Large Format Sunday Special 11-10-18

A Large Sale on Large Bottles

For Thanksgiving (and Beyond)

It’s officially holiday party/dinner season, with the big one (Thanksgiving) right around the corner.  The weather has turned brisk and the festive feeling is back.  When we host parties and big-to-do’s, we love to make a magnum (or two) the feature of the evening.  Sure, you could just buy a couple 750’s and call it a night, but the sight of an oversized bottle of something special being passed around really helps make the night feel memorable in a way that two smaller bottles never will.  Large formats just scream generosity—of spirit and of wine.

To make your holiday partying a little bit easier, we’re offering Newsletter Subscribers 10% off on all large format bottles (magnums on up) through the end of the weekend.

Vinopolis Champagne Spectacular 11-3-18

As the sun begins setting earlier and earlier, we start to consolidate and schedule our Champagne program for the holidays.  We’re excited to present an extremely strong collection of wines to you at especially sharp pricing (at least while they’re pre-arrival).  Most of these arrive later this month, though some will arrive in December.  This is the best pricing we’ll be offering on these wines, so act quickly while prices are at their lowest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Gimonnet wines are pure, classical Blanc de Blancs Champagne.  Only 2% of their vines (and none of their wines) are Pinot Noir and Didier Gimonnet’s devotion to cool, minerally Champange made from Chardonnay borders on monastic.  At their best, Gimonnet seems to have a quiet resonance, like a beautiful bell struck in a perfect quiet stone hallway.

August Clearance Sale Roundup

Reloading the Hottest Deals of Last Week

This past week saw two smashing deals—one on Aldo Conterno’s Bussia Barolo and one on the beautiful Scott Paul Pinots.  We sold them hand over fist and demand still hasn’t let up, so we’ve got more of each arriving this week. After this next drop, though, they’ll be gone for good.  

The common theme for these two wines is pricing—we’re offering both the Aldo Conterno and the Scott Pauls far below their usual asking price.
