Do you know the wines of Hugh Hamilton?
He is our new wine friend from Australia
(see photo above).
We recently had the pleasure of receiving a visit from Hugh Hamilton himself and we are
HUGE fans of his wines!
From the "Jim Jim" Shiraz (at $10.99) to the "Villain" Cabernet (at $19.39), the wines are elegant and approachable with great depth.
Let us help you choose the perfect wine
in his lineup to go with your dinner tonight! There's a style and a price-point for everyone.

Basics of Wine
Our philosophy has always been to "drink what you enjoy". Yes, the old rule of drinking reds with meat, and whites with fish or chicken, is certainly one by which you can live. A Cabernet will always be perfect with Filet Mignon and a Chardonnay with Grilled Chicken.
But other factors should be considered before making your wine choice. . . the complexity and richness of the meal; the sauces, sides, and condiments to accompany the entree; and the spiciness of the overall food. Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with Salmon or Ahi Tuna, and Riesling is fabulous with spicy Thai or Cajun cuisine.
So come by and let us help you choose that perfect bottle of wine for a special occasion or just for pizza night. That's what we're here for! We have many of your tried-and-true favorites, but we also have exciting and unique options that have been personally chosen by Pam and Gail. And remember that our wines start at $6.99!
Wine of the Month
Just Wines by Paul Sapin
"Life is complicated. Wine shouldn't be."
This new line expresses a new attitude about wine, one which keeps things simple and says JUST enjoy yourself. The wines are 100% varietal which means that the name on the bottle is exactly what you get. . . no blending, no oak chips, JUST wine. The wines are clean, medium to full-bodied, and delicious. We are stocking the Just Chardonnay, Just Cabernet Sauvignon, and Just Rose.
Give them a try at our "Try Me Price" of only:
$8.99
Reg. 10.99
