How the Grinch Drank Christmas

We've got three different wine clubs to choose from to give away as Christmas presents or get for yourself because really, you deserve it more than any of those so-called 'loved ones' anway, right?  Isn't that what Christmas is all about?     

Each wine club is monthly and there is no minimum amount of months you need to commit to in order to sign-up.  HOWEVER....and yes, this is one of those howevers in capital letters... from this moment until the last day of November '09 (That's this coming Monday the 30th), if you are signing up for the wine club for the first time or are signing someone else up as a gift for the first time and you commit to at least 4 months, you will get your last month free.  Let me now try to rephrase this in a much shorter, more succinct way:

first time clubber + signup by 11/30/09 + at least 4 months = 1 month free. 

That's $50 in fancy, shiny booze FREE. 

Sign-up 50 new wine club members and I'll deliver the damn stuff myself in a santa costume with ACTUAL FLYING REINDEER ALSO DRESSED UP LIKE SANTA CLAUS.

CoWineCo's 2009 Thanksgiving Picks

     Since you're busy trying to figure out how to best fit your cider-brined turkey into that inverted Pilgrim's hat while one kid hangs off one leg and you kick the dog away from the gizzards with the other, why not leave the wine pairings to us?  We're not afraid.  Pelt us with your wildest and weirdest Thanksgiving recipes and we will pair a wine that will make them sing...literally.  It's truly a sight to behold...singing food and all.

RED BUBBLY

This year's #1 pick is a sparkling brut RED pinot noir from Burgundy.  Yup, all the lovely cherry and earthiness of silky pinot in a bubbly package.  This will pair with everything from chestnut and squash-stuffed goose to a Hungry Man Thanksgiving microwave special. 

Parigot & Richard Bourgogne Brut, France - $25.99/btl

ROSE BUBBLY

Bouche Cremant de Limoux Brut, France - $15.99/btl

But Thanksgiving is more than eating, Chuck. You heard what Linus was saying out there. Those early Pilgrims were thankful for what had happened to them, and we should be thankful, too. We should just be thankful for being together. I think that's what they mean by 'Thanksgiving,' Charlie Brown.
