2013 Whispering Angel
2013 Whispering Angel Rosé
Winestore Price: $17.99 (net)
It's getting hot...and humid...and in my house that means we drink more rosé. Why? Because it is a refreshing food friendly beverage that will delight on a hot summer day.
Now we sell all sorts of dry rosé, but there is one
Rosé of the moment right now that is sweeping the nation like wildfire -
and it's called Whispering Angel. There are all sorts of stories flying
around - helicopter rides back into NYC from the Hamptons because there
is none to be found on Long Island; long lines in Miami at liquor
stores before stores even open to grab what product they have coming in
for the weekend. It's basically like THIS scene during the height of the Cabbage Patch craze. (Seriously the video in that link is amazing - you will want to watch it)
No doubt the wine is pretty delicious, hence the reason we are bringing
it to you today. Worth of all the hype? We'll let you decide. Know this
though - will do not accept bribes and we will not tolerate customers
getting in fisticuffs over a bottle of wine :)
Come on in and see what all the fuss is about!

They
say that men are better than woman at math, but then the people who
usually say that are men. Go figure. When it's comes to figuring, we're
told that men are better with numbers, with figures (I feel a pun coming
on but I'm going to back away quietly from that one), that there is
something about the certitude of numerical depiction that appeals to a
man. Or maybe that men are just obsessed with numbers: .300 batting
averages, 50 quarterback ratings, triple doubles or maybe even a 5
handicap.
Maybe this is why the 100-point system appeals to so many men. Despite
the inherent ambiguity of wine (it changes, some people like certain
styles more than others), there is something so reassuring about knowing
that the god of wine has assigned it a number and now you know that
your cellar has thirty 95 point wines and above (and that you still
don't have a 100 point wine notched on your bedpost, I mean gun).
Fret not, gentlemen, numbers mean nothing! Taste is everything (like the
beer commercial says); so why not enjoy Father's Day weekend tasting
some of the most delicious wines any father (or son of a father) could
hope to taste?
So this weekend we're rolling out the big dogs of the world of winedom.
Italian cult wine Montevetrano - check. Cabernet powerhouse Caymus -
check. 1st Growth Bordeaux dead ringer Laurel Glen - double check. It's
like a who's who of wine superstars, all rolled out on our tasting
machines for your drinking pleasure.
Best of all, the wines we're tasting this weekend for Father's Day are
worth many, many points. How many points? Well, that's up to you. You're
the numbers man.
Happy Tasting and we'll see you Saturday!
2012 Tantara Santa Barbara Pinot
2012 Tantara Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir
Winestore Price: $24.99
Many of you may remember the T. Solomon Wellborn Pinot Noir from a few
years ago - you know, the Tantara Pinot Noir that was priced at $25 that
we sold like crazy. Then Tantara stopped making the wine. Needless to
say that was no bueno.
All of a sudden we are informed that while T. Solomon is still no longer in existence, Tantara is taking the EXACT SAME JUICE
and bottling under a new label for them - Tantara Santa Barbara County
Pinot Noir. Probably a good move on their part as it helps build the
Tantara brand vs. T. Solomon which was just a cool label with Tantara
nowhere except on the cork....and yes, this is still a blend of barrels
that don't make the cut for their single vineyard bottlings (which are
priced at not so friendly prices of $50 and up).
So, we are back in the Tantara game - and of course this stuff is as
delicious as ever. If you were a T. Solomon Wellborn fan or you just are
a fan of great $25 and under Pinot Noir, this is right in your
killzone.

Saturday June 7th, 2014
11am -8pm
ALL DAY LONG
Featuring:
2012 Banshee Mordecai
2011 Banshee Cabernet
2012 Banshee Pinot Noir
2013 Banshee Pinot Noir Rosé
2012 Waccamaw Proprietary Red
2013 Waccamaw Chardonnay
2012 Banshee Chardonnay
'Tis true. We love all things Banshee...and that is why we have decided
to taste all things Banshee on the machines this weekend.
We will obviously have the staples like Mordecai, some fun wines we
don't always carry like the Pinot Noir and a dry Pinot Noir rosé that
we're pretty sure is going to rock your world. If this heat continues
through the weekend we're gonna need a lot of rosé people!
It also just so happens that our Blakeney store turns 5 years old today.
We sincerely appreciate all of the support you have given us in south
Charlotte over the last 5 years - so here is a big THANK YOU to all of
our customers. You guys are really awesome people.
So we hope to see you this Saturday! Happy Tasting!
2013 Waccamaw Chardonnay
Release Price: $24.99
Winestore Price: $14.99
Six Pack Price: $12.99 per bottle*
SAVE 50%
*Six pack price only available in store / over the phone orders
More wine from your friends at Banshee. You most likely by now have had
yourself a bottle of Waccamaw Proprietary Red, and if sales are any
indication you guys are absolutely loving it. Once we found out they
made a Chardonnay as well (and had the opportunity to taste this little
gem) we pounced like a cheetah and bought all we could get our hands on.
This Chardonnay embodies everything we look for in the Californian
version of this varietal. Some butter, some oak - but nothing too over
the top or pronounced. Perfect harmony so it can pair well with food, or
with just sitting on our back deck and soaking up some rays.
Given the gigantic chunk we bought of this wine, we also are able to
offer it to you at a pretty insane price. While we will have this wine
available to taste at all 3 stores for FREE all day today, we will have
it on the machine all week for you to take a test drive. We're pretty
sure this may become your new house Chardonnay....it sure is ours.

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!
