 Greetings!
"Le Beaujolais Nouveau est Arrivé!"
"This is so much better than the schlock from the grocery store!"
- Claire S.
Now in stock from our favorite producer of Beaujolais Nouveau, Domaine Vissoux (a.k.a. Pierre Chermette), are two brand new examples of this quintessentially young French red! These juicy, fresh, and berryish delights have arrived, true to form, just in time for holiday festivities and offer a fresh and wonderfully delicious opportunity to celebrate the 2012 harvest. These wines often sell out in a matter of days, so don't wait to discover this year's most artful Nouveau wines!

Giacomo Salami
Limited Edition 2012! 
With the approach of Thanksgiving and the holiday season, we always look forward to the yearly arrival of Giacomo's Wine Authorities exclusive holiday Salami! It has arrived, and if we may say so, it's quite possibly the best yet! Spicy, succulent, and indulgent, these masterpieces of Abruzzo/Marche-inspired goodness are merely $24.99 and available only for a few short weeks!
This year it's a spicy one, 1 3/4 pounds, made with Marchetti Montepulciano, red pepper, aged pecorino, sun-dried tomatoes, and fennel. Only 250 were made, so get them soon before they are gone.
Buy the Salami and the wine it's made with and save $6 for the perfect pair!:
Ltd edition 2012 Salami ($24.99)
+ Marchetti Montepulciano ($13.99)
= $38.98

Tasty Tuesday!
Alternative
Thanksgiving Wines
This Tuesday, November 20th, we present our mid-week FREE wine tasting. Every Tuesday is tasty! From 5:00 - 7:00, we host this bonus tasting of three wines to get you through the early week and land you safely on hump day!
"Alternative Thanksgiving wines" are about a lot more than just turkey! Sure, they have to pair splendidly with the enormous birds, hams, and odd side dishes that we've somehow collectively agreed should be served together, but it's also important that they have a bit of additional flare and added versatility. After all, with a holiday as crowded and food-centric as Thanksgiving, you never know what manner of strange casserole might end up at the table! Join us this Tuesday as we showcase three food friendly wines that really rock...
And don't forget:
Tasty Tuesday 20%
Mixed Case Discount!
After you taste, put together 12 bottles from our Tasty Tuesday lineup, and we'll take an entire 20% off!

Thanksgiving Selections 2012 Part Two:
"The Final Four"
 Join us this week for part two of our "Thanksgiving Selections" tasting. Thanksgiving celebrations are, by design, tests of endurance and indulgence, and they're so much the better when paired with the right wines. This year, we've selected an ensemble of returning holiday champions and exciting new arrivals (don't worry, they get along splendidly!) to accompany you to this year's festivities. This line-up has its sights honed on classic Thanksgiving fare but will gladly rise to the occasion of more unusual and adventurous meals. Join us this Saturday to taste!

Schäfer
"The Chancellor" 2011
Kanzler, Kerner, Riesling
(Rheinhessen, Germany)
TROPICAL FRUIT & SULTANA, GOLDEN, DRY & AROMATIC
The Schafer winery is dark, wet and cold. Perfect for creating crisp elegant whites of character. We tasted through the usual suspects like Riesling and Sylvaner, when they presented this odd white blend called Trivini (three grapes). Clearly it was a stunning value with elegant flavors, but oh that name. Turns out there are...

Grand Firepeak Cuvée is the name used for the top wines coming from Baileyana. Over twenty years ago, Catherine Niven founded Baileyana and is known for her 7 words: "Be the best you can be in whatever you pursue." This Pinot vineyard area is located just inland of the cool....

Mas del Périé
Tu Vin Plus Aux Soirées 2011
{biodynamic} 50% Malbec, 50% Cabernet Franc (Southwestern France) SOFT, SUPPLE & SPICY. BLACKBERRY & POMEGRANATE Fabien Jouves doesn't just rock the classic style of Cahors. He also makes a few "vins de soif" (quaffers.) This one is half Cabernet Franc, a grape illegal here, thus the "Vin de France" lack of appellation & no vintage on the label. The name is a pun on "Tu Vien Plus Aux Soirees" meaning "You're no longer welcome at this party" a.... On Sale $19.99 [Full description]
