Wow!

Wines
Under $10

Hello to All Those Who Imbibe,
Richard
With the kids back in school and the promise of a beautiful fall right around the corner, we at Imbibe are taking time to focus on the moments that life gives us.  To enhance our reflection time, we've assembled a collection of great wine at amazing prices.And yes, of course we'll share.
 
A lot of folks think that for wine to be good it has to be expensive.  Instead, consider basing a wine's value on its merits; not its price tag.  To prove our point, below is a list of ten wines all under $10 that please the palate AND the wallet.  If you're ever in the mood to test drive some of these wines, they are always rotating on the wine bar, so be sure to stop by.
 
Also, be sure to check out the events Imbibe has going on in the next month.  Many of these events only happen once a year, or like the Mt. Veeder Winemaker's Dinner, may never happen again.  With such limited availability, these events also have a tendency to sell out early.  If you're interested, pick up your tickets today before they all disappear.
