February / March 2000
"The
Top 25
From 1999"
Page 1's
Lead Stories:
'97 Ports Arrive
in the US and the watchword is "Delicious"!
This edition features our "Top 25 Selling Wines from 1999"
along with a bevy of "New Discoveries for 2000" waiting to
grace your table and meld with your favorite cuisines in this Millennium Year
2000!
Page 2
: Last
Chance for '98 Bordeaux Futures at 1er Tranche Pricing:
With our original stocks nearly depleted,
repurchase will see increases of 15-25% on the most hotly sought after wines.
We've also only now received some Bordeaux
"Super-Second" Mixed Cases originally
intended for Xmas 1999. Frequent Buyers gain as we slash the prices by 20 and
25% to facilitate moving these products on out the door. Don't miss them!!
Page
3: With a headline
of "This Much Character for This Little Money is Rarely Found" we
feature the Rich and Full-Flavored Whites from California's
Santa Barbara Winery which Showcases the Classy
Santa Ynez Style. All at Frequent Buyers 20% Off
Discount Prices!!
Page 4:
Continuation
of our Page 1 story on the arrival of the '97 Vintage Ports
to the US scene. Featuring exclusively for the Delaware market the Port
brands of Gould Campbell
and Romariz,
we've priced them both at a fraction of the "big boys" like Dow and
Fonseca. Rated in the 90's by the Wine Spectator, these two ports are the
vintage's "best buys!" Don't miss them!! Our Saturday In-Store
Tasting Schedule also begins on this page.
Page
5: Continuing our
line up of Saturday In-Store Tastings, this page also contains our Frequent
Buyers Club Mixed-Case Newsletter Special with this issue featuing the
indescribable richness and fruitiness of Rheinhessen
Rieslings. We've combined four beauties here
into a great mixed case at tremendous Frequent Buyers savings, so don't
miss it!!
Page 6:
Begins
our lead feature on the "Top 25 Wines of
1999" with Europe
stealing the show with unsurpassed value and quality coming out of the
Continent. Simply put, it was an astounding year
if your were a consumer of fine wines. Maybe
the best in memory. You could have kept your
purchases under $20 all year and have drunk some of the most refined and
delicious products imaginable. Under $10 and the selection of great varietal
wines coming out of France, Italy and Spain were enough to put the California
producers to absolute shame!
We relive it here, so don't miss out on these great bargains!!
Page
7: The Wine
Seller's "Wine
Seller's "Under $10 Picks of the Month"
are featured with two great Spanish "finds" from Pares Balta
and Palacio del Conde. Could Spain be
making a comeback after years of being Australia's stepchild in retail sales?
If these two wines are any indication, the Aussie's have plenty to be worried
about! There's also a review of our first Funky, Fun Dinner of 2000 which
showcased the wines of Alsace's Dopff au Moulin.
Page 8: A
Special Purchase Enables a 25% Mixed Case Discount on
Chile's DeMartino Varietal Line. These are great every day drinkers, so be
sure to check them out! Also our Funky, Fun Dinners and Scheduled Tastings offer
incredible opportunities to Eat, Taste and Learn, so get a look at the lineup
for the first few months of 2000. But get your reservations in early as
these are always
fully
subscribed sell-outs!
Page 9: Our "New Wine Discoveries for 2000", all at Frequent Buyers Club 20% Discount Prices. They're from Burgundy, Bordeaux, Provence and the Rhone River Valley!!
Page 10: Our
"New Wine Discoveries for 2000"
continues with additional
selections from the Rhone, along with specially chosen wines from Argentina, Australia and
California. There's also Kenny
Kohl's "In the Cellar"
Column titled "Best
Values? I've Found 'Em!"
with his "finds" of wines that are stellar examples of their types,
but at prices that make their everyday enjoyment a possibility. One's a great French
White Graves and the other a stunning Italian
Barbera d'Asti. Read about and try them both. You'll be glad that you did!!
Page
11: Has a feature
on the New Value-Priced Varietals from the Marquis de Goulaine of
Loire Valley fame. There's a Cabernet, Merlot and tasty Syrah
Rose that are all value-priced at an
incredible Frequent Buyers Price
of only $5.59! How do they sell such good wines
so cheaply??
Page
12: And this issue
of the Kreston Konnection
concludes with an article
about Krestons being recognized as "One of
the Top Wine Shops in America" by Food
& Wine Magazine
for the
second year in a row! As nice as the recognition of
your peers can be, it doesn't compare with a positive word coming from the mouth
of a happily satisfied customer. That and your continued patronage are the types
of recognition that we strive for. By the way, how're we doing??
