2010 Clos Erasmus "Laurel" - Last Call!
2010 Clos Erasmus "Laurel"
Winestore Price: $49.99 per bottle
Today Only Price: $39.99* (net) per bottle
SAVE 20%
*Lowest Price in the USA
*Only 150 bottles available
We just got our last pop of 2010 Clos
Erasmus "Laurel", and to close out what has been an insane month, we are
going to offer it to you at the lowest price anywhere, today only.
Charlotte residents are lucky that Daphne Glorian Solomon, one of the
worlds best winemakers, makes her home here in Charlotte. It gives us
access to some seriously great wines at some seriously great prices (Go
Queen City!) Her flagship wine, Clos Erasmus, is known around the globe
as one of the benchmarks for Spanish wine (if not just incredible wine
in general).
That said, she also makes a second label called "Laurel". Laurel, to
those of us who love this wine, is essentially a baby Clos Erasmus. Why?
It is a straight declassification of Clos Erasmus, meaning you're
essentially getting the juice that did not "make the cut" for the big
boy. That's called wine value people! The
2010 Laurel we're offering you today should offer you the best possible
explanation of what Daphne does with wine that is so incomparable and
indescribable.
Ready, set, go...

2011 Bodegas El Nido "Clio"

As this weekend is Charlotte Wine and Food
Weekend, headlined by our very own Doug Frost, we thought we would do a
little celebrating with an epic lineup of wines to taste this
Saturday....oh, and it's totally free.
We'll have a litlte something for everyone (even a nice dry rosé to
start with). So come on out and enjoy a beautiful Saturday with some
awesome wine!
2009 Marcucci Fava Brothers Zinfandel
Winery Price: $28.00 (Click HERE to see)
Winestore Price: $14.99 (net)
SAVE 46%
Only 26 cases available
What if I told you I could sell you 100% Single Vineyard Zinfandel from
the Russian River Valley for only $14.99? You probably would not believe
me...but 'tis true. I have 2009 Marcucci Farms Fava Brothers Vineyard
Zinfandel available for you at $14.99 (net).
To be honest, I had never heard of Marcucci Farms or Fava Brothers
Vineyard until last week....but I am loving them now. They've apparently
been on the farming scene since the early 20th Century, which is all
well and good, but how are the wines? We tasted this little gem and when
we were notified of the "take it all" price for only 30 cases of wine
we jumped all over it. We threw it on the tasting machine last weekend
and 4 cases went right out the door (hence the reason there are only 26
cases left).
So if you are into big and bold red Zinfandel, this is for you. 15 bones
for some ridiculous wine that is certain to pair well with burgers on
the grill this weekend...just sayin'.

2011 Clio Is Here!
Winestore Price: $39.99 (net)
40 six packs available
70% Monastrell / 30% Cabernet Sauvignon
So, we were planning on doing a special
Rhone deal today and then 40 six packs of Clio showed up at our door. So
obviously we have to send that information out!
Many of you know this wine - it is easily one of the most popular wines
we have ever sold, year in and year out. Our distributor for this wine,
which is becoming a behemoth on the east coast, apparently got some more
wine from Bodegas El Nido for being so powerful and paying their bills
on time. I guess that is how it goes in the distributor game. Pay your
bills - get more goodies.
So just in time to enjoy with some friends and family this weekend, your Clio is here!

Rhone Extravaganza!
Saturday April 19th, 2014
11am - 8pm
ALL DAY LONG!
Featuring:
2011 Marcoux Vieilles Vignes
2012 Marcoux Cotes du Rhone
2012 Pesquie Terrasses
2012 Lafage Bastide Miraflors
2012 Moillard Les Violettes
2011 Lafage Tessellae GSM
2011 Perrin Cotes du Rhone Villages
2010 Donelan Cuvee Christine
2012 Belle Provencale
2012 Lafage Cote Est
2010 Clos D'Agon Blanco
The Moillard Cotes du Rhone e-mail special we are running got us
thinking. We haven't done a focused Rhone varietal tasting in a long
time. I mean, we all love Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Marsanne Roussanne
and every other grape variety that makes loving Rhone so right. We'll
even be offering another insane deal in an e-mail tomorrow to start the
weekend off right!
So this weekend we're breaking out Rhone Rangers from all over the world
- of course we have the Chateauneuf du Pape, we've got a California
powerhouse, we've got the Perrin family from Beaucastel, we've got a
white Chateauneuf ringer from Spain...we've got everything for those of
you who, like us, are obsessed with all things Rhone.
We'll also be covering all price ranges - from $9.99 to $159.99 - so if
you're having family in this weekend you can allocate dollars
accordingly based on how well they've been treating you :)
We hope you can swing by and taste with us this weekend. We'll hopefully
have the doors open (anyone else sick of switching between the AC and
the Heat?) and the vino will be flowing!
We'll see you this weekend!
2012 Moillard "Les Violettes"
Release Price: $14.99 (Click HERE to see)

Save an additonal 10% in a mixed case!
Can we speak for a minute about bottle shapes and sizes? Most wines come
in a standard Burgundy or Bordeaux bottles (the skinny ones or the fat
ones) and for good reason...wines in odd shaped bottles are a pain in
the rear end. They cost more to ship, they cost more to label, they cost
more to produce - they usually are nothing but trouble. That is why
when I see a bottle of wine in some odd shaped glass, I know the person
in charge is serious about their vino. It just takes a little more TLC.
So when someone dropped this wine off, and told us the price, we were
intrigued. 10 bones and in a weird looking bottle? How could this be?
After the first taste it was go time - we ordered it last Friday and
without even sending out a newsletter, all three stores sold out of
their initial drop. We knew we were onto something.
This wine, mostly Grenache with a chunk of Syrah and some Mourvedre, is a
product of a well-known Burgundian negociant. It is soft and
immediately drinkable; indeed, it drinks best at a certain velocity, if
you catch our drift. There is nothing not to like. The bottle is
awesome, the price is right and the juice is loose (sorry, but we had
to...)
So let's celebrate spring break like it's 1996 with some much better libations.

