This week: GQ gave some really awful wine advice and wine people all over the world are shaking their firsts, Stanley Tucci shook a disproportionate negroni on Instagram, giving bartenders something to complain about too. More on all of that below. We released another round of pre-picked cases on Tuesday - reach out if you missed that email and are curious what we had to offer.
In other good news, we will be announcing two dates for virtual tastings in the next 2 weeks: Central Coast winemaking champ Andrew Jones of Field Recordings, Wonderwall, and Alloy will be hosting a virtual tasting on Zoom next Wednesday, April 29 at 7pm. Mark your calendars! We will be offering a 6PK Kit to accompany the tasting - look for that email on Sunday.
AND - Monique Huston will be returning online to host a class on Whiskies of the World + happy hour during the week of May 4th. Keep an eye out on more details for that as well.
Spring is springing and at least we're allowed to be outside (at distances and not in groups). This could have all happened back in November, locking us up in the winter - so let's be thankful for that. Keep an eye out for new canned cocktails and wine hitting our shelves. Despite everything that's different right now, glass still isn't allowed in parks and cans are just nicer for boats.
Sending a big cheers to all of the essential employees and healthcare workers out there. Stay safe and everyone keep washing your hands.
Salud,
The Team at NL
