July 9, 2008 Thanking a Fire-fighter!
Edward with Sarah, the volunteer captain of the Yorkville Station of the Anderson Valley Fire Department (and Yorkville Hi-Rollr wine club member) in quieter days. With as many as 131 fires still burning in Mendocino County alone, Sarah and all the other voluteers have been extremely busy. Please consider helping to support our local volunteers by attending the 5th Annual Yorkville Highlands Wine Festival, as the fire department is a main beneficiary of this non-profit event. Here at Yorkville Cellars, we have been spared the worst with the nearest blazes about 20 miles away. Even so, there were a few days where we could not see the hills less than one mile accross the valley. July 4th Special - Best of Class at $17.76
Three of our wines just received Best of Class at the Califonia State Fair, one of the oldest and largest wine competitions in the US. Our Eleanor of Aquitaine, Cabernet Franc and Malbec all were awarded. As our way of celebrating Independence Day, our July special is to offer a mix of the three wines at $17.76 per bottle. TWELVE bottles at $17.76 each Four bottles each of 2006 Eleanor of Aquitaine, 2005 Cabernet Franc and 2005 Malbec, with free shipping. Just $213.12 Saves $93!
SIX bottles at $17.76 each Two bottles each of above selection Just $106.56 Saves $37!
Monthly Special offer ends promptly on Thur. July 31, 2008 and applies to web and telephone orders (707) 894-9177. Special offer can not be combined with any other discount. July Wine Cartoon © The New Yorker Collection 2007 Peter C. Vey from cartoonbank.com. All Rights Reserved.
