TGIF and Library Specials
Hello Friends!
We say, "Life happens over a bottle of wine." These words could not be more accurate. There is a lot of real-life going around right now. As promised, I have some incredible specials for you this week:
Our TGIF wine is the 2017 La Paloma Syrah. I was trying to hold on to this wine and age it to perfection before re-releasing it, but it is all yours. First come, first served. $25/bottle-6 bottle max.
Speaking of aged to perfection, we have been saving this wine for a special occasion, so you can consider this a "Pandemic Special." Our 2014 Pay Dirt. This perfectly aged wine is a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. The bottle itself is gorgeous and will make a great gift. $55/bottle plus your wine club discount.
Please let me know if you would like to pick up, stash, ship, or have free local delivery for both of these wines. Regarding shipping, until the end of the year, 50% OFF SHIPPING for wine club members. The more wine you ship, the more wine you save. If you put an order together online, I will adjust the shipping.
A lot of people have asked me if we will defy the public health order and remain open. Here is my answer: I would love to, I wish I could, and I am in complete solidarity with folks who are standing up for their very essential livelihoods. I don't think I can take another setback (losing my license), and I really can't afford a hefty fine. I do not believe that taking the virus seriously (which we do) and keeping our business open safely (which we do) are mutually exclusive. Nobody questions the morality of businesses that are allowed to be open. However, I have been accused of not caring for the elderly, not taking the virus seriously, and not doing my part. Every business is essential to someone. I have essential and non-forgiving obligations. I especially have the most amazing and essential employees who have children and obligations of their own. My heart is breaking for those businesses who had to throw in the towel, and it hurts just the same for those whose families have been shattered by COVID.
Yesterday, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors voted to send a letter to the Governor requesting to remove San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties from the Southern California Region of the COVID-19 map and to create a new "sub-region" for the Central Coast. The Public Health Officers for all three Central Coast counties have also submitted a request to the State Public Health officials. Please sign this petition.
We will keep our hours the same because we are hopeful that we will be back on the deck soon. Tina has the week off, so Joey and I will be filling in her hours. As long as there is no consumption, we can still have 25% occupancy, so come by and hang out, pick up some bottles, ship a case or two!
Wednesday 4-7

Cheers to you!
