This Saturday (May 10th) is the final day
of Sorella Wine & Spirits Spring Wine Sale - Save 15%-40% off
every wine in the store (if it is not yellow tagged, it will be discounted 15%
at the register).
Tastings: A representative of Kenwood Winery will
be pouring their current releases this Thursday from 4-7 p.m. This Friday and Saturday, we'll have a number of staff
favorites and best values open starting at 2:00 each
afternoon.
New arrivals: Limited quantities of the 2006 Turley
Zinfandels have arrived; this week will probably be your only chance to
purchase these wines at a discount as they always sell out. We have Old Vine,
Juvenile, Duarte, Dusi and Mead Ranch. To get all these, I had to promise not to
publish the prices, but retails run from approximately $30 to $60 per bottle.
The 2006 Varner Chardonnays (Bee Block & Home Block, Reg. $41.99) are here,
but they won't last long. Cade Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2007 is in (Reg.
$29.99). Bodegas Bleda Castillo de Jumilla Monastrel-Cabernet has just switched
to 2006 vintage (Sale $6.27, will be open for tasting Friday).
Special Purchase (good availability): Brancott
Unoaked Chardonnay 2006 from Gisborne, New Zealand - Regular Price $11.99, Sale
$6.47, Save 46%. (Available for tasting Friday and Saturday).
Special Purchase (limited availability): From
Laetitia Winery in California's Arroyo Grande Valley, Brut Cuvee Sparkling Wine
Reg. $23.99 - Sale $14.97, Brut Rose Reg. $28.99 Sale $19.97.
Best Yet-Undiscovered Deals in the Catalog: The
Craneford Wines from Australia - we bought every bottle the distributor had left
of Cabernet ($12.97 sale), Grenache ($17.97) and Shiraz ($12.97). Each of
the wines received 90 or 89 points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, have been
consistent favorites at our staff tastings, and they are all discounted
over 30%.
That's all for this week. We'll be sending out this
newsletter every other week going forward. We'd love to hear your feedback.
Thanks for reading.
