Hi Friends,

Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed some nice R&R over the holiday and now find yourself hunkered down somewhere warm. But, if you're feeling a little cooped up, why not swing by the friendly confines this evening to check out a few new wines that just arrived?

These bottles are the results of my last few trips to France in 2016. Some pretty cool stuff here: (click the links to read more about each wine, or order online if you can't make it!)

• Bainbridge & Cathcart La Danseuse Rosé, Sparkling Loire, $22.50--a lovely Loire valley pink bubbly from my buddy Toby Bainbridge--who incidentally will be visitng us next month. Stay tuned for a Valentine's Day invite!
• IPSUM Pur Carmenere 2015, Bordeaux $24--Who knew? Carmenere from Bordeaux? We bought a quarter of this miniscule 1200 bottle production. It's sooooo good.
• Mas Karolina Cotes-du-Roussillon Villages 2014, $22--What would winter be without a teeth-staining red from Catalan France to warm your bones? Lots of 'wow' here.

Tasting is FREE! Come one, come all. Today from 4pm-7pm.

Thank you all for a terrific 2016. Your support means a LOT to me. Let's do it again!

I wish you a happy, healthy, peaceful year ahead.

Warmly,

Dan

PS--Can't make it? I'll be in the store from 11-4 all day Saturday too...
