th. Note that the 9th isn’t the usual first Saturday for live music. We hope to see you then.

COMMENTARY – None this week. I had my say and we hope you check it out for yourselves.

OTHER – We have the newest edition, Winter 2009, of Arizona Vines and Wines. It has a bunch of information about the wineries in the state, including maps and tour info. And it is free!

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.

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. Of course the selection is always changing.

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

Have fun,
Liza and Bob
