***TEASER ALERT*** The first UNBELIEVABLE wine bargain of 2010??? Maybe… ’07 Larkmead Cabernet 94+ Pts. It’s here! AND our first annual WINE SALE continues ***Beer Tasting SOLD OUT—Sorry, but PLEASE do not come without a ticket! Paso Robles Wine Country Our longtime customers will remember back about 6 years ago to The Great 2000 Concannon Petit Syrah Phenomenon. A classic, big, fruity California red, the Concannon came to us at a really nice price, of which we rightly boasted. Word spread like wildfire—like for no other wine we’ve ever sold before or since. In the end we sold more than 700 cases of that wine! A big number for Cloverleaf. Well, if our hunches are correct, we’ve got our next Concannon success story—and this one could be even better. The guys recently tasted this wine and were knocked out. Like Concannon, it is a Petit Syrah from the great Paso Robles area of California’s Central Coast.. Unlike the Concannon, this is a vineyard designated wine with far greater ambitions—a deeper, richer, and simply better wine than the Concannon. This is every bit a $30-$35 bottle of wine that we can sell for nearly half that number. “It’s just really, really delicious,” says Tom. Many cases are en route from California—all for us, a CLOVERLEAF EXCLUSIVE for the entire metro area—and after we’ve tasted it again, just to be sure we’re not deceiving ourselves…we can put it on the shelf! Cases upon cases. We should have word by next week. Stay tuned… Get your WINE SALE on! Our first annual WINE SALE continues--so if you haven't yet had a chance to stop in, please make time this weekend. We’re working with our key vendors to bring you up to 100 wines at ridiculously low prices, some of them old favorites and some of them completely new. As our vendors clear out inventory, so will we. We’re checking inventory and pricing many of our wines to MOVE. So don’t miss out on this chance to stock your cellar with some terrific wines you once could only dream of trying. For a look at our SALE catalog online, click the Cloverleaf Fine Wine website here (and please understand that a small number of these wines are available only in limited quantities). Larkmead Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 Less than $60 Word from our Scott Collins is that a case of the new 2007 Larkmead Cabernet Sauvignon just arrived today. Cali Cab connoisseurs will recognize this label as a classic of the varietal—from a fantastic 2007 vintage. “The ’07 vintage of northern California Cabernets is just outta’ this world,” Scott said. “Much like the ’07 southern Rhones, these wines benefited from warmer weather that yielded much riper and more concentrated fruit. The ‘07 Larkmead Cab is big, rich, lush, and full-bodied.” --The Guys at Cloverleaf
