To quote Galileo, ‘Wine is sunlight, held together by water.' And what better time to experience this greatest of pleasures than the month of May, full of hope for our summer (hope that it will be sunny, hope that it will be warm, hope that we can confidently put away the fleecies).
To mark the arrrival of the darling buds of May, we're having a SALE! And we're continuing our tradition of having the sale on good wines, not stuff we need to get rid of. So from today on our website and from Thursday in our Warehouse (to give you a head start for the Bank Holiday) the following are some of the deals that are available to our customers:
REDS
Alpha Zeta ‘R' Ripasso Italy 2007. €4.00 off! So the Sampler Bottle is reduced from €17.95 to €13.95. (Case prices are also reduced accordingly for all sale wines, unless specified) One of the big hits at our Tasting Counter in April. Rich, smooth, fruity complex wine from northern Italy.
Il Faggio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Italy 2008. 10% off! Reduced from €12.25 to €10.95. ‘Ultra-fruity.... lots of jolly, juicy yet burly, herby pizzazz.' Jane MacQuitty, The Times, July 2009.
Torres Ibericos Rioja Crianza, Spain 2006 €2.00 off! Reduced from €13.95 to an incredible €11.95 for this wine. As Bob Tyrer of The Sunday Times said, ‘ It has some typically flowery nonsense on the bottle about Spanish oaks. What's important is the stuff inside, which is delicious.'
Domaine de Fondrèche Nature Vin de Pays de Vaucluse, France 2009. €3.00 off! Reduced from €15.95 to €12.95. Very rare - a sulphite-free wine. Lovely spicy, dark fruit from ‘a source of sensational wines' according to wine critic Robert Parker.
Domaine de Fondrèche Fayard Côtes de Ventoux, France 2008. €3.00 off! Reduced from €15.95 to €12.95. 88 points from Robert Parker.
WHITES
O:TU Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand 2008. Only €9.95! Reduced from €14.95 to €9.95. Fantastic price for one of New Zealand's finest whites.
Terre di Monteforte Soave Classico, Italy 2008. €4.00 off! Reduced from €13.95 to €9.95. Good in 2007, the 2008 vintage of this lovely fresh white wine is fantastic! A measure of how much progress good Soave has made in recent times.
Alpha Zeta PG Pinot Grigio, Italy 2008 €3.00 off! Reduced from €14.45 to €11.45. Made by St Clair winemaker Matt Thompson, this is sunshine in a bottle. A quality Pinot Grigio.
Also, as we were planning our May Sale, little did we know how strong a response we'd get to the Argentinian deals we ran last weekend. So we're continuing those deals for the duration of our May Sale.
And remember, if you buy from us online, all the above deals are available right now, a few days early!
These are the first in a wave of deals we will be running during May, so drop in or check out www.cases.ie any time to see what else we've got on offer!
Kind regards,
Peter
