GIFT CERTIFICATES MAKE A FABULOUS GIFT ...  OR CREATE A UNIQUE GIFT BASKET OR GIFT SET!

We have many options in all price ranges and are known  for our classy gift wrapping and packaging ideas.  We carry everything from cello, cloth, canvas, or satin bags to cardboard or wooden  boxes and chests. 

Hand-written gift cards and local delivery are also available services and prices can be quoted depending upon your needs. A place of business is preferred for local delivery, or for home deliveries we need to speak to the gift recipient before arranging delivery to ensure they are home for a set amount of time.  Because we are so central, many customers prefer to pick up.

WOW, in our careers we have never seen so many wines reduced in price from the wineries! 

Over 80 wines are on sale in our store right now, and as you may know, we do not mark up the price of  wines and only charge winery list price! If this is due to the current economic situation, now is the time to buy those favorites and stock up for summer!  Wines are reduced $1-7 a bottle! 

Send us an email and we will email you back a spreadsheet with all the wines on sale.  This is also a great time to ship since the price reductions would help offset shipping costs.
