Weather or Not Grab Bag

We'll give you plenty of reasons to visit our stores despite the extreme cold weather this weekend. That's why we always start the Friday blog post with events. One important note first: when we have to adjust store hours due to the weather or road conditions, we announce the changes on Twitter.

You should follow us on Twitter anyway. It's the first place we make announcements of any kind, especially on our limited sales, and we post a Twitter-exclusive coupon every Thursday. We do follow back.

New Products

Absolut Pride, 1 liter bottles. Limited availability, at $26.99 (same price as the standard Absolut 1 liter bottle).

Paul Hobbs Chardonnay Ross Station Estate 2012. This earned an impressive 96 points from Wine Advocate. Their review: 
"The 2012 Chardonnay Ross Station Estate (their first vintage of this cuvée) comes from the Mt. Eden clone planted in a cool area of the Green Valley section of Russian River, next to the Reuling Vineyard that Mark Aubert made famous. It offers up notes of lemon blossom, white peach, pineapple, honey and subtle oak. With great acidity, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and stunning length (it has a 40+-second finish), this profound Chardonnay should drink well for 7-10 years."

We're getting just one case per store. $68.99 in the Bottle Club®.
