2006 Eric Kent Spring Releases
We love the Eric Kent labels, and we’re even more excited about the wine inside them. Okay, scratch that. We’re equally excited, since these labels are about the best wine labels we’ve ever seen (short of our own upcoming release, which you’ll hear plenty about, eventually). Go check out the Eric Kent wines and treat yourself to a sensory experience that encompasses taste, touch, smell and sight.Can I get some Kent?
Rosé - old vintage clearance
We’re doing a little spring cleaning and the first thing in store is to get the older vintages of Rosé off our shelves as we prepare for some new ones to appear. Not that there’s anything wrong with these 2006s (and in one case, a lovely 05). These are drinking well still, and at 30% off they’re priced to go.Everything’s coming up Rosés…

Coming soon: bloggerpacks 5 and 6!:
Just wanted to give you a heads up that there are two bloggerpacks to be released imminently. They are:
Same grape/different place featuring Syrah, from Wine-Scamp
and
Summer Sippers from Sonoma, from Wannabewino, Sonadora herself
We look forward to revealing the details of these once they’re in stock. Though we’ve had a small hiccup regarding the availability of the Shiraz that Scamp had her eye on, we expect it to be resolved be soon.
wine jargon
Frizzante
From Wikipedia: Frizzante is an Italian wine term term for semi-sparkling wine (as opposed to Spumante, which is generally used for fully sparkling wines). Frizzante wines generally owe their bubbles to a partial secondary fermentation in tank. You might notice a light fizz or tingly sensation on the tongue with a Frizzante wine, compared to the more carbonated sensation that more fully sparkling wines yield.
Scorekage
Okay, so we made up this word yesterday after a great restaurant experience. We brought a bottle of wine with us, expecting to pay a corkage fee. But the restaurant either forgot to charge us the $15, or decided to be nice to us. We scored! Hence, “scorekage” has entered our lexicon. This can also refer to BYO friendly restaurants that don’t charge for corkage under any circumstances.

Cabernet Franc in the news
There’s a good article in this morning’s Food section of the LA Times, on Cabernet Franc. It would be better, of course, if it linked to the three included wines available through d547 (Chateau Hureau Saumur-Champigny, Chateau Vieux Clos, and the Lang & Reed). But we still think you should read the piece — and then you can come back here and buy a sampling of this fantastic and under-appreciated grape variety. And we’ll give you 10% off your entire order should it include any of these wines. Use code LATimes.

Dubious business? Wine stores that employ critics

Congratulations, Jill! Too bad the online version has no pictures. Is the article in the print version longer, or is it just the pictures that make the difference? Regardless, I’m going to check out the print version, too!

Absolutely thrilled for you Jill! Congratulations! I read the online copy, but I will run to the book store tomorrow and pick up a hard copy.

Right On, Jill! Great piece! Is Budo-Kun in the print version?

Congrats!
Licenses are a dang nightmare. I agree, where’re the pictures?
This is definitely better exposure than some silly blog award

I picked up a copy of Entrepreneur today, having forgotten that Jill would be mentioned in it. Then while reading the mag, I came upon the article and it dawned on me. The article occupies about 3/4 of the page, with a nice picture of a smiling Jill occupying the rest.
Mmmmm…what about a Women Wine Blogger Calendar?
