do a free tasting with these beauties when they arrived, if for no other
reason than we wanted to make sure as many of you get to try these
wines as possible. So bazinga, there you have it - 2pm to 4pm this
coming Saturday you can get your Cabernet on and drink some fun juice.
Not to mention the fact that having a free tasting opens up some spots
on the tasting machine to put up some gems (wink wink nod nod).
So short and sweet today folks. We hope to see you on Saturday!!!

Soooo...the winner of the 2014 Silver Oak
Blind Tasting, 2011 Katherine Goldschmidt has finally arrived (it got
held up a bit because of the weather). So if you have pre-ordered the
wine we are probably calling you right now! For those of you that did
not get in on the feeding frenzy, we were able to add an extra pallet of
wine to our order so we have another 56 cases to go around.
That brings us to our second arrival of the day - another 56 cases of
2011 Hilary Goldschmidt Cabernet (remember, the Opus One wine?). Now, we
were told the last drop we had the first week of January was it, it was
all gone. Yet we still have people come in every week looking for more.
Well, the winery called and said they could add 56 more cases to this
order. Even though our last drop was a "thank you for you business",
what was this one? Where did it come from? Did another distributor not
take theirs? Well, my grandmother taught me to never look a gift horse
in the mouth, or as I later heard the literal translation is "A given
horse's teeth are not inspected." Yeah. So we just took the wine. Is
this all of this vintage. Supposedly so...and we're not going to temp
fate again. So into the wine closet goes a case.
If you haven't been riding the Goldschmidt train then you are missing
out. Good news is we will also be tasting these wines for free this
weekend (more on that tomorrow). For now, the chum is in the water and
the sharks are circling. Let the feeding frenzy begin.

2012 Ca' Momi Rosso di Napa
Winery Price: $18.00 (Click HERE to see)
Winestore Price: $9.99
SAVE 44%
SAVE AN ADDITIONAL 10% IN A MIXED CASE!
So, one of our wine reps pops in a few
weeks ago, and is all "This wine is an amazing value!!" If we had a
penny for each time we heard that, we'd have exactly 1.367 million
pennies.(Yes, we are keeping count) And it's from a winery called Ca'
Momi...never heard of it.
Low and behold, even coming in with zero expectations, this little gem
really blew us away. Maybe it is that Cabernet and Zin blends really
appeal to us (this one also has some Merlot and Petite Sirah). Our best
selling wine is a blend of, you guessed it, Cabernet and Zin. Maybe it
is just that the wine is delicious and sub $10, which is right in our
kill zone. Maybe we have no idea what we are talking about- you'll have
to decide that for yourself!
All that said, we present you with this field blend from the scrumptious
2012 vintage, for less than $10. We're pretty sure we saw Lord Grantham
popping the cork on this recently on Downton Abbey... so they have that
going for them (before you call us to confirm, this was a joke).
So swing on by to taste- yes we will have it on the machines at all three stores! We hope you love it as much as we do!

The Wine Olympics
BLIND TASTING
Saturday February 22nd
11am - 8pm
Blind taste wines from the following countries!
FRANCE
UNITED STATES
SPAIN
AUSTRALIA
So it is the Olympics and all, and they only happen every four years, so
we have to do something, right? It would be wrong to just let it pass.
So we decided to put on our own version of the Wine Winter Olympics. NBC
may or may not be covering the event - we're still in negotiations for
the TV rights. You know how these things go....
So here is how it works. We'll have eight wines blind on the tasting
machines. Two wines from each country. They will be in no particular
order. You go through and taste all eight. At the end of your tasting
you vote for your favorite wine. At the end of the day we will add up
all the votes and next week present you with a Gold, Silver and Bronze
medal winner. We'll also, as we are known to do, probably put together
some amazing deals on the winners. You know, like an endorsement deal
for them.
Added bonus to the Wine Olympics...our accommodations may be nicer than
Sochi and you don't have to fly all the way to mother Russia. So swing
on by this weekend, taste some great wine, perhaps have a little fun,
and hang out with us. There may be a chance we will have a speed skating
rink built inside the store for fun, but we're not sure our lawyers
will let us do it...something about liability or something.
See you this Saturday!
2013 Gramona Gessami
Release Price: $19.99 (Click HERE to see)
Winestore Price: $14.99
SALE Price: $12.99 (net)
SAVE 35%
SALE RUNS WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 19th - SUNDAY FEBRUARY 23rd, 2014
Given it is going to be 72 degrees outside, we have decided to go ahead
and throw out our first white wine offering of the year - and it is a
doozie.
One of the coolest wines you've never heard of, the Gramona Gessami
bottling is a lip-smackingly dry blend of Sauvignon Blanc,
Gewurztraminer and Moscatel. Gramona is the best cava producer, period,
but it turns out they can make lovely still wine too. We have been
drinking this stuff for years, but it suffers a bit of an identity
crisis. The bottle, the Gessami is in, is as tall as they come and
people automatically assume the wine is going to be sweet, and tend to
stay away. So we are here to tell you - ignore the crazy tall bottle and
just trust us. If you love Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc (or even
Conundrum) this is a must try. Also, as an added bonus, the label is in
braille so should you find yourself searching your wine cabinet in a
power outage you are guaranteed to find the right bottle.
We'll have this little gem up on the machines at all 3 stores for you to
try through Sunday. We think you will love it as much as we do!!

