Ya Know Free Rangers,
Our weird poisonous sentimental culture has a bad habit of speaking well of the dead, just because they’re dead, regardless of how terrible they were in life. And we’ve recently said good riddance to racist, sexist, homophobic war monger, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham. This well known closeted conservative freak was the truest belle of the military industrial ball. Perhaps he knew the end was near, which is why he fled from DC so recently to wander around Disney World as a solo old man where he was seen waiting in line for Space Mountain carrying a plastic princess wand. Wouldn’t it have been nice if he had been born in Brooklyn, lived his truth where nobody cares what you do at home, and not pushed for war after war after war. One of the last known photographs of Graham was in Ukraine holding a military drone, with his big creepy grin. He just loved things that kill people in war, and I’m glad he’s dead. Lindsey Graham went from a sharp critic of candidate Trump to a loud boot licking supporter of the corrupt regime; a pathetic, soulless suck up to power. That’s who he was. Cheers to his influence in government being removed from the board. It’s South Carolina, so the odds of their next Senator being much better ain’t great, but you’ve gotta enjoy the moral victories where they come. This paragraph could’ve been better, but I am not wasting another thought on the beast. Join DSA wherever you are (Lindsey would’ve hated it): https://www.dsausa.org/
Now, this week’s FREE in-store tasting is with our old pal, Roy, from whom we acquire the unreasonably delicious Chablis of Jean Dauvissat. One of my favorite things about Chablis is that a large percentage of people who tell us they hate Chardonnay ask for a Chablis in the next breath, which is of course 100% Chardonnay from Chablis, France. The quality per dollar of these delectable wines is as high as it gets in a region whose pricing has been out of control for decades. Please join us this Thursday, July 16th (5-7pm), for FREE tastes of Jean Dauvissat Chablis 2023 and Jean Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru Montmains 2023. As and added something-for-everybody bonus, we’ll also be showing our go-to 3L box of rosé for your summer beach/porch/pool/park/stoop crushing needs. Per usual, please enjoy 10% off all of the above in-store on tasting day only!
And we weren’t going to have an online sale this week, as the last few seemed scarcely noticed, and fewer of you are ordering online this time of year. Which is also why we did the in-store only Weekend Whiskey Sale, which is still up for viewing/purchasing as of the time of this note, though we will have to clear the area for the above detailed Thursday tasting. So, this week we’re going old school e-mail flash sale style, and you must reply to this e-mail to get the below discounts, which are neither available online nor in the shop! Not a ton of stock on some of these, and they are available now first come first served. Please have a look, shoot us a note, and let us know what we can set aside for you!
