Welcome to this week's winewire, keeping you up to date on the exceptional values in our wine portfolio and our complimentary Saturday tastings.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and we have the perfect wines for your festivities! See below for our great selection of Thanksgiving wines!
Can't make it to our store on Saturday because of errands, soccer matches or swim meets? We're OPEN EVERY SUNDAY from noon to six to help you find the best wines.
Don't agonize over what to serve to your guests when we've done the homework for you! Our Thanksgiving wines will help you navigate the most challenging wine pairing event of the year. From classic combinations to exciting matches for the more adventurous, here you'll find the right wine to complement the cranberry sauce, candied yams, pumpkin pie, or the Turducken! Well, maybe not the Turducken.

Only 191 cases made by cult Washington winemaker and Syrah aficionado Charles Smith -- try it to believe it!

A full (not half) bottle of beautiful Sauternes at this price is a must.
Just Landed: Many NEW Arrivals!
We'll never be satisfied.
We are always on the lookout for the next great find. We scour various wine publications and talk to wineries, importers and suppliers for leads - and then the really hard work begins: we taste wines with ratings of 85 to 100, selecting only the best for the honor of a place on our shelves - and ultimately in your glass.
This is the free and fun way to discover new wines. You get 10% off the wines that we taste when you buy them during the tasting.
Join us tomorrow Saturday, November 21, from 1-5pm, to taste Wines for Thanksgiving! We'll start of with a Grand Cru rose Champagne that should knock your socks off as well as those of any finicky guests. Then it's time for one of the best Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs we've tasted in some time -- if you like Oregon Pinot, you are going to love this one. Soon after we'll pour a wine we've all come to cherish simply as "Flavium," and you'll quickly realize why this is one of the best values in the store. We conclude with a powerhouse French-styled Malbec from Argentina that defines over-delivering! At least one of these will surely make it on your table next Thursday.

Grand Cru, rose Champagne of this caliber often costs twice this much, but Sacy is a bit of a market aberration. Forget the economics; taste it, fall in love, and imagine this on your table, shared with family and friends. It's sure to impress!

A true gem from a small producer, this limited production release is hard to find and even harder to beat! We have yet to encounter a Pinot lover who didn't admire this wine. Soft, silky and ruby red, yet full flavored and persistent. It's tough to have just one glass...

In Bierzo, in the northwest Spanish region of Galicia, Mencia reigns supreme as the red grape. Imagine, if you will, a cross of sorts between Pinot Noir and Syrah with soft, ripe fruit that's mature and elegant. The price? Laughable!

Limited in production and quite difficult to find, this show-stopper retails for $35+ when available. At today's price, you'll enjoy an almost ridiculous value in full-throttle, French inspired Malbec from Argentina that might leave you rather speechless.
