Coravin

We are now a Coravin retailer.

We are selling Model 8, and it is $299, same price as on the internet but you save the shipping.

Our supplier of the device delivers on Fridays, so while we have our personal one in the shop, if you'd like to get one it takes a couple of days.

Cheers !

Here's Our Take on the 2016 Wine Market

Simply put, consumers have never had more choices.

Even your local drug store carries Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand and not too shabby California Cab.

But today's artisan wine producers are really stepping up their game, and there's really no reason to even consider buying the not-so-interesting wines from the big factories.

So what's hot?

Everything.  Try a bottle of Kerner, or Schiava, two little known Italian grapes (white and red, respectively) grown in the Alto Adige.  

Pinot Noir from New Zealand is also outside the everyday quaff and most are quite enjoyable.

White French blends from all over are inexpensive and excellent.

Cru Beaujolais wine - Fleurie and Morgon - these gamay-based wines are so wonderful !

Big Red? Go to Spain.

Enjoy the journey...................................
