WINE YOU NEVER KNEW YOU NEEDED

The New York Times Edition


question-mark.jpgIn 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.

THE REVERSE DETOX KIT

Reverse Detox KitYou’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. 

We’ve picked out six wines and lined them up from lightest to heaviest.  You’ll start you out with a light, minerally Muscadet and gradually work your way up to a big, rich Cabernet Sauvignon. 

Take your time with the 30 Day Slow & Steady Program.  Or whip yourself back into form with the 15 Day Quick Start Program.  Or go crazy, invite some friends over, and work your way through the program in one very productive night.

We even include food suggestions to pair with each wine – just in case you need to practice your chewing.

Price: $100

DON'T FEAR THE BOX: You can have your quantity and your quality too

boxes.JPG

Don't fear the box. There's nothing inherent about a wine box (actully, it's a wine bag inside a box) that requires it be filled with not-so-good wine. Yes, that's generally been the case in the past. But these days, we're seeing more and more great box wines every day. Good wines - good enough to put in a bottle - that just happen to come in a box.

Last year we had one on offer, the Roger Perrin Cotes du Rhone. It was such a huge hit that we brought in even more boxes. This year, you can pick up (literllay, because they all have handles) even more.  Whites, reds, even roses!  All are food friendly and great values.

All come in 3-Liter boxes, the equivilent of 4 bottles,with a handy, built-in tap. Take the price, divide it by 4 and feel fiscally responsible, as well as all green and eco-chic. Or just drink it.

Quliaty and quantity - and a handy handle for easy transport.  What more could you want?

Choose from:

Chateau Les Maines Bordeaux Rose (Bordeaux, France):
Price: $38.99/box = $9/75/bottle

Quelu Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 (Chile):
Price: $25.99/box = $6.50/bottle

Blue Coast Chardonnay Vin de Pays de Mediterranee (VdP de Mediterranee, France):
Price: $24.99/box = $6.25/bottle

Wurtz Riesling 2008 (Rheinhessen, Germany):
Price: $24.99/box = $6.25/bottle
