A WORD ABOUT OUR PRESALES & SPECIAL OFFERS LIST

Since launching our long-overdue website at the end of 2008, we’ve created a Presales & Special Offers mailing list for our customers. For every lot of wine that we buy for our own inventory at the shop, we end up passing on many other great wines that are available from our wholesale suppliers. The Presale & Special Offers list is our way of passing along opportunities for purchasing new vintages from great producers at a deeply discounted prices, as well as offering one-time-only discounts on great wines that might never make it to our shelves ordinarily. While the current economic situation has put a stress on many of our pocketbooks, the corollary to this is that it’s a great time for the wine consumer for finding fantastic values. In the coming weeks and months ahead, we anticipate being able to make some great offers on wines from top producers and stand-out vintages at drastically reduced prices. We’ve often bemoaned the steady creep of prices on imported wines over the past few years, but now it seems as if the ball is now in the consumer’s court, so to speak, with importers’ warehouses weighed-down by inventories of great wines that need to move to make way for the new vintages. Whether you’re looking to start building a cellar on the cheap or simply drink like a king on a pauper’s budget, the time has never been better to join our Presales & Special Offers mailing list (a sign-up link as located at the bottom of the page).
