Hey #wine peeps, give my shop a follow. :-)
The holidays approach, and we want to make it as easy as possible to shop for all your holiday libations and gifts. So starting November 2, we will be open on Sundays from 12-5! Chris will be there and will open something fun to taste each week. We’ll see you on Sundays soon!

New: shelf talkers! With new ownership comes change. The most important change is expanding our products, which is our primary focus now. But these are my babies. We know that sometimes you don’t feel like talking. So I researched and wrote these shelf talkers. -Chris

The bright aromas of raspberry, blackberry, strawberry & cherry meld together on the palette. Soft, yet firm tannins frame the fruit with spices & vanilla into a balanced, lingering finish. Come in and grab a bottle of Willajory Willamtte Valley Pinot Noir at under $20!

For my Friday #wine post, this is a helpful breakdown of the price hikes the wine & spirits industry is seeing following the #tariffs. It cost me $50 more for my spring shipment from New Zealand. Politics aside, drinking is just more expensive now. www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/indu...

There’s a duh/strawman aspect to this. Of course taste & cost are the most important factors in selling #wine. “Here is my $300 Cab. It tastes like overripe, molded fruit but we have solar panels!” Get out of here. It’s about making great wine then telling the story of why it is worth a few extra $.
FYI: Sustainability loses power as a marketing tool in the global wine industry amid shifting consumer priorities #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #WineIndustry #ConsumerTrends #MarketingStrategies

Producers embrace eco-friendly practices but price, taste, and health concerns outweigh environmental messaging for most wine buyers

Want high quality traditional method sparkling wines without the hefty price tag of high-end Champagne? I recommend Franciacorta & England. Ca' del Bosco is amazing. Hopefully more of these wines will be entering American markets even with the tariff threats. www.decanter.com/wine-travel/...
