We (aka me) forgot to send the e-mail (and change online hours) saying that we’re opening late during the Sunday scourge that is Atlantic Antic. So, I opened at noon, and minus the usual telling tourists that we have neither public bathroom for them to violate nor are we interested in their used chili dog remnants in our tiny office-style garage can, enough of you lovely regulars (and your wonderful woofers) joined us on the early side to make this a reasonably fun and profitable Atlantic Antic. Thanks for that. In fact the festival was the best attended (with the least rampant jackassery) in at least 6 or 7 years. We are now more cautiously optimistic for the future of the annual event than we have been since the year we opened.
Unrelated, it’s no secret that our limbo here on Atlantic Ave has been serpentine and arduous, but we have never been closer to being able to officially move to our new corner spot. While we are still honing in on our (semi-)grand re-opening date, the old space is a bit sparse of a few long time staples. We apologize for this, and very much appreciate you all bearing with us during this tenuous transition, and I can assure you that the new joint will be fully stocked with all of your favorites. It’s hard to get motivated to receive 5+ case drops of single items knowing that at least half of those heavy boxes will have to be marched down the street (though better now than in dog day heat). A few people have taken personal offense to their one favorite bottle being out, and a fewer still have really harped on the state of the current shelves. And seriously, to these folks, if that favorite bottle of yours was something you had never tasted before we introduced you, do you really think we don’t have another bottle that you will enjoy at least as much? #faith
And, step right this way: Welcome to our Magical Mystery Pack Offer!
The Magical Mystery Tour is coming to take you away to the land of delicious rarities where age meets beauty, in your glass. For those of you who are new to us, this is a fairly unique opportunity to pick up some old and rare wine (in some cases, irreplaceable) at well below market value. The 6-packs detailed below are drawn from bottles lost and found in the considerable depths of our cellar, and from my unruly personal collection (and past auction purchases), randomly packed in Free Range 6-bottle carriers. These bottles could be literally anything.
You can expect fair market value to significantly exceed your per bottle price, but many of these are so rare, in these vintages, that it’s difficult to corroborate value with none available at retail anywhere on Earth. All wines are at least a few years since harvest, and many are 20+ years in bottle. These bottles are almost entirely red, and lean heavily toward new world fruit sources (OR, CA, WA), though not always new world styles. Absolutely none of these are cast-offs, and the vast majority were originally purchased with personal consumption in mind, but as we’ve discussed, I own far more wine than one could ever possibly consume. We’ve tried to make as many packs available as possible, but fair warning, these went out pretty quickly the last few rounds. While the Mystère Magique 6-pack is sure to delight your palate with bottles you may never otherwise taste, the Lorem Ipsum 6-pack contains some of my all-time favorite go-to bottles and Les Grandes Chiens 6-pack(s) hold some of the finest and rarest juice ever to pass my lips. Select any (or all) that pique your curiosity!
If you would like to replace up to 3 reds with 1 bottle of whiskey, 1 bottle of white wine, and/or 1 bottle of sweet (dessert) wine, there are click boxes on the sale page for those selections.
Please hit us up directly with any questions you may have.
Otherwise, click below, and we’ll start assembling 6-packs!
