Dear Enotecans,

Quick Note before we get to the Long Shadows:  Last week’s email for Vigilance had a slight problem – the order form wasn’t working!  We fixed it, so if you didn’t get a chance to order Vigilance at 60% off retail, click through to here to check out the deal and place an order.

Long Shadows Gift Opportunity!

This has got to be one of the coolest gifts for the Washington Wine Lover on your list.  I apologize for talking about Christmas gifts so early in the season, but this is available right now and won’t last.  If you buy it for yourself then we don’t have to discuss the holiday, and we won’t judge.  Get a load of this:

This six bottle ‘Horizontal’ collection is impressive!  Each of these wines retails between $45-65, and to get this whole set with the wood box it’s only:

 Retail: $339.99 / Member Case Each: $288.99

Wine Club Members:  This is a 6 pack case, that means that Member Pricing is only $288.99 for the box!  That’s 15% off for Members on this offer.  The savings equals one of the bottles of wine in the box, or if you signed up for Anniversary Red it would pay for your first month.  The wine club is a great way to learn about wine and beer, experience a variety of unique wine & beer, broadening your horizons.  Come by this weekend and try a Red Flight and/or White Flight to get an idea what the different levels are about!

If you’re not already a member, read more about the Club, including the different levels and options…
