Here’s some more information about our Turkey Wine Packs, complete with pretty pictures!  see below for ordering instructions!

PACK #1– “Good Friends” $43

Good friends- we’ve all got ’em!  Got a lot of ’em?  This pack is perfect and an unbeatable value if you need to stock it up/pack it up/pack it in for your feast.  This group of four will have you drinkin’ well for less than $50.

Included:

1 Subirats Cava Rose, NV Spain.  bubbly, fruity and fun, this wine has been at the top of our list of Holiday sparklers for years.  bright red fruits and a zippy finish.  drink it while you cook!!  normal retail $12

1 Loosen Brothers “Dr. L” Riesling, 11 Germany, Mosel.  yet another Cellar go-to wine for years past.  Ernst Loosen really knows what he’s doing with the Loosen Brothers line; the Gewurztraminer and the Pinot Blanc are also amazeballs.  This wine is light, racy, and has a perfect marriage of sweetness and dryness.  normal retail $13

1 Georges Duboeuf Gamay, 10 Beaujolais, Morgon.  like Beaujolais?  I do.  Gamay is one of my all time favorite grapes, hands-down.  It’s extremely expressive, perfect with Fall flavors, easy to drink, difficult to dislike, people-friendly.. the list goes on.  this one is very light and pretty, with notes of fresh sour cherry and dried herbs. normal retail $14

1 Pieza “El Coll” Garnacha, 08 Spain, Calatayud.  we’ve been crushing this wine for a few weeks now, and people can’t seem to get enough of it.  I love it because for an inexpensive Garnacha (of which there are plenty), this one offers a ton of dark, brambly fruit, nice oak and spice, and still finishes clean and with nice acid.  Don’t get much better than that.  normal retail $13

PACK #2- “Great Friends”  $69

Okay, it’s the Holidays, we can all pause for a moment and be thankful for awesome friends!!  or family.  or both!  this pack is a perfect treat for all those you truly appreciate, and will spend the day feasting with.  Or, you could save it all for yourself if you’ll need to be “treated” to get through the day.  Hopefully the former…

Included:

1 Gruet Brut Rose, NV New Mexico.  Ohh, this one is slammin’.  And you’d be wise to get up on this particular bottle ASAP- the folks at Gruet are the bomb, but the demand for this wine exceeds the supply, without fail- every single year.  It really is made in New Mexico, and it’s a lean, mean fightin’ machine, with beautiful crisp red fruit and beautiful floral notes. normal retail $16

1 Mar de Frades Albarino, 11 Spain, Rias Baixas. this stuff is TO DIE!  by far the prettiest, silkiest Albarino I’ve had all year.  A nice touch of tropical fruit is met with the characteristic bright citrus Albarino tends to display.  It’s like an Albarino… made by Chuck Norris. normal retail $22

1 Morgan “Twelve Clones” Pinot Noir, 10 California, Santa Lucia.  we got a nice surprise yesterday, when *after* we’d decided to put this wine in this pack, it got named to Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2012!  We opened one for this past Saturday’s wine sale, and it went over verrrry well!  it’s everything a Cali Pinot should be; ripe, round and fruit-driven but with fantastic accents of vanilla and spice.  This is one you’ll wanna keep drinking.  normal retail $25.

1 Giant Wine Company “The Ghost of 413” Cab/Merlot/Syrah blend, 09 Washington, Columbia Valley.  a slick little bottle, this wine is very new to South Carolina and packs classic Columbia Valley dark fruit and an uuber-smooth palate.  90% Cab/10% Merlot & Syrah.      very drinkable and not weighed down.  normal retail $19.

PACK #3: Reserve  $175

Alright, so since we’re big ol’ nerds AND we like to sell wine, we HAD to offer a Reserve level pack.  The cool thing is- these bottles would cost you $220 individually, so truth be told, $175 is a total steal even though it’s no small amount of money.

Included (limited quantity):

1 Ruinart Brut Rose, NV Champagne.  sexiest. Champagne. ever.  don’t have to say much else.  you’re missing out on a crucial delicious element of life if you’ve never had this.  you’ll never be the same.  normal retail $80.

1 St. Urbans-Hof Riesling, 10 Germany, Mosel, Bockstein Vineyard.  so, once again- I’m a hardcore Riesling fan, but this one will really open your eyes as to how much depth a Riesling can have.  the soil really shines here, bringing about a really cool element of smoke and slate, met with creamy peaches, elderflower, roses and violets.  normal retail $24

1 Patricia Green Cellars Pinot Noir, 10 Willamette, Balcombe Vineyard.  a teensy-weensy little 7-acre vineyard site produced just 475 cases of this wine.  Patricia Green Cellars are classic Willamette winemakers; a non-interventionalist approach makes for pure, pristine Oregon fruit with aging potential.  deep flavors of plum and coffee are found amongst feminine red fruits.  normal retail $46.

1 Chateau de St. Cosme Cote Rotie, 10 France, Cotes du Rhone.  100% Syrah from suuuper old vines.  a powerful wine with flavors of bacon, smoke, graphite, black pepper, violets, and smoky ash.  only the Rhone could make this wine!  It’s sibling, the 2010 Gigondas, was just named the #2 Wine of the Year by Wine Spectator!  92 Points Parker, 94 Points International Wine Cellar!  normal retail $70.
