July 29, 2025: It’s In The Business Tuesday (ITBT) at the shop. (This may be old news for some, but if it’s new news to you the deal is, If you’re in the food, booze, or hospitality business, you can pick out any 3 bottles and buy them at a 25% mark up from cost

Why do we do this?

1. If gives us something to post about (if we’re being totally honest)

2. It helps us move through the cool and quirky wines we like to stock… so that we can buy MORE cool and quirky wines

3. It helps make the occasional splurge a little more affordable for our industry friends (because, keeping to that honestly theme, no one really gets rich working in food and beverage biz.)

(Note: there is no requirement to buy a fancy bottle… the same rules apply to $10 as they do $150 bottles. But it’s usually the fancy ones that get snagged.)

If you’re not in Copakeland today, you can call in your order and we’ll send you an invoice - but it has to be paid today. (But you can pick it up any time.)

As a little bonus for anyone making the trek - even if just to browse - we always have something fun open to sample. Today, it’s the De Fermo Rosato 2024. Here’s Katie’s note:

Wooohooo! This baby is divine!! The nose is rustic strawberry rhubarb pie. The palate is so juicy, grippy and I would even say savory. It’s made with Montepulciano and has been dubbed a “baby cerasuolo d’Abruzzo.” I’m not sure exactly what that means but I like the sound of it! It’s full of strawberry, plum and a teeny bit of watermelon. Like a Provence, you get a nice mineral, saline wash but unlike the french rose, you get these big, beautiful fruit flavors. All while being super dry, refreshing and having a level of complexity you don’t see too often. If you want to step out of your rose comfort zone, I’d try this one!

See you in the center of everything in the middle nowhere!

LAST DAY TO ORDER!

CLOS CIBONNE: SPECIAL OFFER
Serious Rose with Age: No patience required

Clos Cibonne is serious stuff. As the kids say, IYKYK. And if you don’t know, I’m not going to keep it a secret. These are not your typical “summer water” roses. These bottles can age for years, with the already subtle fruit gaining depth and soulfulness that’s worth waiting for.

But with our Sampler Packs, you don’t have to wait. We’ve put together a selection of current vintages and Library Releases so you can go deep down the rabbit hole of these aged bottles – no patience required.

Of course you can also order a la carte, but these Samplers are pretty sweet deals. Grab one or two and add it to your Perma-Case.

July 22, 2025: Don’t even try to resist this Lambrusco!! Come by for a sip during In the Business Tuesday!

Secco Bro Lambrusco 2033

Katie’s Note: As I poured myself a glass, I was blown away at the color and amount of bubbles that filled the glass. The nose is sour cherry candy, prune juice, and something twiggy. It’s exceptionally dry, fizzy and tastes like grape juice. I would compare it to the Wild Arc Concord can, which I also love. Overall, this one is quite lovely and would be AH-mazing to bring to your neighbor’s barbeque!
frank.wine : what Katie said… but if you are a Lambrusco geek, a few fun facts: this one is made from the Lambrusco Grasparossa variety which I think is often considered the most tannic, grippiest, darkest fruited of all the many members of the Lambrusco family. But there may also be a little Fragolino in the blend. What’s Fragolino? It may or may not be the Isabella grape which is part of the Vitis labrusca family. (Lambrusco is not part of this family… it’s Vitis vinifera… got that??) This is the same family as the Concord grape and it’s know for being a little, well, grapey. And yummy. So just ignore all this geekery and go back to Katie’s note. Instructions as follows: Chill it. Pour it. Drink it.

And as usual, we have a bottle open for tasting purposes. A little local love from that’s showing strong 4 days after we initially opening it.

‘s note: Hudson Chatham Winery Los Quemados 2022: The nose is full of daaark chocolate, leather and black olives. This wine has a sneaky high acidity - which also means it’ll hold up really well in your fridge. Its this magic mix of concentration and silkiness without being heavy. Heaps of fruit but with a savory edge to it. If you know the Souhaut Souteronne, this would be an extremely fun side by side (once we get that one back on the shelf.) This wine is very Northern Rhone-ish, Beaujolais-ish…but made a stone’s throw away from Copake! 