2013 Butter Chardonnay
Regular Price: $18.99
Winestore Price: $14.99 (net)
SAVE 21%
It's back in action - and we're pretty sure you don't need us to tell
you what kind of Chardonnay this is - the name says it all :)
Folks, you have been asking about when this is going to be back in stock
like 30 times a day for the last eight weeks. The truck has finally
arrived and the wine is ready to roll!
Last year, week after week we had customers ask if we could deliver them
some Butter Chardonnay at a winestore style price. So naturally we hit
the streets and secured oodles of Butter Chardonnay at the ever so
friendly price of $14.99 (net) per bottle. It went bonkers, although the
winery had a bit of a supply hiccup over the last 2 months.
So short and sweet today folks - we're gonna have to say this wine pairs pretty well with the current weather situation!

California Chardonnay Taste Off
Featuring Kistler, Rombauer, Butter, Trefethen and more!
Saturday April 12th, 2014
11am-8pm
Featuring:
2012 Rombauer Chardonnay
2012 Kistler Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay
2012 Butter Chardonnay
2012 Trefethen Harmony Chardonnay (New Vintage!)
2012 Ventana Chardonnay
2012 Binigrau Nounat
2012 Novellum Chardonnay
2012 Wente "Morning Fog" Chardonnay
With the deal we are running on the
Nounat, along with the return of Butter tomorrow (yes, you read that
correctly), and the fact that it is going to be 80 degrees on Saturday,
we decided it was time to break out the Chardonnay. Chardonnay is the
most popular variety among U.S. wine drinkers. That, rather obvious,
fact is all too often ignored by wine geeks who love to smirk about
their latest “ABC” infatuation. “Anything but Chardonnay” may describe
the interest level of many jaded wine aficionados, but it doesn’t speak
to most wine drinkers. For most, Chardonnay is plenty tasty, and good
values abound. Of all those Chardonnay lovers out there, it is the rich
and buttery Chardonnay - the character that defines California - that
gets people really excited.
Sooo....we'll line all the wines up on the machine this Saturday and let
the grading begin. Each taster will be able to rate the wines 1-8 (1
being their favorite) and we will release the results next week (with
perhaps a deal on the winning Chardonnay)
If you are like us and love a great Cali Chard, then be sure to stop in on Saturday!
See you Saturday and Happy Tasting!
2012 Binigrau Nounat
Release Price: $36.00 (Click HERE to see)
Winestore SALE Price: $14.99 (net)
SAVE 58%
So way back when we offered this super
tasty white wine to you and you guys fell in love. We kept going back to
the well for more and after a bit we thought, "Geez, they seem to have a
ton of this stuff...."
After a little digging we realized people are not walking into their
local restaurant and ordering / asking for Chardonnay from Mallorca
(Yes, Mallorca
- that small little Mediterranean island best known as a European
holiday destination may be producing the best Chardonnay you have never
heard of...). You guys have the benefit of tasting this little beauty on
the machine to see what all the fuss is about, giving you the inside
track.
So cue the negotiating process where we could buy all they had at some
ridiculous bargain. After some tough negotiating and a little bit of
name calling, a deal was struck and voila...ridiculous wine at an even
more ridiculous price.
Best part is the Nounat is not even 100% Chardonnay. It is an equal
parts blend of Prensal Blanc and Chardonnay - because if you're gonna
produce some rocking white wine from the ancient island of Mallorca, you
need to at least throw in one indigenous varietal for good measure.
We'll have the wine on the machine to taste at all three stores - but
don't dawdle, we were only able to nab 60 cases for all three stores.

ALL DAY LONG!
FEATURING:
2013 Lafage Miraflors Rosé
2013 Bieler Pere et Fils Rosé
2013 Pesquie Rosé
2013 Domaine de la Janasse VDP Rosé
The pollen is flying, we're hitting 80 degrees during the day, and the rosé has arrived. No better way to welcome Spring than lining up our rosé selection on the machines and letting you do a little day drinking.
While we will have a smattering of other rosé wines land this season, including a new favorite from Liquid Farm in Santa Barbara, these
will be our staples. Inexpensive (all under $15 retail), delicious (you
are allowed to drink the whole bottle yourself), and refreshing (it's
probably better for you than water!).
So go ahead and take a walk with the family, play a round of golf, meet
some friends for brunch, or do whatever it is your Saturday plan entails
(ours is serving you some rocking rosé) and then swing by to see us! These wines are guaranteed to put you in the springtime mood.
50% chance we might also break out some beach music....just because.

The largest breakout wine of 2013 was the 2012 Lafage Miraflors Rosé. The entire State of NC went absolutely bonkers for this wine, and for good reason - the wine in insanely good.
Last year we laid it down on the line with this wine. We warned you that if you loved dry rosé during the warmer months, and you do not buy a case of this stuff to sip on
all summer long, you might be out of your mind. Even better, this year
we brought in some magnums...because bigger in this case is necessarily
better. The 2013 Lafage Miraflors Rosé, much like the 2012, is a game changer in our opinion. Dry rosé
is the flavor of the moment, and southern France is the style’s
birthplace and homeland. A refreshing blend of Mourvedre and Grenache
Gris, this lovely lady is more complex than most any dry rosé you’ve ever had....
We have it to taste at all three stores but don't dawdle...it won't last long.
