NOTE:  EASTER SUNDAY HOURS WILL BE 10:00 - 1:00


We are excited about this week's tasting and offer!  We are long-time admirers of one of the original "Rhone Rangers", Randall Grahm, and what he has done with Bonny Doon Vineyards.  Saturday, we will be pouring numerous Bonny Doon wines, including the amazing 2010 "Le Cigar Volante".  Also, we will have the Picpoul, Vin Gris de Cigare, "A Proper Claret" and Clos de Gilroy wines for only $15 all week (they are regularly $23).   Come join us in the tasting room to learn about the wines and the "story" from the distributor of the wines.  They are innovative, and "pure fun" (says Kirk)!

BONNY DOON TASTING 
SATURDAY APRIL 4 
3-5 p.m.


a bit more from Wikipedia:

Bonny Doon Vineyard is a winery in Santa Cruz, California, that focuses on terroir wines. Founded by Randall Grahm in 1983, it is perhaps best known for its quirky labels, eccentric mix of grapes, and humorously-named wines-like its flagship wine, "Le Cigar Volant".[1][2] It was amongst the first Californian wineries to embrace Rhone varietals, and entered the national spotlight in 1989, after Grahm appeared on the cover of Wine Spectator as "The Rhone Ranger."[3]

 

The winery achieved large-scale commercial success with brands like Big House Red and Cardinal Zin, before "doon-sizing" its portfolio in 2006 to refocus its efforts on "terroir" wines and biodynamic practice.[4] Bonny Doon Vineyard continues to be known for its unique label artwork, sourcing designs from artists like Chuck House, Grady McFerrin, Ralph Steadman and Gary Taxali, and more recently for its use of biodynamic practice. It was among the first premium winemakers to adopt screw caps for its wines in 2001, and in 2008 pioneered the use of transparent ingredient labeling on all of its wines.[5]

 
"Skye me to the Moon"
the Isle of Skye

One of the enigmatic Scottish isles is the "Isle of Skye".  One of absolute BEST values in blended Scotch whisky is the "Isle of Skye - 12yr".

Bold. Assertive.  A big mouth-feel you rarely get with blends. Honey character, vanilla-caramel and nougat, copious sherry, and wisps of smoky wood and peat beneath.   Our price is only $35. 


ORIN SWIFT
"SKIN DEEP"
$15.99

"Beauty is only skin deep"... this rose' quickly sold out last time, we were able to get a bit more.

It's time for the patio...??
2005 VERSO CELLARS
CABERNET (Colorado)
$15.99 (reg $20)

Verso is a "Cabernet Specialist".  Palisade fruit from higher elevation E. Orchard Mesa, 100% French oak, and a special mix of 6 cab "clones".  This wine has matured very nicely, and is a great bargain... try finding good older  CO reds.  Check out what Colorado can do!



We have updated our "20-under-20" list (please click the above link to see it)!  Fantastic deals from all over the world.  OK... we admit... we have 24 wines listed, we just could not control ourselves (or cannot count?!)
                              

WE ARE GLAD TO HELP WITH YOUR EASTER SELECTIONS!  NOTE THAT OUR SUNDAY HOURS WILL BE 10:00 - 1:00.
