Embrace February’s Warmth With Exclusive Italian Wines

Jan 31, 2024

Hi Folks,

Well it seems to be Groundhog Day every day, as no one has been seeing their shadow for days and days. A bright spot is that there is rust forming on my snow shovel, because I sure haven’t been using it.

The special editions are now arriving fast and furious. If you haven’t already pre-ordered one and want one, get in touch, as they do run out fairly quickly. Perhaps it’s time to try an Italian Trebbiano Chardonnay. It is crisp, unoaked, dry and medium bodied wine with citrus, lemon and apple notes that lean towards the savoury side. A delight with Portobello bruschetta, $225.00/batch. Italian Nebbiolo and Sangiovese Cabernet also arrive this month. Something to put away and let time do what time does to wine, and to savour later.

I know lots of you have some challenges in your lives these days. We are here to help in any way we can, even if its just an ear to listen. We care. Please take care of yourselves.

Here are the sales for February:

Eggnog, shortbread and glasses of wine, oh my!!

That’s right, its eating and drinking season once again. I hope that all your magical wishes come true. Now I only have abilities to make certain of your wishes come true, that being to fulfill your wine order, but let’s not ever underestimate the magnitude of that ability.

I would be remiss if I didn’t issue some state of the union address in my last newsletter of the year. Due to ongoing pressures that we all are facing, I have no choice but to put an increase of wine prices, as of January 1.  4 week wines will be going up five dollars a batch, 6 week wines will go up six dollars, and En Primeur and Private Reserve will go up seven dollars per batch. This makes all the Limited Edition and Restricted Quantity wines a great value at $225.00/ batch.

Cork alone has doubled in price, and I am taking steps to help ease that pressure by introducing synthetic corks for those who don’t store their wine for any length of time. This type of cork does a fine job for short to medium terms of storage.

Rent is also skyrocketing, here is no different. I also pay a portion of the property tax and we know municipalities are cash strapped. Gas, electricity, transportation and telecom have all gone way up. And I haven’t even addressed the wine kit increases, and labour cost increases I have faced this year.

Yet I still come to work with a smile on my face, because I truly believe that we provide excellent product at affordable prices, that are still a fraction of the cost of commercial wine. I have a smile because I know I get to chat with you while you bottle your wine. I treasure these discussions.

On that note, here are the sales for December. Hmmm, seems like a good time to order for next year.
