| YELP US OUT |
 |
It's a rare day we actually ask you for something...but if you happen to be a Yelper and you have the time, give us a review (an honest one, not a fake 5-star one).
We already have a couple, but we want more, more, more! Click on the Yelp logo above and you'll go straight to the Frankly Wines page. |
| SOMETIMES IT IS EASY BEING GREEN |
 |
We know some of you have piles of Frankly Wines bags stashed in your cupboards. Bring them back to us and we'll reuse them - and give you a $0.10 discount per bag. Being green is that easy. |

SCHEDULE |

Could be cheap and cheerful, could be something fancier...but you won't know for sure until you pop on in.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR...
Can you feel it? OK, so it doesn't really feel like Spring is nearby, but in a few weeks it will. As I keep reminding myself, springtime in New York doesn't really start until mid-April.
In the meantime, you can get yourself into a fair-weather mood with our Provence 3-Pack. Think of it as budget travel in a box.
Happy reading. - Christy |
3-PACK: A YEAR IN PROVENCE
What, can't afford a year in Provence? Well, neither can we. But you can still transport yourself there recession-style - with a matched set of this region's beautiful wines....for less than the cost of simply checking a matched set of luggage.
Clos Bernarde Tete de Cuvee Rouge 1999: A "Provencial" blend (meaning everything but the kitchen sink), this red has mellowed out over the last 10 years: subtle red fruits, dried herbs, and very soft tannins. Perfect with lamb.
Clos Bernard Blanc de Blancs 2005:
Provencial whites are difficult to describe - they're more about texture and subtlety than in-your-face fruit. We don't see many of them in the US...because they pair so well with the region's grilled fish dishes, the French are reluctant to give them up to anyone else.
Chateau Routas Rouviere Rose 2007: The Provencial staple - dry, subtle, elegant berry flavors and a beautiful pink color. This is what most people think of when they think "Provence."
3-Pack Price: $47.99 (Regular price: $54.97) | |

FANCY PANTS WINES: BROGAN CELLARS
We are so excited about these wines, we want to keep them for ourselves. But our accountant advised us against this, so here's the scoop:
If you're a California Pinot-phile, you probably know the name Williams Selyem, the fabled winery that started making wine in a two-car garage and quickly became the top Pinot Noir producer in California. Founding winemaker Burt Williams sold the business in 1998, and is waiting for his non-compete agreement to run out before entering the winemaking fray. But the Williams Selyem wines still remain incredibly scarce, mainly available direct from the winery or popping up at the occasionally fine wine store (such as, perhaps, Frankly Wines.)
Whoa whoa whoa....I can hear you thinking, "Williams Selyem....but isn't the fancy pants wine Brogan Cellars? Why aren't you writing about Brogan Cellars? I've never even heard of Brogan Cellars."
 Well, the founding winemaker of Brogan Cellars, Margaret "Margi" Wierenga, is Burt Williams's daughter. After more than a few years working at Williams Selyem, she started her own winery making small production Pinot Noir in a winery that was partially housed in....yes, déjà vu, an old garage. Production is truly small, with a total of 1,500 cases across all her various bottlings. And like father, like daughter, you can only get these wines off Margi's mailing list, at top restaurants, and...at Frankly Wines!
We have two bottlings in stock:
Brogan Cellars Morning Dew Ranch 2007 (Anderson Valley): sourced from Papa Williams's own vineyard. A little darker toned, a little more concentrated, a little more "California" than the Russian River Valley bottling. But with an alcohol level of only 13.6%, this is hardly over-the-top Cali-style Pinot Noir. Price: $59.99
Brogan Cellars Russian River Valley 2007 (Russian River Valley): sourced from vineyard sites across the Russian River region, this bottling is a little more perfumed, with notes of cherries and spice. This wine is elegant, pretty, and dare we say sexy? Price: $59.99
We have less than two cases across both wines. Claim them quickly before we resist our accountant's sound advice and claim them for ourselves.
ADDED BONUS: There are clover leafs on the label, making this the perfect St. Patrick's Day choice for those who think beyond the pint.
