New Arrivals!

     We haven't done a new arrivals list in awhile, so here's a list of the fancy new pinot noir arrivals.....the ones that snubbed you in highschool....the kind of wine that would be played by James Spader or William "Sweep the Leg Johnny" Zabka in an 80's movie.

The Polarity Guy

David Ingber Art Opening this Saturday!

We're excited to announce a new art show now up on the CoWineCo walls.  Join us this Saturday from 4-6pm to meet the artist, David Ingber, swirl wine, and stare at his gorgeous works of art.  Oh, one more cool thing, see those pieces above?  They're interactive.  Yup, you can change the composition by rearranging the magnetic pieces on the canvas. 

David Ingber Art Opening

Don't You Look Striking Today

The looming WGA strike is no longer looming but here, and many of our writerly friends and customers are already feeling the pinch.  So, while this nasty strike business is going on, present your WGA card at the bar and get a dollar off your glass of wine.  Go on, fulfill the stereotype that writers drink too much...maybe you can stare out a window longingly and explain to the rest of the people in the bar how misunderstood you are.

 Yes, our European friends celebrate Inventory's Day today on the birthday of Hedy Lamarr, stunning film actress and inventor of the first form of 'spread spectrum', a key to modern wireless communication.  It's really gotta suck to be drop dead gorgeous AND a genius, never knowing whether to make the science fair or the red carpet party.  Ahh.....I know it too well.

Lazy Sunday Tasting

Sunday the 11th

$12/person

4 wines and gourmet cheeses from Auntie Em's Marketplace

Our Sunday tastings will now feature slightly higher-end wine selections. Our Friday tastings get a little too loud to discuss the wines in great detail (we're not complaining), so if wine knowledge is your grail, Sundays are the best tastings for you. Call or email Sunday for selections.

And remember, every Wednesday from 4-9pm you can choose any wine in the store and pop it open for no corkage charge!

Oh, and also remember, we're now open until 11pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays

The Poll Booth - The Hundred Dollar Question

     Well, last we left you in the polls, we were just wondering what your drink was.  What is that you just automatically order as you belly up to a bar.  36% of you said red wine (teacher's pets), 19% of you said you go for the clear liquors....the vodkas, the gins, the straight grain alcohols.  15% of you went with the beer, 14% of you proclaimed brown liquor as your drinkin' buddy (i'm with you there), 10% white wine, 4% bubbly, and 2% 'The Bone' which is some weird tobasco drink that I wouldn't dare try. 

     So, the hundred dollar question....a friend is giving you a hundred dollar gift of wine that you somehow, by some freaky chance, can control.  Would you go for that one fantastic bottle or a dozen table wines? Vote here
