The Turkey Wall

Our annual Turkey Wall is up and running.

Whether you're doing the traditional spread or making up your own rules, we're ready to put the perfect bottle in your hands.

The Holiday Party Pack Special

We've picked six wines, each an incredible value, to help you get the absolute most out of your holiday season.

These crowd-pleasers are definitely easy on the budget, and we chose them just for you (hope that doesn't seem too forward).

Then, to boot, we're offering 10% off six (one of each) and 15% off a case (two of each).

Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola 2008. This wine is our go-to crowd pleaser. A Nero d’Avola with red currants and red plum flavors and aromas all mixed in with a bit of smoky, meaty flavor. Mmmmm.

Domaine La Bastide Syrah 2007. Give this winner a little air and you’ll be greeted with dark fruit, a little spice, and when it has time to open up... a bit of bacony goodness. A great crowd pleaser for cooler evenings.

Castano Monastrell 2007. A bargain of a wine with loads of dark fruit, black pepper and a tiny bit of floral.

Lurton Pinot Gris 2008. If you like Pinot Gris from Alsace but are on a budget, try this gem from Argentina. White peaches, melons, mandarin oranges and flowers with a viscous texture provides roundness balanced by good, clean acidity.

Giocato Pinot Grigio 2008. Just over the Italian border, this Slovenian wine has chalky, mineral notes and lots of complexity for the dollar.

Segura Viudas Brut Reserva Cava. Made from the traditional Penedés grapes – Macebo (a.k.a. Viura in the Rioja region), Parellada, and Xarel-lo – this dry Cava delivers aromas and flavors of apples and a touch of herbs with tight bubbles and good acidity.


A six-pack starter kit comes in at a mere $60.04, and a case runs $113.40. Let the games begin.

The Holiday Gift/Entertainment Pack Special

This hand-selected collection of wines is specifically chosen for holiday gift giving and entertaining.

Grab a six pack (one of each) and you'll get 10% off. Pick up a case (two of each), and we'll make it 15% off.

Cuvee des Ardoises Fitou 2004
Brophy Clark Santa Barbara County GSM
Renato Ratti Ochetti Nebbiolo D'Alba 2007
Domaine Monpertuis Cuvee Counoise 2006
Can Feixes Penedes 2008
Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc 2008


Factor in the discount, and your gang of six costs only $95.34, or pick up a case for $180.07.

Oh, Douro!

Apparently the New York Times is monitoring our selections.

The Times had a nice write-up on emerging Portuguese red wines from Douro, and a handful of these great value wines are already firmly planted on our shelves.




2006 Altano from Symington Family Estates. Plummy, dark cherry, with cocoa notes. This does need a bit of air but it's worth the wait at $9.





Quinta do Coa. We've had a soft spot for the Coa for a couple years now. And, with loads of intense red fruit, a bit of spcie and soft tannins, it's easy to love. $24





2005 Quinta dos Aciprestes from Real Companhia Velha. Don't let the tannins scare you. Let it open up for while or have it over a couple of days. For $10, you'll get a lot of beautiful dark plummy notes intertwined with dark cherry and polished with just the right amount of oak.

It's Baaaa-aaaack!

We've managed to get our hands on more of the elusive Chateau Des Annibals Rose from Provence - dry, just the right amount of fruit, and lovely minerality.

And, while supplies last, Everyday Wines Bag Members get 15% off six bottles.

Not an EDW Bag Member? Well, that's easily rectified. Swing by the store, purchase at least four bottles of wine (mix and match, fine with us), and receive a complimentary Everyday Wines Bag.

The EDW Bag holds six bottles, is great for additional shopping in Kerrytown and beyond, and is so sturdy that there will be nothing but EDW bags and cockroaches after the apocalypse.

Then, on all future visits, your Bag Member status will be duly rewarded. You'll always get 10% of any six bottles (whereas the rest of the world has to purchase a case to get that kind of discount), as well as special promotions (like the 15% off the Annibals).

EDW Bag Members also get 15% of cases during December. The gift that keeps on giving.

A Couple New Faces

Excelsior Shiraz 2006. Dark fruit, smoked meat, and a little bit of good stink. Quite a bit of complexity for a mere $10. Great for the cool weather coming our way. Think hearty autumn stews.




Lang & Reed Cabernet Franc '07. Owners John & Tracy Skupny have produced a lovely example of California Cabernet Franc. Hailing from the higher elevations of Lake County, this Cab Franc has bright cherry fruit, nice earthiness, pretty floral notes, and lively acidity. Think gift or fall/holiday food. $25

To Life!

Kosher wines are now in for the holidays.
