This weekend you’ll no doubt be eating, drinking, watching fireworks and, generally, celebrating.  Hopefully, you’ll take a moment or two to reflect on the remarkable adoption of the Declaration of Independence – a document that, across more than two wild centuries, continues to resonate with an importance that is almost inconceivable.

What you’re celebrating isn’t just liberty, it’s also the possibility of happiness, a state of being so important to Jefferson and company that they decided to directly reference it at the end of one of history’s most powerfully crafted sentences; “…Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

The Pursuit of Happiness – A Killer 6-Pack Sampler for $75

In the spirit of Jefferson’s America, we’ve decided to put together a six-pack of wines to carry us through this weekend of celebration and into a summer of all-out sloppy eat-and-drink happiness. You’ll get two bottles each of the following wines:

Domaine Gramonen Rose, ‘Pompon’, 2009

Holy cow – this is the best Rose I’ve ever had. I mean it. Domaine Gramonen is one of the hippest, cultiest wineries in France. You’ll know why as soon as you try this wine. Dry and concentrated – a beautiful salad of strawberry, raspberry and watermelon on the nose and a ripe, complex mouthful of fruit, acidity and minerality.  Only 5 cases in the entire state – and we’ve got them all! Buy some before I drink it out from under you!  $18/Bottle

Fondo Antico Grillo Parlante, Sicily 2008

This is the Gatorade of Italian whites – thirst quenching, completely refreshing, one sip and you’ll be dunking from the fowl line… ok that last part might not be true. This super-juicy little Grillo sports a beautiful pear, pink grapefruit and mineral profile and loves to be opened on super-hot summer days, at parties and picnics and with all sorts of food – especially grilled shellfish. $14.25/bottle

Les Traverses de Fontanes, Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Chug-a-lug! Les Traverses redefines easy-drinking! Pull the cork for your friends and watch euphoria spread as they bury their noses in a glass full of cherry pie and milk chocolate. This killer little cab with cozy right up to anything you’re grilling. $9.00/bottle

We will offer this sampler at the shop until supplies run out.
