Greetings!
Last Friday was our first Wine Friday event and it was terrific! Everyone had a great time and the wines were fantastic and the food delicious. If you weren't able to join us, the next Wine Friday is scheduled for Friday, April 17th. Let us know if you want to join in the fun! Remember it's $42.50 per person, and everyone is encouraged to join us. It really is so much fun!!
We are receiving great feedback on the wines of the month. In case you missed them, they are highlighted below. Delicious and all values for under $20!
And don't forget the next time you are in the store, check out our new "the last chance bin". It has some delicious bottles of wines but we only have one or two left from vintages that are no longer available. At a special savings of 20%, they are going fast!

Featured Wines of the Month - March
|
Quattro Mani Toh-kai 2007
$14.99 a bottle, $152.88 for a case, or $12.74 a bottle as part of a mixed case
This is a perfect wine for quaffing and enjoying with dinners as we lean into Spring. Fresh and crisp with good acidity, this dry white delivers fruit with a touch of minerality. Quattro Mani, or "four hands", represents four celebrity winemakers each who express the character and strength of indigenous grape varieties interpreted through their unique personalities. The choice to use only native varieties reflects their belief that the essence of a region can be best expressed through traditional varieties placed in the hands of skilled artisan winemakers. Quattro Mani wines are always produced from estate grown fruit using sustainable agriculture and are bottled at the source.
This is easy, fun drinking white, versatile and delicious.

Terras de Alter Branco Fado 2007
$10.99 a bottle, $112.08 for a case, or $9.34 a bottle as part of a mixed case
Portugal has some terrific finds when you start to look there. What makes it really different is that they kept with their traditions and use their indigenous grapes. Often you will see labels from Portugal that might look a bit unfamiliar, but once you taste them you will realize that these wines are very tasty, they're structured beautifully and are a bargain! Get to know these blends better. This one in particular, is a terrific blend of the native Portuguese white grapes Anta Vaz and Roupeiro from the Alentajano region. It is crisp, dry and bright. It's got some depth of fruit flavors with a touch of minerality that makes it just terrific to sip. I'm telling you this one is "easy-peasy" drinking. And what a value! At this price it makes sense to buy a case to enjoy throughout the Spring and Summer.

Fattoria Tregole Chianti Classico 2004
$18.99 a bottle, $193.68 for a case, or $16.14 a bottle as part of a mixed case
Everything you want from a classic Chianti, rich red berry and cherry fruit with a touch of earthiness that makes you want to be in Tuscany right now. This is a terrific food wine with just the right balance of tannins and acidity. Just what Chianti is supposed to be. We bought the end of vintage. This wine should retail for $24.99. Please take note, this is a 2004! It will balance tomato sauces beautifully and was a terrific compliment to chicken cooked with peppers and onions. I think this one is a real winner!

Klinker Brick Old Vine Zinfandel 2006
$19.99 a bottle, $203.88 for a case, or $16.99 a bottle as part of a mixed case
This wine is popular because it's sooo good. Old Vine, Lodi fruit, up-front juicy, hints of pepper and spice... big, extracted Zin. We had to include it in this month's featured wines! If you like this style, and you haven't tried it, there is no excuse. Perfect for a steak on the grill, barbecued chicken or RIBS.
I love it.
