Thursday Night Tasting:
July 2

Annual Rosé Tasting - plus free tote!

I never grow tired of introducing rosé to all the new clients who stop by. I must say that I have been able to convince most of you to the point where I've seen you come back for more. Starting at 5 this Thursday afternoon, rain or shine, wine-sense is officially celebrating summer by opening more than a handful of rosés.

Also, I have some summer recipes and pairing ideas for you to try this July 4th.

Buy any six bottles during the tasting and get a free wine-sense wine-tote!

Last Crush - aka Wine Wall

This week we are featuring: Red, White and...sorry, no Blue wine. But we can hope for blue skies.

White Sicilian - Zabú. We have enjoyed the red from this producer and now we will finally get to try their white.

Tuscan Red - by the same maker as Badia and Cetamura.

Great deal, great wines!!

What is the Last Crush?
An entire wall of wine at $7.99 a bottle.

I know, it's a great deal! I believe that finding an inexpensive bottle of wine is easy, but where the challenge begins and it turns into pleasure is when we set out to find that "wonderfully-made-but-inexpensive" bottle. And much more. Still working my best to bring you fantastic wines at a reasonable price.

Taft Street Russian River - 20% discount on cases

I had a fantastic response on this offer, so let's extend it another week. Offering 20% discount on full case purchases. Stock-up on Russian River at great prices this summer.

Taft Street Russian River Chardonnay $18.99

Ripe, oak, hints of lovely vanilla, but not over the top. Nice zesty mid-palate, and almost spicy start on the mouth.

Taft Street Russian River Riesling $17.99

Sweet green/yellow apple on the nose and flashes of peach on the palate, very refreshing with pretty floral notes.

Taft Street Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir $19.99

Love the body and fragrance of this wine. Entertaining subtle spices and soft hues of cherry on the palate. A great pinot under $20.

Taft Street Russian River Zinfandel $21.00

You wont need a spoon to enjoy this Zin...that is usually my line when I describe this wine. Explosive aromas and unmistaken Russian River fruit. One of my favorites for a while now!

Don't miss out on these great Russian River deals!!!
