Irony Wines on Special NOW!

We're happy to announce that select Irony Wines are back. Featured over the holiday season last year, they were a big hit, and we're pretty excited to offer them again at an even better deal!

This time, we're featuring Irony Wines' Chardonnay and Merlot for just $5/glass and $22/bottle!

Winemaker's Notes: A distinct and subtle Chardonnay, in a medium full style. It is dry, smoothly textured, well balanced, and quite long on the palate, with a lingering finish. Its flavors are complex and restrained, reminiscent of peach, pear and apple, with overtones of vanilla, toast and spicy oak.  

Winemaker's Notes: The Irony Merlot is a classically styled Merlot with medium body and firm tannins. Rich aromatics of black cherry, currant and plum intermingle with hints of vanilla and cedar. Well-balanced with a lingering finish, flavors of blackberry, licorice and sweet oak compliment the wine's bright acidity and structure. 

Irony Wines is a three-generation California winery that produces great varietals that are approachable and balanced, perfect for every occasion.

Stop in this week and see for yourself what the Irony's all about!

Light It Up Blue for Autism Speaks - 2012

All this week (from April 2 - 8, 2012), all proceeds from sales of Blue Moon will be donated to Autism Speaks as part of their Light It Up Blue campaign!

In celebration of the fifth annual World Autism Awareness Day on April 2, 2012, Light It Up Blue seeks, "To shine a light on autism by raising awareness in communities across North America."

Additionally, many individual communities, businesses, and even just families will be hosting their own events to raise awareness as well as funds for Autism Speaks.

Affecting one in every 110 children (and one in every 70 boys), autism prevalence figures continue to grow. Founded in 2005, Autism Speaks is now the United States' largest autism science and advocacy organization. Autism Speaks remains, "Dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families."

 

With a cause like that, how can you not raise your glass with us?

Irony Wines

This holiday season, we're pleased to announce that we'll be featuring select Irony Wines for our guests. Irony Wines is a three-generation California winery that produces great varietals that are approachable and balanced, perfect for every occasion.

Throughout November and December, we'll be featuring Irony Wines' Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet for just $8.50 a glass.

Winemaker's Notes: A distinct and subtle Chardonnay, in a medium full style. It is dry, smoothly textured, well balanced, and quite long on the palate, with a lingering finish. Its flavors are complex and restrained, reminiscent of peach, pear and apple, with overtones of vanilla, toast and spicy oak.  

Winemaker's Notes: Irony 2010 Monterey County Pinot Noir opens with aromas of red cherry, strawberry and undertones of clove and sage. Rhubarb flavors are layered with accents of red cherry, licorice and berry jam. Firm tannins and crisp acidity deliver a lovely balanced, medium-bodied wine with a smooth finish. 

Winemaker's Notes: The 2009 Irony Merlot is a classically styled Merlot with medium body and firm tannins. Rich aromatics of black cherry, currant and plum intermingle with hints of vanilla and cedar. Well-balanced with a lingering finish, flavors of blackberry, licorice and sweet oak compliment the wine's bright acidity and structure. 

Winemaker's Notes: The Irony Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon opens with wonderfully fresh aromas of blackberry jam, plum and red licorice followed by delicate rose petal notes. This full-bodied wine, with firm tannins and acidity, delivers blackberry and ripe plum flavors coupled with hints of dried sage and sweet vanilla.

This holiday season, unwind after a long day of shopping and enjoy a glass of Irony.
