We received some very positive feedback about the humorous quotes from last week.
Here are a few about social distancing.
I"m sure that you"ve got a few of your own.

How long is this social distancing supposed to last?
My husband keeps trying to come in the house.

"Sorry I"m practicing Social Distancing" is about to become the most popular breakup text for 2020.

FROM A PET DOG - the human has been working from home the last couple days. and every so often.
They let me participate in the video calls.
all the other humans cheer when they see me.
i am the only thing holding their company together

I don"t know who needs to hear this, but Quarantine Rules are like Airport Rules
- Have a glass of wine at 9:00 a.m. if you want to.

A lot of people are learning that "sufficient time home alone" was not all they needed to write a great novel.


Okay. That"s enough.

Don"t forget the graduates!!
Champagne is a great way to celebrate nd it complements nearly any menu!

And the college grad may want a case of IPA to tide them over the enforced time with the "Rents!

TODAY"S WINES
All the wines offered on the weekend are 10% OFF our regular pricing!


Calafuria Tormaresca Rose", Negroamaro $14.99
A peach petal pink. Both intense and delicate with fragrant notes of peaches, roses, and cherry blossoms. 
With a fresh and balanced wine, highly savory and with much aromatic persistence.
Calafuria takes its name from the over 700 bays on the Apulian peninsula. 
The region has a long tradition in the production of rosé wines made with Negroamaro, 
a variety that best expresses its full potential near the sea. 
Our rosé is produced from vineyards that extend across the Adriatic coastline for over a kilometer.

Annabella Chardonnay, Napa Valley $14.99
Named to honor Michael Pozzan’s venerable grandmother, Annabella wines are hand sourced from select vineyards throughout the Sonoma and Napa valleys. Whether cabernet sauvignon, merlot or chardonnay, these wines are a toast to a spirited woman of remarkable grace. 
We remember her love of cooking for family and friends and we celebrate it to this day. 
Annabella wines represent a wonderful combination of quality and value.
Striking a balance between fruit and oak, this Chardonnay is liked by all as it offers richness and clean acidity.  
It is strong enough to pair with food and easy enough to drink by itself.

Rias Baixas Leira Reyero, Albarino $19.99
Albarino makes plump white wines with peach, citrus and mineral characters that pair perfectly with the local seafood. 
The variety is high in acidity, and can be produced as a light white wine or in a fuller style, 
with oak or lees aging adding to the texture and richness. 
A marine characteristic from the nearby Atlantic is prevalent on the finish.

Hillinger "Leithaberg" Blaufrankisch $34.99
 92 Points Falstaff magazine, Peter Moser
"Dark ruby with violet reflections, delicate edge brightening. 
Fine Spice-backed cherry fruit, delicate blackberry and herbs, mineral appeal. Juicy, red berry confit, well-integrated tannins, crisp raspberry nuances in the finish, adheres well, a finesse food companion." 600 6-packs made -- P.M.

Rioja Riserva, Bodegas Ontanon $29.99
This wine has been highly rated by all the reviewing critics!
Ontañón"s Rioja portfolio is predominantly Tempranillo-based, 
however the Reserva and Gran Reserva wines blend 5% Graciano with 95% Tempranillo. Graciano, native to the Rioja region, 
is high in acidity, colour and tannin - beneficial for those wines which are destined for a more prolonged maturation.

And, of course, a Beer!!

Decadent Brewing, Strawberry Sorbet Ale, 4 pack, 16 oz., $20.99
A Leipzig Gose style beer.
The acidity of the German styled sour ale begins to wash the sweetness and breadiness off of the middle palate as the full berry flavor springs to lift. The  strawberries make a huge jammy impact on taste but without the sweetness of jellies or jams.
