December News Flash

Holiday Wine Tasting

Come ye one and all to the Holiday Wine Tasting, on Dec. 14, 2007. It’s a Friday night, from 5:30 to 8:30, downstairs at the Flat Street Pub. Tickets are on sale at the Co-op, payable by cash or check, only.  See myself or Hugh directly, or go to the Customer Service Desk if we are on walkabout. For 15.00 per person, you get to sample a world of wine, hear great music by Paradiso, nibble tasty delectables prepared by the wizards in our deli kitchen, whilst enjoying the company of your friends and neighbors, and other over twenty-one type folk. (Tickets are 20.00, at the pub, on the night thereof. We sold out last year, so don’t delay!) Many of the wines are brand new, being shown to you for the very first time. All wines will be “on sale” for special prices. Special case deals will be available, for this one night only. All wine orders will be filled within a few days, and can be picked up as usual at the co-op.

WineScout

The Wineguy hopes that you’ve noticed our new monthly flyer called the WineScout. Sure, it’s only one colorful page, but it’s jam-packed with lots of specials and ongoing deals. Sales begin on the first of each month, and since some items are in short supply, it pays to scope it out early. (Sorry, no rain checks.)

Instore Tastings

Don’t forget that we have an in-store tasting once a month in the Community room, always on a Friday, from 3-7. (Usually the last Friday of the month, give or take.) You’ll find next year’s schedule posted soon. The December 2007 tasting is on the 28th. We taste six wines, and in accordance with Vermont state law, only four (4) people are allowed in the room at one time. The tastings are free to any adult over twenty-one. So come on in, taste some local cheeses and try some new wines.
