AL
VOLO open opened last week and so we are all excited about that, just
about the same time that the last jedi made his appearance on the large
screen across the street at the uptown theater!
I
WENT IN TO WISH THEM WELL, Danieli took me around, saw many of you
dining there happy and smiling, animated, filled with life and joy. That
was Friday night. I told danieli that i would have him make me something to take home to share with my family, will do it this week.
i
have been getting the lunch specials over at mr chen's organic
restaurant and always being quite pleased with my meals there. really
tasty, flavorful, balanced and satisfying.
i
have also been enjoying for lunch the various specials and regular menu
items at byblo's deli, ... nice to have so many choices here.
the
great thing is that so many of these meals will be great with the
beers, wines and spirits we sell here. It is fun to have you all
occasionally come by and ask us for recommendations to pair with your
food choices, those that you will take home immediately and enjoy. It is
a great team effort, and it works so well much of the time. Cheers!
LOTS GOING ON here as we get ready for Part Two of our Big-Theme BUBBLY Wine-Tasting on Wednesday, December 27th, 2017 ( 5:30-8:30PM - $10 cover charge to be applied later to any purchases you make ), taste 25 sparkling wines for celebrating!
FOR THOSE ART-LOVERS , too this Thursday December 21st, 6:30-8:30PM
across the street at the Uptown Arts DC House ( the old Four Provinces
Irish pub location next to Byblos Deli ) , go by, have some fine wine,
talk to the local artists about their work, if you like buy some, too as
it is for sale. Support your local artists and art. Cheers. I am an
artist , too, and I will be there pouring some wine and speaking about
my art as well. This is an opportunity to get some great last-minute
gifts for yourself, or family and friends.
WE
WANT TO THANK all the artists over at the Uptown Arts DC House for
these last few months of enthusiasm and energy, vitality, youth and more
that they have infused here. It has been a great working space for much
art and has brought many new people here, too , with music and fashion
and clothing and paintings, movies, art classes, drawing, and more. Marc
has recently done some art for Marco at Byblos to help him advertise
his specials. Go check it out.
I
HAVE a new calm and clarity that is rather enlightening and that puts
me more at ease and at peace that I am aware and able to move forward
with family, community, country and world. That is quite reassuring as
this last year for many it has been turbulent, jarring, unsettling and a
puzzle that made our ' puzzler ' sore like in Dr Seuss stories! Need to
' un-sore ' our puzzlers! that is my mission, rise above and along and
forward with purpose, mission, and accomplishments from small to medium
to large. join me - us as we very much benefit from one another.
it
has been grand to be cheerleaders for our wonderful neighborhood as
well as many causes that many of us believe in and champion like planned
parenthood, a woman's right to decide for herself what to do or not do
about her own body, equality for women, equality for all, equal pay for
women, no more sexual abuse of women, children, family members,
acceptance of all people, tolerance, fairness, and so much more.
WHAT FOLLOWS BELOW is my old store email I wrote on December 17th, 2013, read and enjoy it if you have time. Cheers, TONY 12/19/2017
I HAVE NO TIME : SO : will be piecing this email together for you all and sending it quickly!
TIME FOR IT'S
FUN FOR , JAGIR, MICHEL, SANTOS, Sifredo,louis and me 0 TONY to help
you with your various needs, especially now during the holidays ...
happy holiday 2013 everyone!
THIS IS TODAY'S STORE EMAIL.
It's been fun so far, orders to fill, phone calls to take, gifts to
package and cards to write and to attach to gifts, gift certificates to
fill out for people like Kevin.
THEN THERE WAS NICKIE that came
in visiting her friend that lives here with her this visit as well as
the last three weeks ago when Nickie asked me : " Do you have any of the
dry red Schiava Alto Adige Auslese Italian wine from KALTERN? "
Actually what really happened was that Kickie showed me the picture of
the label on her phone and I saw it and said : " No, we are out. " This
was, of course not what Nickie wanted to hear again today.
So I sold her some of the 2012
DAL MASO Del Veneto dry red , $11.99, 13% alcohol by volume to try,
telling her the difference between the tow. Nickie needed another bottle
so we decided on the 2012 MARQUES DE ZENETE Valencia Spanish
Tempranillo, On Special for $8.99, 13.5% alcohol by volume. Then I got
our local rep Andrew on the phone, ordered the wine, put Nickie on the
phone to tell him the story and say : " I want your job " after I told
her Andrew had been in Oregon buying " new " wines to sell.
BEFORE THAT TOM came by to buy
lottery tickets ( as the number is HIGH! really high now ). Tom needed
some for gifts and some for himself. What fun, everyone wants to win!
Cannot Blame anyone, I will have to play, too.
BEFORE TOM I WAS HELPING Caroline Baculund ( spelling ? ) that's 93
years , went first to buy a vacuum-cleaner down the street, passed our
store with her friend, needed two " smooth " reds for $12 approximately
to enjoy while she read, said she enjoyed the combination. I found her
two reds. I found out that Caroline was the librarian at the National
Gallery of Art for twenty-five years : all so impressive! She also has a
bottle of the DAL MASO Cabernet Veneto red, $11.99 to try and see what
she thinks? I asked her as she walked away from the store down the
street : " You still read books and not from a Kindle? " That's when she
said : " Of course. " and told me what she did for a living.
Impressive!
AFTER THAT CAROL approached me
and said : " The man that knows so much ", thanks Carol. I appreciate
that. We spoke and I helped you Carol and you said you wanted to buy a
lottery ticket so you could buy our store and put the other store down
the street out of business because they never treated you well or made
you feel appreciated, you always felt like they were talking down at
you. Thanks Carol for all the complements - we appreciate them all. And I
have not included the name of the store here even though you have
clearly said it more than once. We are not about talking down or bad
about our competition, but we do like and appreciate complements. Happy
holidays to you and your family!
SO YOU CAN SEE with the holidays and the lottery we are busy and happy for it!

