It’s been hot this week. Our first real taste of summer. So, we have some great tastes FOR summer.

Robin from Monsieur Touton will be here tomorrow,
June 22nd from 2pm to 5pm, to show you some cool things.
He will be pouring three wines and an insanely green pistachio liqueur for you:
Les Dauphins Rosé: This grenache blend is a great way to start a meal, either before or with salad or something grilled;
Boissy & Delaygue Viognier: looks and tastes like gold;
Purple Hands Willamette Pinot Noir: a ton of red fruit and light spice. Put this in the fridge for twenty minutes before you want to drink it. A PERFECT summer chillable red. And finally,
Sogno Sorrento Crema Pistachio: No joke. We know. It looks like antifreeze. But you are going to pour this liqueur on everything. We mean ev-er-y-thing.
We’re open from 11a to 8p.

06/18/2024

It’s quite the scene here at the shop.

Single bottles that is. Every bottle in the “singles” boxes are 15% off. We usually reserve that discount for case purchases.

Pinot Grigio. Light! Crisp! Zesty! Dry!
Perfect for warm days—when we have those again🙄—and goes great with seafood starters, light pasta sauces and risottos. And of course, sushi. 🍣 🍱
We have some really good ones.

Have you ever had a Pinot Grigio with something unusual, like popcorn and it was delicious? If you have, comment below!
