…of WINE!
Tom, Thierry and Mike each picked one of their favorite wines to create a gift case for under $120! It’s great as a gift for someone during this holiday season (or a great gift to give yourself). The case includes:
2008 Quattro Mani Montepulciano d’Abruzzo (Tom’s pick- a red wine from Italy, that’s zesty just like him)
2007 Domaine de la Guicharde Cotes du Rhone (Thierry’s pick- a red from the Rhone Valley. French, warm and well balanced, just like our sweet Rautureau)
2008 Simoneau Sauvignon Touraine (Mike’s pick- a white wine that’s sophisticated just like him)
If you’re interested in getting one of these cases, contact Pike and Western Wine Shop.
**you’ll also receive a “In the Kitchen with Tom and Thierry” one of a kind apron with your purchase!
Happy Holidays
