Greetings! 
Featuring Walking Fish
At next week's Tasty Tuesday (March 26th), we have a special treat lined up featuring Durham's stellar seafood Cooperative, Walking Fish. Crisp, minerally whites and oysters are a famously ideal pairing, and we're offering a plate of six raw or steamed oysters and a glass of wine alongside our free Tuesday tasting for only $15. Txakoli, Muscadet, and Favorita will be accompanying the mollusks, and a couple of oystermen will even be on hand to talk about what they do and why it's so important to support local fisherman. Don't miss this or you're liable to find yourself saying, "shucks"!
No reservations required, but reply to this email with your number of guests if you think you'll come. Just to help us plan. thx.

The time has come for us to once again dust off our garden shears (and garden gnomes) in preparation for the monumental marvel of landscape architecture which is the Rosé Garden. Just thinking about it instills in us an almost unquenchable thirst for this noblest of pink drinks! Though it's not yet quite time for the Garden, we have a host of wonderfully vibrant rosés in stock to choose from at a deep discount. All still rosé is 20% off for a limited time, so enjoy and celebrate the arrival of spring!

Tasty Tuesday!
Wine & Oysters
This Tuesday, March 26th, 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!
Next week, Durham's outstanding resource for fresh seafood, Walking Fish, teams with Wine Authorities to offer a special wine and food pairing treat. Tangy, minerally whites and fresh oysters are truly a match made in heaven, so we're celebrating the culmination of oyster season by offering, in addition to our free Tuesday tasting (consisting of free samples of three oyster-friendly wines), a plate of six raw or steamed oysters with a glass of your favorite wine from the tasting for only $15. Bon appetit!
And don't forget:
Our 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!

Rock out with our Wachau
(and Wagram) Tasting!
This Saturday, at WA, we're pouring wines from two of Austria's premiere regions for outstanding wine, Wagram and the Wachau. From the latter's Tegernseerhof, there will be exceptional examples of piercingly crisp Grüner and bone-dry Riesling from the unrivaled terraced vineyards that famously populate the region. From one of Wagram's true stars, Anton Bauer, a pair of new arrivals featuring the quintessentially Austrian Zweigelt and Blaufrankish will quite possibly introduce you to a previously unknown level of value and substance in the country's reds. Prost!
