Your Summer White Wine For $7.99!

2013 Mont Gravet


Release Price: $9.99
Winestore Price: $7.99
SAVE 20%

SAVE AN ADDITIONAL 10% IN A MIXED CASE!


It is officially summer - I know, it feels weird to say that...heck, just the other day we were all complaining about the long winter and now, BAM, it's sum sum summertime.

Well, here at winestore. when summer rolls in, we need a summer white to roll in as well. We're not talking change your life / it's gonna be the next big thing white wine. We're talking sub $10 drink by the pool in a plastic cup and it still tastes amazing white wine. You know the kind we are talking about....

So today we offer you the 2013 Mont Gravet Cotes du Gascogne - which is 100% Colombard. The Colombard grape makes some really great and crazy Armagnac but the French folks living in the Cotes de Gascogne also chug down buckets of the wine as a crisp, refreshing, ideal quaff. We are firm believers at this point that you should too.

So let's get on it people. It's sunny. It's Wednesday. It's summer. Let's drink some great, inexpensive white wine!

37% Off Vacheron Sancerre!

2012 Vacheron Sancerre


Release Price: $39.99
Winestore Price: $24.99
SAVE 37%

Save an additional 5% on six and 10% on twelve (mix and match)


We've been getting inundated with requests for Sancerre now that the weather is warming up. We have typically carried all sorts of French Sauvignon Blanc that could easily pass for Sancerre, but we have had a hard time finding the real thing at a friendly price. In walks 2012 Vacheron Sancerre for only $24.99 - and we pounced.

Every region has its champions, even if it’s unfair to single out particular producers when the ancient Sauvignon Blanc area has so many heroes. But Vacheron is one of those great winemakers; and in a vintage as lush as 2012, this is just plain fabulous.

So if you love Sancerre, love Sauvignon Blanc, love white wine, or just need some goodies for the holiday weekend, come and get it!

As always, THANK YOU for your business!

2012 Caymus 40th Anniversary Cabernet has Arrived!

2012 Caymus Cabernet


2012 Caymus "40th Anniversary" Cabernet
Winestore Price: $54.99


Save an additional 5% on six or 10% in a case (mix and match)

We most likely don't need to tell you anything about Caymus Cabernet, right? I mean it is one of the most famous names in all of California Cabernet.

Good fortune has certainly followed the Wagner Family, owners of the Estate, and 2012 was no different. In a year that they were to celebrate their 40th Anniversary mother nature served up what was by all accounts a stunning vintage in Napa (and really most all of California for that matter). They also came out with a cool new label - for what it is worth.

So today we are here to offer you the juice of their labor (get it?). They also produced a cool 1 Liter bottle that will be released towards the end of June and a 3L bottle that will be released at the end of July. All good things people!

So let's get to it!

Win 15% Off A Wine - For Life!

Match the Review to the Wine!
Saturday May 17th, 2014
11am - 8pm
ALL DAY LONG!


http://weeklywinejournal.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/wine_match_wheel_decoder1.jpg*

*I have no idea what this picture is about - but it said "Winematchwheel Decoder" - which we thought was funny

Many times I have read an expert wine review, tasted the wine, and then thought to myself "Am I tasting the same thing?" Other times maybe I have thought "This review is spot on!". So when we were batting around fun tasting ideas the other day we thought "What if we tried to match the expert review to the wine? Would it be easy?"

We are going to find out this weekend!

All day Saturday at all three stores we will have six wines on the machines to taste. You will be given a sheet listing the name of the wine and then six professional wine reviews. We want to see if you can match the review to the wine.

What happens if you win? I mean, we have to have a prize, right? So if you match the review to the wine, two things happen:

1) You get 15% off that wine on your next purchase
2) You get to write a review for that particular wine (if you want to...)

If you choose to write a review we will put it in a contest with all the other winners and choose our favorite (we like funny more than serious...just FYI). If your review gets chosen, it will become the new store shelf talker for that wine - and you'll get 15% off that wine...FOR LIFE. That's right. You're never paying retail for that product ever again.

So six of you are getting 15% off a bottle of wine (hopefully your favorite) - for life. Good things!!

Something new and different - and hopefully fun! We hope to see you this weekend!