This Is A 2-Year-Old Store Email
to read and enjoy for the nostalgia and to see how things have changed
or stayed the same : see where you stand in all of this
IT'S FUN FOR MIKE AND ME to
work with a store bulging at the seams with lots and lots of bubbly (
many customers are saying that they have never seen so much bubbly here
at one time ) and wines specially-suited for these warm holidays inside
with rather cold weather outside. Get by a fire, cuddle, snuggle, stay
warm and keep that smile both inside and outside and share these moments
all around.
WE HERE HAVE SO MUCH GOOD
CHEER in Cleveland Park that includes all the liquid forms of alcohol
from milder to mid to stronger : depending on any of your needs. CALL US
or RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL and let us know how we can help you plan and
organize a home party, an office party, a gift to be delivered to
someone special or someone that just did something for you. I LOVE THIS
STORE AND NEIGHBORHOOD because someone is always doing something for
someone else and the gifts just continue to go back and forth every day
here. MANY OF OUR CHAMPAGNE and our bubbly, single malts and other
spirits come in nice, easy-t0-wrap packages. So, if you are looking for
one-stop shopping please think of us.
ON ANOTHER POSITIVE NOTE it
is thrilling to see something going into the old MacDonald's location
soon as well as the old Starbucks. The old Magruder's location will be
filled by an expanding Palena, etcetera ... THESE ARE GREAT SIGNS for
our neighborhood and we are all doing as well as the times warrant given
your active and continued support. THANKS MILLE FOIS! We cannot do any

LOOKING FOR ANYTHING
SPECIAL/ hard to get, unusual, something from your past, something that
you just tasted in a restaurant or on a trip somewhere?
Please give us a call at : 202-363-4265

already have it. A LOT OF OUR BUSINESS is DELIVERIES and SPECIAL ORDERS
so please call CALL or RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL. It comes right back to
Mike or me and we try to act upon your requests immediately.
BEER :
SANTOS our BEER SPECIALIST
has ordered many seasonal beers, ales, lagers, wheat beers, all sizes ,
bottles and cans ( DALES, PORK SLAP $7.99, MOO THUNDER $7.99, MONK'S
BLOOD $9.99 , mini kegs ( HEINEKEN $21.99, BELLS Best Brown Ale $24.99,
WARSTEINER German $14.99 and GROLSCH was $18.99 and is ON SALE now for
$9.99!) , twelve packs of a brewery's best like the LANCASTER Brewing
Company's mix at $ 15.99 . We have a vast/broad selection : pretty much
anything that you could possibly want - even stocking stuffers as so
many we sell by the bottle.
LIQUOR & LIQUEUR :
RAVI continues to ADD
pretty much every " new " VODKA, GIN, BOURBON, TEQUILA, RUM, SCOTCH,
CANADIAN WHISKY - the whole liquor business has exploded with multiple
choices from the names that you already know to those that you have
never heard of before. It's a rapidly-growing business that was almost
dead and on it's last legs a few years ago.AMAZING TURN-AROUND and as a
result RAVI OFFERS MANY as they are released and available for the first
time ever. if they are successful and you all return for more he
continues with them.
WINE : LIQUOR Continued :
IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME
with us : shelf space here is limited and valuable and so both Ravi as
well as Mike and I change things around often to give the " new " items "
a chance to be seen and purchased by you. If he does not have something
you want he can order it as long as some company has it for us to buy.
The same is true with us. This goes for the expanding range of LIQUOR as
well as LIQUEURS. ASK US, don't be shy. It's hard to see everything
immediately here and often we have to put it someplace that we know
where to find it when you ask as we do not have enough space to
adequately display everything visibly and easily. PLEASE BEAR WITH US as
we are trying to accommodate so many " new " as well as " old "
favorites : daunting but doable, really.
SO HERE ARE SALES & SPECIALS :
BEER:
1) Steven's POINT Brewery ( 4 types ) : ALL 6-packs are $7.49
for 12 ounce bottles. We have all three. They were just tasted here last

Chardonnay and the Cabernet Sauvignon. Can't wait : they fly, the whirl,
the swirl, they dance upon the stage of our palates and work their
charm. lovely , wonderful, and everything nice ...
I KNOW I HAVE FORGOTTEN SOMETHING : Happy Holidays and thanks
again and again and again for all your support and confidence in us ...
we feel so strongly a part of the Cleveland Park community because of
you all that impress and charm and entertain and wax poetic with finesse
and all things nice and good and inspire us to do our best each and
every day .... cheers, TONY
