Greetings!
We first want to wish everyone in advance a Happy
Thanksgiving. May your day be safe, healthy and full
of good cheer...and wine!
Already, we are experiencing an increased demand
for champagne and sparkling wines in addition to gift
baskets. To ensure you receive your favorite bubbly
or have that perfect gift basket ready in time for the
holidays, we at The Savory Grape suggest you call,
send us an e-mail, or stop by the store to place your
orders as soon as possible. It will be one less thing to
think about during this hectic holiday season. As with
all special orders, we are happy to keep your product
for a few days, allowing you time for a convenient
pick up.
Remember, delivery is also available for your
convenience - ask our staff for details or visit the delivery page of our web site for more
details.

The Savory Grape Updates |
|
Beaujolais Nouveau is back! For those
who missed out on last week's release of
Beaujolais Nouveau, now you have a second
chance. We will receive a single estate vineyard
Beaujolais Primeur (Nouveau), $12.49, by producer
Granger on
Wednesday, the day
before Thanksgiving. We are thrilled to be able to
receive this allocation of wine. Only 2 cases are
available, so
please stop by early to pick up a bottle for
Thanksgiving dinner. Also, to answer a question
about Beaujolais Nouveau - you do not need to drink
it within a week or month. Although very young, it
can still be consumed 6 months down the road.
Remember, on Friday, November 24, the day
after Thanksgiving, The Savory Grape will offer
10%
off any of its wine gift baskets. The discount will
apply to any wine
basket purchased from the store that day or
purchased through an order made that day. (You can
select baskets by price or theme, such as Italian,
California, French, Chocolate Lovers, just to name a
few.) As a fun way
to kick off the holiday season, we also will select
two customers that day to
be entered into a drawing for a free
bottle of wine. So come out
and enjoy the start of
the holiday season! We will open at 9 am on Friday.
January Wine Class. We know many of you
have been waiting patiently
for the announcement of the next wine class date.
We are working diligently to secure a date in
January. Please stay tuned; we hope to have a
confirmation within the next couple of weeks, just in
time to give the class as a holiday gift!

This Week's Savory Selections |
|
If you missed our Savory wine recommendations for
Thanksgiving dinner that we offered in our November
8th newsletter, you can still access them. Please
visit the Newsletter Archive on the News and Events
page of our web site and click on November 8
newsletter. To access immediately, click here.
Also, following are a few other Thanksgiving
recommendations that are coming in later today:
- 2005 Tim Adams Riesling, Clare Valley,
Australia
($17.99). This Riesling is bone dry and exhibits no
sweetness as other Rieslings do. A perfect food wine
with a crisp, light texture and body.
- 2005 Knyphausen "Baron K" Riesling
Kabinett, Rheingau,
Germany ($16.99). An aromatic Riesling, full of
apricot, peach and white flower aromas, this
white is the complete opposite of Tim Adams Riesling.
With a slight sweetness and light-to-medium
viscosity, it also is a great match for the
Thanksgiving
table.
- 2003 Domaine Monpertuis Chateauneuf du
Pape Cuvee
Tradition, France ($68). If you want to share
wonderful
wine with your Thanksgiving Day guests, or simply
keep the wine for yourself, indulge in this
Chateauneuf du Pape. From a Domaine that produces
consistently high quality wines, this French red is
drinking wonderfully now but also will last in your
cellar for another 5-8 years.
