Can you say Tocai Friulano?

It's not too hard.  Toe-kye Free-u-lan-oh. Yeah.

This Italian grape is grown in California and made into beautiful wine by Jim Clendenen, owner of Au Bon Climat, and we've brought it in, just for you.  

It has notes of apples, baked bread, some spice - all neatly wrapped up with juicy acidity. 

Making an appearance on our tasting sheet this week !  

Drop in and have a look - you will not be disappointed.  Cheers !!

Now in stock - Jolly Pumpkin Oro de Calabaza

Hello everyone

We received this farmhouse ale a few weeks ago, and so far it's gotten a bunch of thumbs up.

It's a 750 ml bottle for $12, which includes tax.

Also on sale for the month of February is the 2011 Oliverhill Winery Red Silk Shiraz - what we have left is on sale for $16 per bottle - hurry in, this 90 point wine won't last long.

We hope everyone had a real nice Valentine's Day.  If you couldn't get a spot at our all-red tasting we had Saturday, we'll do it again soon.

Can't wait for it warm up a little...........................

Our current operating hours:  Wednesday Thursday & Friday, opening each day at 4:30 pm

We gladly meet retail customers purchasing 6 bottles or more at your convenience.  We live just down the street, and have found that many customers appreciate this approach to shopping for wine.

Call Vince at 843 615-1654 and set up a time.

We will endeavor to offer the lowest pricing on solid cases in the area.

The February case promo:

Prisma Pinot Noir Casablanca Valley 2011            
This is what Pinot Noir is all about, but is rarely found at this price. Clear ruby/garnet color that just looks elegant and charming in the glass, inviting you in for a whiff. The nose makes you instantly take notice, which is what great Pinot Noir does.  In the mouth, the wine is gentle, round, and layered with complexity, where the fruit and earth components are interwoven beautifully, leading to a finish that is perfectly delicate and dry. 

This wine will not disappoint - it's one of the best values on the market today.

Regular price - $15.99 per bottle

Solid case of 12 - $12 each including tax - $144.  Only at the Grotto !

And, last but not least, our space is available for private functions, be it corporate wine tastings or big-event birthday parties, at very reasonable prices.

Thank you for your support !
