Last Minute Specials
I was dropping off a customers wine at the UPS store Saturday and decided to browse the BevMo next door. They had my value Chardonnay, Napa Cellars, "on sale" for $14.99 - regularly $21.99. We've sold it from the beginning at $14.99 (14.24 club). I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the suits at big chains play these games.
I'm thrilled that my "better than the grocery store" $9.99 bargain wine was so well received this past weekend. Many of you came in, tasted it, and decided it was a bargain too. I sold out but 4 more cases of Urban Uco Malbec/Tempranillo blend will be in Tuesday afternoon. If you want a high quality and delicious red for ten bucks, this is a great option. Come in this week and taste if for yourself.
Leese-Fitch California Cabernet Sauvignon is another customer favorite at $10.99.
Until the end of the year, we have a special price of $9.99!
I think the wine that is "discounted" at many big boxes is no value. There are oceans of cheap bad wine that are not worth the money. Taste the wine at the Lab and decide if it is worth it.
