Weblog: an Archive of our Newsletters and Sales

Here We Are Free Rangers, At the end of the (year’s) road. So many top whatever lists of blah blah blah and greatest stuff, things, and happenings of the year. Not here, folks. We press on haggard but undeterred. All new fresh (as a daisy in December) material for...

A Long December Free Rangers, Everybody good? Still here (there & everywhere)? Well aware that they’ve all been weird ones since (well before) the Before Times, but it’s been a weird one. The guide stones and mile pegs of the previous half century feel now so...

Hey Free Rangers, When I find myself in rhymes of rubble, mother sherry strums of thee. Wreaking whirls of foquism. Let it Breathe. … Wait, what? Sorry. So behind this week. But lots of cool stuff going on. Here are a couple of those things. First, our latest Free...

Once Upon A Time Free Rangers, Elvis borrowed a purple Sharpie from my camera bag, and I never saw it again. The King was such a well dressed eye contact straight shooter and seemed so sincere when he swore he’d get it back to me before the shank of the evening, just...

Hola Free Rangers, Once or twice per year we have to check in and reassure our (mostly) gracious regulars- especially newer ones- that you are not going to “end up in the newsletter” as it is most often expressed to us, occasionally with nervous giggles and just a...

Hey Free Rangers, Slightly extended hours this week for Turkey Day, but we highly recommend that you get in here early, particularly if you want help with your selections, and you don’t want to see your favorite bottles sold out. We are in the process of putting...

Apologies Free Rangers, For the second e-mail in a week, but we’ve been so slammed that I forgot to mention this week’s FREE in-store tasting, but Derek also added a very cool 5 x 375ml Ridge Pack to the previous sale page, so it’s a win/win if you haven’t already...

Some Days Free Rangers, Your dogs and the carefree joy they exude are very often the only thing standing between me and a criminal charge. Fridays seem to be a thing now. This one, I came outside to see a mom with her two kids that were playing a game where they would...

Hola Free Rangers, We’re officially into holiday tourist season. These aren’t necessarily out of towners, but the sort of folks who only shop in places like this during the last two months of the year and who will often come in two or three (or four or five) times...
