Hola Free Rangers,
I feel like a lot of people abandoned #DryJanuary this weekend. No judgement. I didn’t even attempt, though I’ll likely be taking it quite a bit easier in February and/or March. We just saw brisker foot traffic and somewhat less nonsense per hour than any Saturday in recent memory. Still a fairly dense and volatile daily energy out there at street level. Luckily, we can confirm that the booze still works. In our microcosm, the seemingly never ending cellar re-org continues to uncover all sorts of wonderful things, many of which will be finding their way to the shelves soon. Not coincidentally, below you’ll find a fun double vertical opportunity from one of the country’s oldest own-rooted organic vineyards.
So, check it out: the local distributor for Ridge added another one of those crazy 10 cases discounts, this time on the current release of one of their most classic old vine Zin-based blends, Ridge Lytton Springs 2019. And while not at all discounted, we currently have access to two consecutive vintages of the legendarily long-lived (and insanely old vine) Petite Sirah from that same venerable Sonoma Vineyard vineyard: Ridge Lytton Estate Petite Sirah 2017 & 2018. For the few of you who may still be unfamiliar, the Ridge label has looked the same since the early ‘60s, and they are steward to some of the oldest vines in the country, long certified organic. Under the Ridge label, you’ll find the most consistent bold CA reds I’ve ever come across. And for those of you with cellars, wine fridges, or consistently cool little corners of your world, these wines age gracefully, indefinitely.
Get $10 off the regular shelf price for a bottle of Lytton Springs ’19 or deeper discount on a 6-pack (less than $35/btl), in a FREE wine tote. As for the verticals, there are a limited number available of mixed 6-packs of The New Arrivals, which includes 4 bottles Lytton Springs ’19 and 1 each Petite Sirah ’17 and ’18 at $219 (regularly $294). And there’s an even smaller number of Double Vertical 6-packs, which include 1 bottle each Lytton Springs ’16, ’17, and ’19, and Petite Sirah ’15, ’17, and ’18. As always, these sale prices are only available through the website, by clicking below!
