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!
