Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

The soothing cool weather has finally descended upon us and isn’t it glorious!  As we all begin to prepare for the holiday season, I would like to offer my services to you.  The wines in the ‘Steals of the Month’ are always of particularly great value and a no brainer for large parties and events.  I take extra care to provide you the best value money can buy with these wines.  December and My Top Picks of the Year are only a couple of months away as you will all be able to buy the best wines of the thousands that I tasted this year.  I am also pleased to announce that I have teamed up with The Black Sheep Bistro owner and Culinary Institute Graduate Joe Macri.  Together, we will provide progressive, educational dinners once a month in Old Town Spring starting in January of 2015. The results are going to be AMAZING!  Stay tuned for more information in the coming New Year. Happy Halloween!
