CORPORATE GIFTING
gift box
Leave your gifting to us. 
 
Give us a budget and an address list and we'll do the rest.
 
And we won't smirk at small, last minute gift-programs (because we're rather small and last minute ourselves.)
 
Just email us and we'll help you check one more thing off your to-do list.

FANCY PANTS WINE:
A TRIO OF GORGEOUS WHITE BURGUNDIES

White Burgundy 

Good white Burgundy is a beautiful thing.  It's Chardonnay at its best (yes, that same Chardonnay that so many people love to hate.) 
 
If you're looking for a special bottle to serve with dinner, give as a gift, or sock away for future drinking, these three options have our approval.
 
 Bernard Morey Chassagne Les Baudines 1er Cru 2006
The most immediately opulent of the trio.  We had it open at the shop the other night and everyone liked it.  Everyone.  That never happens. 
 Price: $49.99
 
Hubert Lamy Chassagne 1er Cru "Les Macherelles" 2006
A name to watch, Oliver Lamy (son of Hubert) turns out Burgs that are the definition of pure, intense, focused, and minerally.  Lovely now.  Even better later.
 Price: $69.99
 
Jean-Philippe Fichet Meursault "Le Tesson" 2006
 One of our favorite Burgundy producers, Fichet wines run cirlcles around many wines from more prestigious vineyard sites.  A magic combination of lightness and weight, minerals and nuts, and the classic Mersault note of lemon oil.  Truly gorgeous. 
Price: $72.99
  
hand turkeysTHANKSGIVING! 
Gobble. Gobble. Gobble.
Gulp. Gulp. Gulp. 
 
Depending on how you look at it, Thanksgiving is either a wine and food pairing nightmare (sort-of-bland turkey, all those crazy side dishes!) or a great excuse to drink whatever you want.  We vote for the latter.
 
Below you'll find our favorite turkey day selections, including a selection of 3-Packs and (gasp!) boxed wines.
 
Enjoy!

RED/WHITE/ROSE 3-PACKS

Last year we learned that many people really don't want to think too much about what wine they're serving for Thanksgiving.  For those of you in this camp, we're once again offering our handy Red/White/Rose 3-Packs.  This year, we have three different versions to fit three different budgets.  Just grab and go (well, grab, pay, and go.)

Thanksgiving Wine 101THANKSGIVING 101 
All three of these wines were Frankly Wines best sellers.  They're all tasty, easy-drinking crowd pleasers that won't offend your turkey (or your crazy aunt.) 
 
Sebastiani Chardonnay 2007 (Sonoma, California): Creamy Chardonnay goodness balanced by a crisp citrus edge.  This is even a hit with those who "don't like Chardonnay"
 
Mark West Pinot Noir 2008 (California): Bright, pure fruit with a hint of spice.  Not too heavy, not too light - it's the ideal accompaniment to a table full of Thanksgiving treats. 
 
Crios Rosé of Malbec 2009 (Mendoza, Argentina): Made from the Malbec grape, this is a rose with a kick.  Big fruit, big spice - it's a red wine that just happens to be pink.

PRICING: $36.99 (regular price $40.97)  Buy it.
 
 
Thanksgiving Wine UpgradeTURKEY DAY UPGRADE
Show your bird a little love and upgrade the liquid portion of your dinner  These grape varieties are just one or two steps removed from the usual suspects - without being weird or wine geeky. 
 
Markus Fries Bernkasteler Schlossberg Kabinett 2007 (Mosel, Germany): Almost-dry Riesling from a tiny producer.  Despite fears to the contrary, that tiny bit of sweetness is what makes this a perfect paring for nearly anything.
 
Noëlla Morantin Mon Cher Gamay 2008 (Loire Valley, France): Think of Gamay as Pinot Noir's vibrant country cousin.  This one is made by a young winemaker from fruit sourced from the culty Clos Roche Blanche vineyards 
 
Nigl Zweigelt Rose 2008 (Kremstal, Austria): Nigl is a tip top producer in Austria.  Zweigelt is a red grape rarely (ever?) seen outside of Austria.  And this rosé is a smashing blend of fresh berry fruit and a white pepper kick.

PRICING: $49.99 (regular price $57.97)  Buy it.
 

Thanksgiving Wine AdventureTHANKSGIVING ADVENTURE PACK
Face it - turkey day food can be a little boring.  But you can bring an a little adventure to your table with this 3-Pack.  Yes, these wines are at the bleeding edge of wine geek coolness, but they also happen to be pretty tasty.  Don't be scared....
 
Bornard Arbois Pupillin Melon Le Rouge Queue 2006 (Arbois, Jura, France): In the Jura region, Chardonnay is called "Melon."  But the taste is totally different.  Pure, clean fruit with a slightly sherry-like tang.  Weird but good. 
 
Cos Cerasuolo Vittoria Classico 2007 (Sicily, Italy): A blend of Nero d'Avola and Frappato from Sicily.  You can taste the Sicilian sunshine, but not in a cooked way.  It's all bright cherries, fresh earth and a whiff of spice.
 
Lopez de Heredia Todonia Rosado 1998 (Rioja, Spain): From one of the last 100% old school producers in Rioja, this is not your typical rosé.  A perfect balance of sherry-like tang, exotic spices and ghosts of fruit.

PRICING: $74.99 (regular price $97.97)  Buy it.
FOR THOSE WHO REALLY NEED A LOT OF WINE
Last year, in the days leading up to Thanksgiving, the #1 request was,"Lots of wine and cheap, because I really don't like who I'm dining with."
 
The perfect solution?  Box wine. Good box wine.  This is actually a good solution even if you do like the people sharing your turkey.
 
Box Wine
 
A three-liter box = 4 bottles in one container, complete with a handy tap. One for the table and one for the kitchen and you're set to deal with even the peskiest relatives. 
 
Equivilized bottle prices range from just over $6/bottle for the whites to $14 for the cru Beaujolais (which also comes in a very cute wooden box.)
 
Quality and quantity. Let's all give thanks for box wine.  Good box wine.

  Blue Coast Chardonnay (VdP de Mediterranee, France) 
$24.99/box = $6.25/bottle
 
Wurtz Dry Riesling (Rheinhessen, Germany)
$24.99/box = $6.25/bottle

Roger Perrin Cotes du Rhone (Rhone Valley, France)
$38.99/box = $9.75/bottle

Baronne du Catelard Morgon  (Beaujoulais, France)
$55.99/box = $14.00/bottle
