It's our 4th Anniversary!
Thank you, thank you friends, for your support this past year!
Each year we celebrate by capturing our year of wine "travels" in a special mystery case. Each bottle represents one of the regions we have featured, from December 2023 through November 2024. Regional information, tasting notes, and a logo waiter's corkscrew are included.
Perfect for the holidays, a "Twelve Wines of Christmas," or a nice gift for yourself! Order online or in the lounge now through 12/08/24. Pick up beginning 12/17/24.
