In this week’s The Pour column, Eric Asimov of the New York Times features a tasty dozen of unique, obscure grapes.  You’ve probably never heard of them, let alone knew you needed them.  But you do need them.  And Frankly Wines currently stocks 9 of these obscurities making us your almost-one-stop-shop.  We can’t prove it, but we probably have more obscurities per square foot than any other shop in the city.  Our accountant might not think this is so fantastic, but we think that’s pretty cool.

To help nudge you towards trying something you never knew you needed, we’re offering a special discount on these wines over the next week:

Pick up all 9 and we’ll give you the 10% case discount.  (This would total roughly $170 before tax.  And we'll do free delivery anywhere in Manhattan.)
Buy any 6 and you’ll get a 6% discount. 
Buy any 3 and we’ll give you a 3% discount. 

Please note, on-line orders will be manually adjusted to reflect the discounts because our system just isn't fancy enough to handle our spur-of-the-moment non-standard pricing decisions.

Frankly Wines loves Chateau Musar! So much so that the label is ensconced in the stained glass mural above the cork wall.

Because we want to share the love, we're putting together Musar Mini Cellars.

Each one includes:

Can’t make our tasting of Puffeney’s whites but still want to get a Jura fix?  Pick up a Puffeney 3-Pack. 

This is an excellent overview of the unique whites from this isolated French wine region.  If you like these, especially the Savagnin, then you may want to consider a bottle of vin jaune or vin de paille for your next special occasion.

You’ve fasted.  You’ve cleansed.  You’ve completed your detox regime. 

And now you have to make your way back into the real world – where food must be chewed and liquids are not the main course. 

Make your transition a little easier – and a lot more pleasant –  and pick up a Frankly Wines Reverse Detox Kit. 

6 wines.  2 different plan options.  Food suggestions.  (You remember what food is, right?)
