$1.99 WONDER WINE $1.99 WONDER WINE May 1985 Mayflower Wines And Spirits Monthly Mail-Out Newsletter / Before Computers & Internet!

This is a great blast from the past in one of Sidney Moore's old monthly newsletters for the Mayflower Wines & Spirits store located at 2115 M Street, N.W. Washington D.C. 20037 Phone : ( 202 ) 463-7950. $1.99 WONDER WINE $1.99 WONDER WINE " This wine had two defects , it's price - $1.99 and it's name - " le Black Wines ". The people who should taste it think it couldn't possibly be good. It took Tony weeks to get me to even try ' le Black Wine ". But what a pleasant surprise1 From Cahors, in the southwest of France, an area well known for robust reds, this little gem will be a pleasant surprise. I won't go on and on about the region or the grapes - just say that it would have a good taste for money ratio at $2.99. Well worth a try. " Le Black Wine, VIN DE TABLE, 1983 $1.99/BOTTLE $21.49/CASE OF 12 Just thought you might all like to read this as it's a great story and the wine was, in fact very good and a great deal. Please add any comments that you might have. Cheers, Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn Yes, I was the Tony she was speaking of above. We worked well together for many years at the Mayflower Wines & Spirits. Back then I was responsible for buying the domestic wines for the store. Cheers on this very nice Monday, February 18th, 2013 at 11:55PM on Presidents' Day. Just got to squeak that in. Take care, happy Tuesday ... TONY