2010 Darioush "Capataz" Malbec
Release Price: $49.99
Winestore Price: $39.99 (net)
SAVE 20%
LOWEST PRICE IN THE USA
All three stores will be closed today so we can go play in the snow, but that does not mean we can't offer you a deal!
Also - snow weather special! First person to e-mail us a picture
of our logo created in the snow gets a bottle of Capataz on the house!
You can e-mail your entry HERE.
Back in early January we decided we needed to carry a nicer Malbec for
all you Malbec enthusiasts out there. After much searching we decided on
Darioush Capataz Malbec. We picked up the rest of the 2009 vintage our
distributor had in stock and without even sending out a newsletter, you
guys bought up our entire stock in just one week. Message received...you
want more Capataz.
The Malbec grape has generally only proven interesting in the elevated
foothills of the Argentine Andes, and Napa winemaker Darioush Khaledi
has a knack for turning interesting into amazing. This is the first non
Napa wine that Darioush has crafted, and he has only rolled out a measly
400 six packs. Hailing from the Tupungato region of Mendoza, this wine
is all about power and plushness.
So here is the 2010 Capataz for you, just arrived in time for the storm
and ready to roll! If big, intense and powerful Malbec is right in your
wheelhouse....you're gonna need you some of this!

2011 Whitehall Lane Tre Leoni
Winery Price: $23.99
Winestore Price: $19.99 (net)
SAVE 17%
This wine was a "sleeper" hit of 2013. It basically was on cruise
control and sold like crazy, without any of us really giving it the push
it so clearly deserved. So due to our "support" of this wine last year,
in comes a better price for this year. Now that this wine has fallen
below $20 retail (last year price was $23.99) we have to say that this
is some insane value. No, it's not $5 or something like that, but in the
middle of a snowstorm curled up next to the fire this is a home run!
Whitehall Lane has long been one of the most well respected producers in
Napa Valley. So here you have one of Napa Valley's most consistent and
well respected producers offering a delightful blend of Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Why this blend? Because if delicious fruit
is good, a lot of delicious fruit just has to be better!
We'll have this gem up on the machine at all three stores for you to
taste, and we feel pretty confident you'll love it as much as we do!
We need to get this wine in a blind tasting asap!

2005 Laurel Glen Cabernet
Winestore Price: $59.99 (net)
If you think California Cabernet is most
exciting when it combines the state’s lush fruit with grace, balance and
even mineral notes, you might already be a fan of Laurel Glen
Cabernets, grown in a remarkable place called Sonoma Mountain. The
elevation, angle and aspect are such that Laurel Glen’s vineyard sees
more hours of sunshine than most, but less direct heat and baking sun
than other comparable spots amongst California’s favored Cabernet
vineyards. These are all VERY good things.
You probably know Laurel Glen, I mean we gush over this wine time and
time again. Heck, we even had the owner here last year pouring the 1992
Laurel Glen for you at one of our best tastings of the year. So now I
can tell you that we have a sweetheart offer for you directly from the
wonderful people at Laurel Glen.
As a thank you to the wonderful customers at winestore. for their
support, they have released to you 40 six packs of 2005 Laurel Glen
Estate Cabernet. That's right. 9 year old California Cabernet aged at
the winery and delivered to you in perfect condition. Folks, I can count
the number of times something like this happens on one hand.
So here is your chance, just in time for Valentine's Day (yes, it is
next week people!) to grab a California legend, from a legendary vintage
at a consumer friendly price for such a treasure.
We only get 40 six packs but we hope you enjoy them as much as we do - we're taking a bottle home tonight!
