You can’t beat an old favorite! This week we have three great bottles, old favorites from tastings past, that we’re bringing back into the limelight. With 20% off Italian and French wines and 25% off International Reserve Wines, it’s only fitting that we break out a few of our favorites from these regions.
Neither fruit forward nor savory, it has moderate tannins and a smooth, delicious finish. Come give these beauties a try and watch us try to contain our excitement over the impending move.

Finally Veramonte’s Red Blend from the rock-star wine maker Agustin Huneeus is a killer deal. Syrah, Cab Sauv, Carmenere, Merlot and other varietals combine with Chile’s signature smoky mineral soil to offer a ripe fruit bowl of a wine with an obvious and oaky nod toward Napa. With food or by itself this is a stellar bottle of red under $10.

This week we’re featuring a couple of whites that have that summer porch vibe, when wine is in a juice glass and not stemware. On top of that is an ultra-plush and pleasing Malbec/Cab blend up to 50% off!
First up is Shannon Ridge Sauv Blanc, California through and through, this wine absolutely bursts with a nose of ripe white peach flesh, zested lemon and sun-warmed grass, the palate delivers all this and more, with hints of jasmine and lightning acidity. The last vintage was a Wine Enthusiast Best Buy, and this one is even better! Next up is Erste-Neue Muller Thurgau, an over-the-top refreshing bottle of white with a palate of green grape, raw almonds and slate minerality. Finally Ca’ de Calle Red Blend from Mendoza combines the best of Cab Sauv, Malbec and a touch of Petit Verdot. This wine is rich with plum, cassis, black cherry and silky-soft tannins with a touch of French oak to add depth and structure — plus, it’s is on sale this week, but even at full price is a steal.
Ca’ de Calle Red Blend – Normal Price $21.99
Buy 3 Bottles- 30% Off
Buy 6 Bottles – 40% Off
Buy 12 Bottles – 50% Off
Cheers, Cheers, Cheers!

What’s black and white and red inside? …This week’s selection of wines!
This Iron Curtain of red wines will surely fall if we each take up arms (wine glasses), and do our part (drink some wine).
In all seriousness it is with a raised glass and a hearty toast we send off the Hunt for Reds in October, not with a whimper but with a bang for your buck.
Every single bottle from this month’s varied and ongoing selection will be on sale again until October 31st.
This isn’t a trick, just a treat from us to you, thank you for your support for the first annual Hunt for Reds in October. And don’t forget to stop in for one last amazing all red tasting, Thursday and Friday from 4 to 7pm.
Cheers!
In Soviet Russia, joke tells you!…Ok we’re no Yakov Smirnoff. However, we do command a Red Army thousands of bottles strong, and we might be letting it go to our heads. Seriously, if this line up leaves you seeing red, you’re probably just looking through your full glass of garnet goodness.
Just look at what a doozy of a tasting we have this week. How would you like to try a rich smooth Priorat under $20, a Spanish blend aged in ex Pappy Van Winkle barrels, and a 94 PT Cotes du Roussillon from this quarter’s Collector Cub?
Those aren’t even all the bottles we’re opening this week, heck, even all the bottles in this picture aren’t all the bottles we’re opening, so if you like the promise of stellar wine with a chance of surprise this is your lucky tasting.
Join us Thursday and Friday from 4 to 7pm and see for yourself…
Cheers!
