On Friday, July 20th, from 1pm-6pm, we’ll be tasting a couple of new additions to our inventory:

2011 Barnard Griffin Fume Blanc, from the Columbia Valley of Washington State.

2008 Beni di Batasiolo Barbera d’Alba, from Piedmont, Italy. We have this On Special right now, and will do so until it is gone. Normally: $17.99/bottle, it has taken a “Step Down” in price to $9.99/bottle, while quantities last! (We’re calling this a “Step Down,” as the wine is located on the first set of steps, just inside the front door.) This isn’t our only item with a lower price tag, as we have several other specially-priced items around the store. We will strive to offer you such values in the future as well, so take a look around each time you come in to Wines Off Wynkoop, as these offers will change from time-to-time.

We hope you are staying cool in this hot weather, and wish you an enjoyable and relaxing weekend!

From 1pm-6pm on Friday, July 13th, we’ll be tasting the 2011 Piantaferro Falanghina, from the Campania region of Italy (north of Naples), and the 2011 Chateau Des Chapelains Clairet, from Bordeaux, France. This wine is sort of a hybrid in the Bordeaux region, somewhere between a rose and a red, as it spends more time on the skins than a rose, but less time than a red. Some people prefer to drink it cold, while other like it best at room temperature, but either way, it’s a versatile wine for the warmer summer days. Wines will be discounted during the tasting as well!

We are also running a special right now on a couple of bottles of wine from Argentina. We have both the Las Lajas Malbec, as well as the Las Lajas Torrontes. We brought in the Malbec fairly recently and it’s been quite popular, so we thought we’d add the Torrontes to the line-up too. Individually, they are priced at $8.99/bottle, but if you buy at least 2-bottles of either one (feel free to mix-and-match), it brings the bottle cost down to $7.99/bottle! So, you can buy 2-bottles of Las Lajas Malbec, or 2-bottles of Las Lajas Torrontes, or 1-bottle of each to get the discounted pricing of $7.99/bottle. You can certainly buy more than 2-bottles of Las Lajas and the discount will apply. (This offer can not be combined with other discounts.)

We have added numerous selections to inventory this week, including the 2-wines that we’ll be tasting tomorrow. We’ve also added another French rose, a Sancerre, from the Loire Valley of France, a value-priced red blend from Montsant, Spain, and several others. In addition, we’ve also added a couple of new beer selections, including the Stone Smoked Vanilla Bean Porter, and Firestone Walker’s Wookey Jack (limited release), classified as a black ale, but for all intents and purposes, a black IPA. Definitely limited quantities on these 2-beers, so if you’re interested, don’t wait to pick yours up once these beers arrive on Friday!

Thank you for shopping at Wines Off Wynkoop, and please let us know how we can better serve you!

In continuation of our 15th Anniversary celebration, Wines Off Wynkoop is having a beer sale this Saturday, June 30th. When you buy 2-or more 6-packs of beer that day, you’ll save 15% off your entire beer purchase! (Feel free to mix-and-match to get to your 12-beer qualifier.)

If you have not yet come in to get your FREE 4-bottle wine tote, please do it by June 30th. If you come in before June 30th and buy 4-bottles of wine, you’ll not only get the bag for FREE, but also get 15% off the wine (which you may mix-and-match), as well as get 10% off your wine purchase anytime you bring the bag back to W.O.W. and fill it with 4-bottles of wine before June 24th, 2013. Want more than 1-bag for FREE? No problem, just buy in 4-bottle increments, and we’ll fill as many wine totes as your order requires!

After June 30th, we will be selling the 4-bottle wine totes for $3.99, which will qualify you for 10% off a full-bag of wine until our next anniversary, plus you’ll be helping the environment.

We will be holding our regular FREE Friday Wine Tasting this Friday, June 29th. We will have the 2011 Berger Gruner Veltliner from Austria, and the 2007 Chateau Saint-Sernin, from Cahors, France, which is Malbec, with a small percentage of Merlot blended in to soften it up a bit. These will be open for tasting, and discounted for tasting participants, from 1pm-6pm.

We also wanted to give you a little advanced notice that we will be open July 4th, from Noon-5pm.
