And here's my Tip of the Month. I got a call from an old friend who markets small boutique wineries. He was telling me about a wine under the name of Scully. This is a 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet from the top of Mt Veeder made by another old friend, Helen Keplinger. I met Helen years ago at Paradigm when she was working with Heidi Barrett. Not long after, Helen was then hired to be the winemaker at Bryant Family Vineyards.  That should be all I need to say to tell you how exceptional this wine is, but wait, there's more. This vineyard was planted and is currently managed by David Abreu, who many believe to be the best vineyard man in the business. This is a Cabernet that could sell for over a hundred dollars. Imbibe is proud to offer this wine for only $45.  This wine will deliver sometime in September, so call in a put your name on the list. Unlike today's financial market this is solid information that you can believe in!
