April 22, 2025: It’s In the Business Tuesday!

Our weekly step is pretty fabulous, if we do say so ourselves. We wanted a beautiful bottle to greet this beautiful weather. No holding back, we are bringing out the bubbles!

If you follow the off-the-beaten track USA wine scene, then you probably already know that Vermont is a hot bed (or really, a cool-bed) of organically grown hybrids, grape/fruit co-ferments, and everything old-is-new-again wine/cider-making. This is where the scene started – with Deirdre Heekin’s wines. This one – Grace & Favor – is one of my absolutely favorites among many favorites. Its elegant and sophisticated yet highly drinkable in a “just enjoy it” way. It’s what 7UP or Sprite or KoolAide would taste like if any of those were made by magic elves using all-natural ingredients: all lemon/lime, sweet-tart, lip-smaking goodness.

Come by for a sip and 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.

April 8, 2025: It’s In the Business Tuesday! In addition to the discount situation, we have a Tuesday bottle open: Vignobles Arbeau On L’Appelle Negrette

From the Southwest of Spain, we bring you this little known Negrette grape. Sort of a cross between Pinot Noir and Syrah with a twist or two from the black pepper grinder. Come by for a sip… you won’t Negrette it!! (Bad puns are always free at Copake Wine Works!!)

As for ITBT Tuesday discount:
- applies to anyone in the food, beverage, or hospitality biz

- choose up to 3 bottles of wine or spirits and pay a 25% mark up from cost. (Roughly a 20% discount.)

- If you’re not near the shop, call in your order and we’ll send you an invoice. Pay today, but pick up any time.

- in NYC and don’t need your wine right away? DM me what you want and I’ll send you an invoice… and bring it to you eventually!!

Spring is finally in the air, at least for a few days each week, so it’s time for the updated Seasonal Sampler Cases. I’ve lightened up the $150 case with wines that compliment rising temperatures and sunny weather. But always the realists, we’ve kept a few fuller-bodied options in the mix for this very transitional season.

And if you’re feeling fancy, there’s my $300 Fancy Pants Case stocked with my current favorite classic and cool kid selections. And as always, you’ll get way more than you pay for.

And we don’t have a snappy graphic for it, but we’re adding something new to the line up: a Kinda Fancy 6-Pack Sampler with some of Katie’s favorites. This one is absolutely ridiculous value at $95.

April 1, 2025: It’s In the Business Tuesday! In addition to the ITBT 3-bottle discount for anyone in the food, booze, or hospitality business (scroll down for those details), we a have fab bottle open for our Tuesday tasting. ‘s note is too tasty not to post:

Monte Maletto Vecchie Tonneaux Vino Bianco 2022: Sunshine through the clouds in the glass. Like a beacon of hope on a slightly gloomy day. The nose is full of pineapple, soft peach, minerals and saline- not in an ocean way, more like a cool mountainside on the rocky hills of northern Italy way. It blankets your tongue like a snug bug in a rug. So rich, so soft. There are definitely overly ripe granny smith apples, a little tart and dare I say sweet? Don’t come for me!! (Ok, not actually “sweet sweet” but really ripe and sunny.) Imagine an apple pear tarte.. It would have a kind of buttery flakey crust and baked pears and apples with crispy torched sugar on top! I don’t know everything but this, I am certain of.. If you come into the shop asking for a white wine, this is where we’ll end up.

ITBT Tuesday details:

If you’re in the food, booze, or hospitality business, you buy any 3 bottles of wine or spirits 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.

March 25, 2025: Time for another In the Business Tuesday!! a.k.a. ITBT for the thumb-typing challenged.

If you’re in the food, booze, or hospitality business head over to the shop and any 3 bottles of wine or spirits at a 25% mark up from cost.

For the mathematically challenged, that’s usually a 20% discount. Maybe more, maybe a little less depending on the bottle.

Not in Copakeland today? 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 always, we will have a bottle of something open to taste. Today, it’s a 23 year old bottle from Portugal - Quinta da Boavista Terras de Tavares Tinto 2002. Oh hello there!! Pair it with its baby sibling, the Rufia Tinto 2021. We have a handful of bottles left from a recent Feiring Line Wine Society line up!

Tuesday, March 18: When we say the Berger Gelber Muskateller is springtime in a glass, we mean it!! Very on point for today’s In the Business Tuesday!

If you’re in the food, booze, or hospitality business, brave the winds and pop in, have a taste and select any 3 bottles of wine or spirits at a 25% mark up from cost. Any bottles. No hold backs. If it’s on the shelf it’s fair game.

If you’re not in Copakeland today, 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.

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

February 25, 2025: It’s In The Business Tuesday (ITBT) at the shop. Which means If you’re in the food, booze, or hospitality business, you ca. pick out any 3 bottles and buy them at a 25% mark up from cost.

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, we always have something fun open to sample. Today, it’s sunshine in a bottle Rainbow Juice from in Australia. It’s a kitchen sink blend with a high level of slurpability.

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

You want to learn about wine? There’s no better way than to just drink it. Especially bottles that get you out of your comfort zone. Whether you love it, hate it or are left in a state of meh over it, you’ll learn something from every bottle you open.

Sure, you could buy a book, take a class or try for a certification, but joining a good wine club is much more fun. And honestly, it can be much more effective.

That’s the basic idea behind our Well-Edited Wine Club. It’s $65 to $80 per month depending on where you are.

I pick out bottles I’m digging and send them to you. You pop them open as you like and tune into my tasting videos or read the notes.

If you’re already deep into wine study, I’ll include “rabbit hole” level notes for those that want it. And as a member, you’ll be invited to regular ask-me-anything hours where we can burrow even further.

It’s 2 bottles per month, consolidated and sent on a rolling every-other-month basis, 4 bottles at a time in order to minimize shipping and packaging costs. You can also pile a la carte offerings into each box with little to no addition fees. Follow the profile link for all the details.

Would love to share some bottles with you – so consider joining! - Christy Frank

February 18, 2025: If you’re in the food, booze, or hospitality business, welcome to In The Business Tuesday (ITBT) at the shop.

How’s it work?

Whatever you have been eyeing, come by the shop on a Tuesday (aka today) and get any 3 bottles at a 25% mark up from cost.

Looking for Barolo, Burgundy, Bordeaux? We have that covered. We also have Blaufrankish, Baco Noir, Brianna if you’re looking for B’s that are a bit further flung.

And as a little bonus for this making the trek, we always have something fun open to sample. Today, it’s the carbonic Listan Negro from on the Canary Island of Lanzarote. This method of termination takes the volcanic edge off the grape and adds a juicy fruity note. It’s like an island vacation without getting on an airplane.

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.)

NOTE: this is for in-shop pick ups only.

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

Proof that wine lasts longer than we often give it credit for. We opened it on a Tuesday and it’s still going strong - with no special pumps or magical machines. Just an open bottle. On the counter. Doing its tasty thing. Come by for a sip!

‘s note: Smells like salty peaches. Bright and spunky all while being sooo smooth and silky. It’s like the love child of lemon curd and unripe pear. And the acid! Very well rounded. Maybe even.. perfect?

For anyone worried about Bones and the extended lunch, she's all well and good - just had a little hematoma on her ear that needed to be drained. She may not be too crazy about the sock on her head, but we think she looks very cute.!!!
