Be Wine,Nylon and Kim Jong-Il, and The Not-So-Terrible 2s

     If you're still in grade school, and we're really hoping you're not if you're reading this newsletter, you're probably pretty nervous this morning getting ready for school, wondering if Becky in aisle 2, seat 1 is going to drop a valentine off at your desk, or skip you again this year. Andeveryonewill see her walk by you and giggle as she dropsthepretty pink construction paperin Brad's valentine shoebox right next to yours.....friggin'Brad.....Italmost seemed like she was taunting me ON PURPOSE. How can she be SO MEAN?     

     Or maybe that was just my experience....who knows....anyway.....Happy Valentine's Day! And Brad and Becky, if you're reading this, I've got abeautiful wife and a wine store now. Ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!! Losers!!!!

Sorry.  Ok, back tobusiness. If you're running to yourValentine'sdinner empty-handed tonight, stop by and graba bubbly, a dry rose, orthis fancy little Prosecco we just got in:

Foss Marai Brut Prosecco, Italy - $17.99/btl

It's pink on the outside, but a clear, brut bubbly on the inside. Oh, and it'ssoft and yummy. Or, for the really adventurous,grab a rich, red bubbly like our Hill of Content Sparkling Shiraz ($13.99/btl) from Australia which will say to any date, "I love you, but I'm a little quirky....and quite possibly dangerous."

Or, if you absolutely hate Valentine's Day and all it stands for, come by for a drink between 4pm and 9pm at our bar and talk to the bartender about your anger issues.

70 years ago today, Wallace H. Caruthers received a patent for Nylon creating the fashion craze that now fills our Goodwills all over the country. If that's not enough to get you out of the house to sip wine,consider the fact that it is also both Ice-T and Kim Jong-Il's Birthdays.I bet they celebrate together every once in awhile just for a laugh.

Sunday Tasting

February 18th

1-4pm

$12/person

4 wines and gourmet cheeses from Auntie Em's Marketplace

Our Sunday tastings will now feature slightly higher-end wine selections. Our Friday tastings get a little too loud to discuss the wines in great detail (we're not complaining), so if wine knowledge is your grail, Sundays are the best tastings for you. Call Sunday for selections.
