and THIS time I mean it...

FRIDAY WINE FLIGHT

The Wines of Charles Smith

Hello To All Those Who Imbibe,

There is a buzz around the store today , and it's all because the new Loring Wine Company Pinot Noirs are the talk of the entire staff. We've been looking forward to these new releases since we blew through our allocation around this time last year. We hope that you will take advantage of the chance to get your hands on a bottle or two now, because they won't be around for long.

Brian Loring has been making world-class Pinot Noirs for as long as I've known him, and I cannot think of any producers that focuses on as many terroir driven Pinots and ends up with such amazing results.

Also, don't miss the Wines of Charles Smith this Friday in the wine bar. Stop by with a friend to taste Heart, Old Bones, Skull, K Phil Lane, Ovide and The Boy. 2010 Winemaker of the Year Charles Smith, enjoys a cult following that guarantees that his wines are incredibly hard to find. The opportunity to taste all of these wines together is even more rare. Don't miss out!

- David
