Dear Friends in Wine,

January has certainly come in hot - both literally and figuratively. And while cooler temperatures are coming, I invite you into the shop to find wines that will whisk you away to a relaxing getaway like the Beaujolais region in France where you can sip an exotic Beaujolais Blanc from Sébastien Besson or indulge in a beach vacation while you savor the the tropical flavors of the Colori Wines Italian White Blend. 

There is undoubtedly, and rightfully so, a heightened sense of unrest and anxiety in our country and certainly for our neighbors in Minnesota. And while these are different than champagne problems, I've been thinking a lot about Taylor Swift and the Eras Tour documentary (now streaming on Disney+ if you haven't seen it). I am moved by Swift's commitment to creating a culture where people's true authenticity, creativity, and gifts are celebrated. I am inspired by her business sense to give over $197 million dollars in bonuses to her entire ERAS tour team. But above all, I have deep gratitude for her devotion to creating a space for love, friendship, and a sincere sense of camaraderie for every person that worked in, and attended, the tour (and beyond). I think we could use more of that right now. Therefore, we're excited to announce a Swiftie Galentine's Day Party coming up on Friday, February 13th! See below for more details. And don't miss an exciting event with Landscape Gardens coming up the weekend of February 20-22!

Sending hugs and of course, a good glass of wine in your hand.