Today is the 4th day of it being open and I would say it’s just as good as the first. The nose is still all dark chocolate covered cranberries. There’s a raspberry vinaigrette note with tart, bright acid. It’s easy enough to drink this by the pool, ever so slightly chilled, daydreaming about being on a beach vacation. But don’t count it out as a pairing with the hearty fare - a big slab of beef, or mushrooms.

June 1, 2025: Hello Tuesday! And ciao Italia! We’re going to the southern part, of the boot, to Lazio, the hills around Rome with this bottle of 2020 Podere Orto Trivium Rosso. ‘s note: smells like a warm day, in a vineyard, right after a thunderstorm. It smells like grapevines and blackberry leaves. The palate is a lot lighter than I anticipated, like cherry fruit leather, tart blueberries and blackberries. This wine has deep, complex tannins that bring a bite while still being a little light and fruity. I’m sure any regular person would recommend this wine if you’re having some fancy, old-timey meat centered dish. It’s so rustic and would be perfect.

(i.e. excellent for any upcoming bbqs you might be planning.)

And it’s open for ITBT Tuesday sample sipping.

A refresher on ITBT: if you are in the food, wine, or hospitality business, select up to 3 bottles of wine or spirits and get them at a 25% mark up from cost.

The Summer Samplers are hitting the shelves!! First up, the Kinda-Fancy 6-Pack Sampler clocking in at $95 + tax.

This 6* pack is curated to give you the most yummy bang for you buck because who doesn’t love a really good deal on some exceptional bottles? You get to try some things that maybe you’d glaze over in your day-to-day picks like the a crushable red from Portugal, an Oregon orange, English bubbles, or a can (or two) of juicy Concord from vineyards just across the Hudson. On average, I’d say these are the underdogs, the unsung heroes of the shop, things I would recommend and day of the year and don’t get enough love. They’re just a little bit off the beaten path but seriously worth your time. And if fun stuff is what you’re looking for... look no more! The “kinda fancy six bottle case” is here! - Katie R.

Some tasting notes will be included along with the individual price of each wine, making it super easy to locate the ones you’d like to have again. -

Price: $95 (+tax and shipping if relevant)

*We’re calling this a 6-pack, but it really includes 5 bottles and 2 375ml cans (the equivalent of a full bottle.)

Please note - NO FURTHER DISCOUNTS APPLY TO THIS CASE. If you buy this case in addition to other wines there’s a chance that a discount will be processed on this item. THAT IS A MISTAKE and we’ll need to invoice you for the correct amount.

Please also keep in mind, this is a set case. The only time we’ll make substitutions is if something is out of stock and we need to swap in another wine.

June 24, 2025: It’s Tuesday!! Hopefully you know the deal by now: if you are in the food, wine, or hospitality business, take advantage of our ITBT deal:

Select up to 3 bottles of wine or spirits and get them at a 25% mark up from cost. If you’re not near the shop, you can call in your order and we’ll send you an invoice. It has to be paid today, but you can pick it up any time.

And as usually, we have a bottle open for tasting purposes. In this case, one that goes very well with sweltering weather: Sol Real Rose Vinho Verde Rose! ‘s note: It smells like a good time; full of crispy, crunchy nectarines and tropical fruits. It’s so light, coming in at a whopping 10.5%, fizzy, and leans more off-dry (which makes it more fun in my opinion!) Bursting with strawberry, baked rhubarb, and candied watermelon, this baby makes for the perfect pool accessory. Serve super chilled or throw an ice cube in there- Shhh don’t tell anyone I told you that!
frank.wine’s additional note: the ice is a-okay!! Make a piscine - a big glass full of ice cubes - and add the wine. Having a lot of ice in the glass slows the speed at which it melts… so you can keep the wine chilled without too much dilution. I learned this trick from the French - and if they approve it, who are we to say no???
