Greetings!
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.
