CAL SHINES!
September 27, 2007
So the big
question around the store has been "Who is Craig?" Craig, you will
recall, was mentioned in the Trio Infernal e-mail last week. You
will all be happy to know that the "handsome silver haired gentleman from Grass
Valley"...according to Renee, did manage to timely secure his order
for a set of the Trio Infernal. Just to update you, we wiped out
everything on the west coast, but a little more of both the 1/3 and 2/3 will be
arriving from the east coast within the next two weeks. If you did not
have a chance to order > here is the formula! 1/3 + 1/3 +1/3 + 2/3 = 1
2/3 = 10% ($224.82) If you missed out or need more info.....don't
miss the "Best Spanish Wine of the Year" 2006 -
El Mundo (Spain's leading newspaper). > www.thewineconsultant.com/newsletter/325
