THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO STOCK UP Early ...
ON VETERANS DAY , how beautiful, gorgeous day this Tuesday, November 11th,
2014 here in Cleveland Park and I just helped Izzy with his requests ...
and I am copying and pasting what transpired just a few minutes ago as I
start this email of the week ...
JUST SOLD to Izzy a few minutes ago on Veterans Day that also happens to be
his birthday, and he's celebrating with another and it is that person's
birthday : two with birthdays today, two without : four people together on
Veterans Day celebrating birthdays on a very very special day indeed! I
love it. I asked Izzy what he liked : " Cabernet Sauvignon " he replied. I
showed him three different Cabs, one from Spain that is organic and On
Special now for $9.99 with 50% Tempranillo blended, one from Mark
Honeycutt called MYTHIC Mountain, 2014, Mendoza, $14.99, 13.9% alcohol by
volume that I tasted a couple of weeks ago and really liked, and .... the
CHATEAU VARTELY Sec Rosu Cabernet Sauvignon, $12.99, 2012, from Moldova's
Cimislia region, 13.5% alcohol by volume. Izzy picked the CHATEAU VARTELY,
liked the story about Dmitri and Dmitr's mom that helped to make the wines
there, and customers of ours that have visited there and been blown away
upon their return to discover both the Cabernet Sauvignon and the
Chardonnay here! Love it, all at the start of Veterans Day on a very
special day indeed. Cheers, TONY
I JUST SPOKE TO Leanni that was nice enough to read the last review posted
on us on Yelp and that makes my day, really it does. So nice to have
customers leaving their opinions there on how we are doing so that we may
improve on what we are already doing well and possibly augment here any
suggestions that they may have, things that have ' fallen through the
cracks ', that perhaps we have not realized ourselves that we should be
doing to improve our customer services, and services here to you all
overall! Love it.
COPPI'S Organic Italian Ligurian food just opened down in the old Lavandou
location and it looked like they were doing well. That is great news indeed
for our fabulous neighborhood here. Good luck Carlos and team! Let us know
if we can help in any way?

deal! Fresh, vibrant, sweet cheeriness!
2) CLEAN SLATE 2013 German Mosel Riesling, dry, bright, crisp, so much
delicious slate, too ... and great balance, great value, amazing all the
way from start-to-finish! Jody Jackman poured this here this past Friday
along the wines that Andrew Stover poured for their 4 Grapes Wine TASTE-OFF
: what fun this all was!
3) Prosecco from Italy that is OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD , just like the two
above, really fine this VERV Extra Dry, $11.99 from ANDREOLA, all three

Siatista, this ' old vines ' Xinomavro from the DioFili Siatista Winery,

it is so distinct, so filled with it's own elegant yet racy and spicy -
flaired/ flaired/flared we-they-all-of-us-really-CARE taste, identity and
personality. It's a really, really fine Thanksgiving wine. I agree
wholeheartedly on this one with Nassos that poured it here this past
Saturday with Caroline Holland. What a great tasting, loved it!
5) " Ship Of Fools " 2013 from Old Mission Peninsula, Michigan, an
off-dry red blend of three Pinot grapes that Andrew poured on Friday night
of :60% Pinot Blanc, 35% Pinot Gris and 5% Pinot Noir. It's a delight that
has been delighting our customers now for two - three years here! It's a
delight with or without a meal. It's a great way to celebrate Thanksgiving
with a taste that just keeps on pleasing, and pleasing almost everyone,
even with the extra fruit, that's perfect for so many : all ages like it.
6) 100% Gamay from Burgundy, France, this dry and elegant red with
some acidity and real liveliness, a touch of spice and toasty-roasted
flavors is a great way to cut through the various Thanksgiving flavors.
From the region called Chenas in Beaujolais, this wine is made by
Christophe Pacalet and it turned many a head here on Friday night when Jody
Jackman poured it for you all.
