Greetings!
We always find ourselves getting really revved up around the holidays and for good reason! This is our busiest time of year, and our customers are buzzing with an infectious bounty of yuletide cheer (albeit often while in the throws of SSF ~ seasonal shopping frenzy.) There's a lot to be excited about this year - a steady stream of new wines which are chomping at the bit to be stuffed into the stockings of your friends and family or shared at the year's most festive parties and gatherings. Also, don't forget that in just over a week (on Saturday, December 15th), we'll be joined here during our tasting by esteemed New York Times wine journalist Eric Asimov from 1:00 - 3:00pm!
We have the perfect wines to go with all of your fried foods for Hanukkah!

Giacomo Salami
Limited Edition 2012!
With the approach of 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
(-$6.00 discount)
= $32.98

On Saturday, December 15th, we'll be joined in store by none other than Eric Asimov, impassioned New York Times wine journalist and author of the critically acclaimed (and beautifully titled) book, "How to Love Wine," which he'll be signing from 1:00 to 3:00 as we perform our free weekly Saturday tasting! Put it in your calendar.

A Small Vineyards Discovery:
What's behind that gold seal on all of the bottles that come to us from the Small Vineyards portfolio? A philosophy that's very close to our hearts! Small Vineyards is an importer of wines from Italy and Spain which, just like Wine Authorities, focuses exclusively on small family-owned winegrowers. In fact, each of the producers they represent is among the smallest 10% of its respective region. This Saturday, join us as we pour samples from four of these excellent (and gift worthy) Italian selections which prove once again that small producers not only offer the best value and quality but are indeed often the most innovative and forward thinking as well. Bellissimo!

TROPICAL FRUIT, LEMON PEEL, SAGE, SUPER & TUSCAN! Sort of a white-wine take on the crowd pleasing Supertuscan tradition, this is a vivacious blend of two classic Tuscan grapes (Trebbiano, Malvasia Blanc) and two familiar French varietals (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc). The four...

RICH, JUICY BLACK FRUIT, TOASTY COCOA AND SPICE Fruit from 90 year-old vines is interesting on its own, but Barbera this intense is cause for a double take. In this case, 18 months in French oak helps bring out the grape's innate depth, matching a soft, modern texture with typical Italian...

A FRIENDLY FELLOW. LUSH RED FRUIT, GENTLE SPICE Supertuscans are designed to be crowd pleasers, and they don't get much more approachable than this great blend from Perazzeta. In fact, we could go so far as to say that it represents some ur-theory, some unifying constant of red wine, some...
