Et Tu... Brut?
   The Ides of March are upon us! But unless you've just declared yourself god-king of a nascent empire, there's no need to beware. You should BE AWARE, however, that Wine Authorities is still the Triangle's numerus unus* for valores optimorum** in estate wine and that mid-March is an exceptional time to enjoy bubbly (brut or otherwise). Come join us this week for fabulous tastings and the ongoing rosé sale. We're more than happy to be your co-conspirators in bibentes vinum***.

Rosé Sale:

20% off ALL Still Rosé!

Rosé Thangs
  That's right, baby. It's time once more for our annual pre-spring rosé sale, and it's real, real nice...
Rosé Garden Glasses      Yes, the time has come for us to 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 approach of spring!

Tasty Tuesday!
Rosé Sale Tasting
Part Deux 
This Tuesday, March 18th, we present our FREE
midweek wine tasting.  Every Tuesday is tasty!
  5:00 - 7:00 pm 
   Some things are simply so uncontainable, expansive, and epic that they have to be split into two parts in order not to blow our minds all at once; The Bible, the Kill Bill movies, and the Wine Authorities Spring Rosé Sale Tastings are good examples of this phenomenon. We've got so much delicious rosé up in this place that we can't settle for just one Tasty Tuesday's worth of wine. So join us next week for another round with the pink!
 
And don't forget:
All Still Rosé 20% Off!

This Saturday from 12 to 3 PM
in Durham & Raleigh

The Tuscan Tussle!
Tuscan Tussle
Can you dig it? 
        "The Tuscan Tussle" may not look like much in print, but when you imagine it to the tune of Van McCoy's "The Hustle,"  you begin to fathom just how massive is the potential for it to be the next big dance craze!  Let's all just take a moment to think about that, and while we're thinking, we should probably taste some really groovy wine from the central Italian vinoparadise. Join us this Saturday as we sample a refreshing Mediterranean white from the region's southwestern coastal Maremma, a deeply colored and lushly textured blend of Trebbiano and Malvasia, and two phenomenal examples of the quintessentially Tuscan Sangiovese grape.  Get down with the boogie!

The term "easy-drinking" gets thrown around a lot in reference to the medium bodied everyday wines of Italy. It's an apt term; many of these wines are simply easy to drink, especially over the course of a lazy, sundrenched Tuscan afternoon. Just because a wine is so quaffable, however, doesn't...
