News 🗞
Bargains still abound, I was able to get a couple great deals to share with you this week. The first is the 2018 Marietta Game Trail, we’ve carried this wine for awhile now and have sold a good deal at $43.99 per bottle with their magnums going for $79.99. We were able to purchase the remaining inventory of their magnums (2 bottles in one) for $59.99! Think about it, a single bottle for $43.99 and you can buy the Magnum for just a little more, now that’s a deal. Our second great deal was for Kiona’s 2018 Cabernet. This Red Mountain Cabernet was in our racks at $25.99 all day long and we had the opportunity to pick up the last two cases for $16.99! That’s nine dollars off a bottle, (“’l’ll have 3 please!) . I’m a big fan of Red Mountain fruit from Washington State and this bottle will explain why. We’ll keep looking you keep stopping by, I think that’s a fair deal and a great way to form a relationship.
Wine Feature ⭐️
This weeks feature is not just a great bottle of wine but carries a message for us as well. I chose this originally because it was such a great wine and the message it carried into the holidays but somehow I feel it’s more appropriate for now rather than later. This weeks feature is Unity Pinot Noir and I believe a little Unity may be just what we need at this juncture. James Suckling describes this Pinot as having “pretty density of fruit with dried strawberry and some blue fruit. Hints of cedar. Full body, framed fruit and a flavorful finish. Pretty tension. Delicious finish. Solid pinot with beautiful fruit. Drink now”. I have always enjoyed Fisher Family Wines, we carried a few of their higher end bottles in the past and if any of you are at the age when any time you stepped into an automobile noticed the Body by Fisher stamp on the sill plate well these are descendants of the family. Not only did Fisher create beautiful carriages and later cars but also some pretty beautiful wines as well. We could all use a little more Unity these days and while $42.99 is a bit on the higher end how can you put a price on Unity…
Wine Pick 🥂
This weeks pick is the 2018 Kiona Cabernet, from Red Mountain Washington. This bottle was a regular in the rack and sold for $25.99 sold direct from the winery for $36.00 and now… We were fortunate to get the last two cases of this delicious Cabernet for $16.99, thus my feature. Seemed to good to be true but we have the last two cases of this great Washington State Cabernet in and they’re ready for sale. “Cabernet is king on Red Mountain; here it's a powerful, balanced, and varietally-correct wine of distinction. The winery describes this wine as follows, “This vintage was pulled high-end fruit from all five of our estate sites. Older, elegant, pyrazine-driven Cabernet blocks at Kiona Estate comprise the backbone of the blend, whereas burlier, densely concentrated, fruit-forward components from some our younger plantings complement. The resulting interplay shows Red Mountain at its finest”. Red Mountain wine is a definite go to for me and at this price it’s time for you to see why. Stop in and pick up a few before they’re all gone.

Final Thoughts 💬
It’s been a week… not just National events wise but store wise. We had a fantastic time Tuesday evening, the best dinner guests, some of the best foods we could source and prepare and some great wines to accompany. Whereas we love hosting these events it’s kind of like taking a beating, but we’re still willing to take one so that we can all have a fantastic culinary experience. Whats next…well 2nd Saturday followed closely by Beaujolais Nouveau and then a Black Friday celebration like we’ve never had before. Limited specialty wines, beers the big release of Bourbon County and all it’s variants will all be out on Black Friday. Couple that along with Chicken and Waffles and our special tapping of the only Bourbon County Keg in the county and we have something pretty special to look forward to.
Cheers from all of us here at the Wine Merchant!