2012 Mas Donis Has Landed!

2012 Capcanes "Mas Donis"

Release Price: $14.99
Winestore Price: $12.99
SAVE 13%

Save an additonal 10% in a mixed case!


We've been loving Mas Donis since the day we opened our doors nearly 8 years ago...and apparently world renowned wine critic Robert Parker is all in on the latest vintage of this inexpensive superstar.

Now, you know we think RP tends to jump on the hyperbole train from time to time, but whenever he says that a wine that costs only $12.99 - "It is difficult to find a better value than this incredibly rich effort...it is nearly impossible to believe that something this good could be priced at $12 a bottle" - you have to pay attention.


So here we go with the 2012 Mas Donis people...maybe better than ever? We'll let you decide.

As always, THANK YOU for your business and we hope to see you soon!

Breaking Out the Big Boys This Weekend!

We're Tasting The Big Boys on Saturday!
Saturday May 10th, 2014
11am - 8pm
ALL DAY LONG!



Featuring:
2012 Waccamaw Proprietary Red
2010 Darioush "Capataz" Malbec
2012 Mollydooker "Carnival of Love"
2010 Clos Erasmus "Laurel"
2012 Eric Kent Small Town Pinot Noir

Every now and again we like to break out a slew of new arrivals that are some of the biggest and best wines that we can find. No particular varietal or region, just stuff we think you will find absolutely delicious. This Saturday we've got red blends from California, small production "small town" Pinot Noir, a Mollydooker flagship (at an ever so nice price), killer Grenache from one of Charlotte's own and a Syrah blend from France that may or may not rock your world (it did ours).

So maybe your mother / wife needs a nice bottle of wine for her special day. Maybe you all want to come together (heck, bring the kids - we can entertain them!) and taste around this lineup. No matter how you want to play it, we hope we can be part of your wine weekend.

As always, we THANK YOU for your business. We certainly appreciate you allowing us to serve you for almost eight years now. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you and we hope to see you this weekend!

From The Banshee Folks - Maybe the New "It" Wine...

2012 Waccamaw Proprietary Red



Release Price: $24.99
Winestore Price: $19.99
Six Pack Price: $14.99
*
SAVE 40%

*Six pack price only available in store / over the phone orders

Banshee Mordecai dropped onto the scene a few years ago with a HUGE bang, and it appears that the people at Banshee have done it again with what may be the next "it" wine in the under $20 price category.

Waccamaw Proprietary Red is an equal parts blend of Cabernet, Barbera, Touriga, Zinfandel, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. What should a combination like this mean to you? Pure deliciousness is all we can say. This wine is fruit forward and powerful with virtually no harsh tannins at all - making it easy like Sunday morning to drink (we had a bottle last night and can confirm this information).

We'll be tasting it for FREE this Thursday in case you don't believe us, but all we can tell you is that it is "go time", people!

We hope you love it as much as we do!

Zinfandel Tasting Time!

Zinfandel Tasting
Saturday May 3rd, 2014
11am - 8pm
ALL DAY LONG!


http://www.winery-sage.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Zinfandel-Sign.jpg

Feauturing:
2012 Rombauer Zinfandel
2012 Carol Shelton Monga Zinfandel
2012 Leese Fitch Zinfandel
2012 Venge Scout's Honor
2012 Predator Zinfandel
2012 Rockus Bockus
2012 Dry Creek Heritage Zinfandel


If you want to see the greatest Zinfandel commercial ever made you can click HERE :)

Honestly, after watching that commercial, if you don't want to go drink a glass of Zinfandel, I don't even know what to say. I also feel like we should be hanging out with that guy...he seems like the James Bond of wine dudes...

I'm not sure whether or not I should be surprised, but over the last several years Zinfandel and Zinfandel based blends are on a tear. Heck, outside of Belle Glos Meiomi all of our best selling red wines are Zin based. You guys just love the stuff...and for good reason - it is delicious!!

So we're throwing a Zinfandel party this weekend. All super delicious and sexy. So maybe before you head out to the tournament, or after, or both. Perhaps you need a few bottles for your Kentucky Derby Party. Perhaps you just want to drink some kicking red wine this weekend because you are awesome. No matter how you wanna slice it, we hope to see you this weekend.

Happy tasting and we'll see you on Saturday!
