The Prodigal Wines
Have Returned!
   All week, it's been a steady stream of happy returns as long-absent wines flock back to our opened arms. The 2013 ros�s pulled up in a pink cadillac, Austrian and German selections parachuted in from a passing zeppelin, and - perhaps most excitingly - the Garrigon and Venus 3 liter boxes were hauled in via the starships of Box Worshipping Space Monkeys. Come join us in welcoming back these prodigal Wines!
   And in other prodigal news, the long-awaited Prodigal Farm goat cheeses are back in stock...

Boxes are Blooming!

    While you might have heard of "Christmas in July," "Boxing Day in April" is probably slightly less familiar. That's okay! We're here to fill you in on all the juicy details. Returning just in time for all our favorite vernal festivities is a stable of beloved Rhone and Proven�al boxed wines.  Domaine Le Garrigon's famous Vin de M�diterran�e and Cotes du Rhone, along with Domaine Pinchinat's Venus Rouge and Ros�, are finally back!  We also welcome our newest arrival to the wild world of 3L, Apaltagua's "Gran Verano" Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile's Curico, which joins the estate's crisp, tropical box o' Sauvignon Blanc!
   To celebrate all the boxy goodness we have going on up in here, our next two Saturday Tastings feature estates which know that it's sometimes best to think inside the box, so glass bottles are going to be sharing the spotlight with space-age sachets forged of mylar and cardboard...

Tasty Tuesday!
Cave Freudenreich 
This Tuesday, April 28th, we present our FREE
midweek wine tasting.  Every Tuesday is tasty!

5:00 - 7:00 pm
   This Tuesday, as our springtime conditions continue to escalate, journey with us to one of France's most heralded regions for white wine.  Alsace is famous for the minerality, ethereal perfume, and breathtaking acidity often found in its wines, and we've fallen in love with these traits (as well as the exceptionally great value) in the wines of Cave Freudenreich.  Join us as we sample a medium-bodied Pinot Blanc and a pair of exceptional and very different dry Rieslings - one gentle and seductive, the other firm, crisp, and brilliantly bright.
And don't forget:
Our Tasty Tuesday 15% Half-Case Discount!
After you taste, put together 6 bottles from our Tasty Tuesday lineup, and we'll take an entire 15% off!
 

This Saturday from 12 to 3 PM
in Durham & Raleigh

The Valle Central's Vi�a Apaltagua
Bastions of Boxes: Part 1
    April in Apalta?  This Saturday, we're venturing to Chile's Valle Central, where we'll encounter the stunning values of Vi�a Apaltagua. With vineyards located not only in the Colchagua province's Apalta (from which the estate takes its name) but also in Curico and Casa Blanca, it produces powerful, balanced, and very representative wines. As if a series of Daily™ beauties in bottles wasn't enough, two of this week's offerings come boxed in 3-Liter gallons (well, almost gallons) of goodness!

Sauvignon Blanc is one of Chile's most sought-after specialties, and the Loire Valley native does excellent work in the nation's Valle Central. Arguably the antithesis of the cold-climate offerings associated with New Zealand's Marlborough or France's Sancerre, these...

Its signature combination of deep purple fruit, jalape�o and chocolate makes for reds that are highly memorable and very crave-able while its fascinating history as a long-lost component in Bordeaux strengthens its intrigue...
