December 22 - Odd Bins! ~~ Help us finish off some great wines!!

Do you love wine? Well – we buy a lot (understatement) of great wines from all across Italy and all along the west coast of North America. Petra, Tommy, and I just did an inventory of our wine cellar — and we have lots of wine where we have just one or two bottles left. With just one or two bottles, we really can’t place them on our wine list – so now is the time to finish them off. And we need your help! So on this evening (and Wednesday, December 28 also) we will be opening many-many bottles and offering fun eclectic tasting flights at bargain prices. Here’s how it works: From 5pm to closing we will have a large selection of wines available in tasting pours. Some of the 3oz pours are just $2! We also have a couple surprise “high-end” wines that we decided to include to spice things up! If you like wine – you can’t miss this. ~~ Contact us for more details of just stop in!
