Love wine but not wine snobs? Come into our certified wine snob free store this Saturday, July 31st  from 12-4 and sample four wines, including a new favorite, Wine By Joe Pinot Noir. It’s a fun, affordable, fruity and light pinot, perfect for summer. Wine By Joe’s motto? “Producing really good wine without attitude.”

Fabulous and fun open house last Friday, and the hit of the evening was Kung Fu Girl riesling ($12.99) by Food and Wine magazine Winemaker of the Year Charles Smith.  Perfect for brunches, picnics and light meals, it’s low in alcohol, not sticky sweet but off dry with wonderful acidity.  We just received another case of this rather limited edition wine, so come on in and get yours before it’s gone. 

Still a few spaces left for tonight’s popular Wine 101 class, 7-8:30 pm. If you are looking for deep, technical wine information taught by boring, pretentious wine experts, this class is not for you! Come in, relax, taste eight different wines and get a fun overview of the world of wines. $15. Call 636-405-0800 for reservations.

Or just eat one!  Come in 7-9 p.m. this Friday, July 23rd for our popular Barbecue Bash Open House.  15 wines, many new to the store, along with barbecue treats smoked in a wine barrel… seriously… you’ll have to see (and taste) to believe.

Be among the first in St. Louis to try the liqueur that’s sweeping the country, Thatcher’s Organic, soon to be featured in the August edition of Taste Magazine. Come by 5-7 p.m. this Friday, July 16th to sample some outstanding drinks, including Mommy’s Salad, made with cucumber liqueur, Sweet Heat Margarita with Tres Chiles Liqueur, Blood Orange Margarita with, you guessed it, blood orange liqueur, and two other surprises.  Who said July is boring?

Summer fun without sweating?  It’s possible!  Come in to WOW 7-9 p.m this Friday, June 25th for a special open house.  Veteran Sonoma winemaker and vineyard manager Bill Arbios will be pouring some of his famous Praxis wines, as well as his own Arbios Cab.  There will also be two other tables brimmming with new wines for you to try, light snacks,  and heavy fun!  $10 at the door.

We have learned there are really only two Italian phrases you must learn before touring Tuscany… “where is the bathroom?” and “I would like a glass of red wine, please.”  Then you are good to go!

Well, closed for Memorial Day.  Come in this weekend to stock up on all your party and picnic needs.  We have a great array of picnic backpacks and totes, pool worthy plastic wine glasses, wine stakes (always a hit at Shakespeare in the Park and other outdoor events) and, of course, literally over a thousand wines to peruse.
