Till Next Year - Happy Holidays!

Hello All!

I will be headed back to California on Monday to spend the holidays with my family.  I am committed to bringing you guys new and better deals in the new year.  My own New Year’s Resolution is to make the DC Wine Collective into a bonafide business with retailer’s licenses, business permits, etc.  This process might take a while, but I think it’ll be worth it.  Optimally, this will mean that I will be able to purchase wines at wholesale, translating to additional savings for the Collective.

We rounded out the end of the year with some terrific wines, including the fantastic 2010 Marcel Lapierre “Raisins Gaulois” Vin de Table, 2010 Grand Veneur “Réserve” Côtes du Rhône, 2004 Dunn Vineyards “Napa Valley” Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 1999 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie “Brune et Blonde” (which I will hopefully be drinking this weekend!).  I’ve gotten some very positive reports from Collective members about one of our previous deals, the 2003 Ridge Vineyards “Santa Cruz Mountains”.

Please expect a new deal in your inboxes in early January.  Till then, have a wonderful holiday season!
