This week, we are taking notes from Ina Garten who is definitely winning at social isolation.

This week: Ina Garten was the Cocktail Hour inspiration we needed this week. The Giant Cosmopolitan is not meant to be shared, as no one is coming by anyways. Don't forget to use the "good" vodka and remember that any hour is cocktail hour in quarantine! New this week - we have a few 6pk selections on offer. In short, the wines are picked for you and offered at a discount. They are well curated, encourage exploration, and are delicious. See below.

Important note.. we will be closed this Sunday, April 12 for Easter, which also happens to be National Grilled Cheese Sandwich day. There truly is something for everyone to be celebrating.

Thank you again to everyone using curbside and delivery services. Thank you to everyone who has visited us, kept distance, and limited contact. Following the CDC's recommendations ensures that we will best be able to get you what you need as time goes on. Life isn't going back to "normal" for awhile longer. We're in it for the long haul, however long this altered version of reality might go on.

Cheers,

The Team at NL

NEW: NORTH LOOP 6PK PICKS

Here for you. With the Stay At Home order extended and the likelihood that we'll be staying home longer than May 4.. we are going to do everything we can to help you drink good stuff, try new things, and keep things fresh.

We will be rolling out some pre-picked assortments for your enjoyment weekly - with an email going out on Mondays.

The benefits :

Get out of your box! Trust us to pick good stuff and you'll try things you might not have normally picked up. Pre-picked packs get better pricing.

We'll include information about the wines with food pairing ideas. And we aren't talking about "this wine tastes like red berries" kind of stuff.. that's your job. We'll tell you the stories, why we picked them, and what makes each wine really cool.

IN THE MEANTIME: You've still got to get through the weekend. Call or email in.. name your price + maybe a few likes and dislikes.. and let us build you an assortment. Easter pairings, grilled cheese pairings, best choices for drinking your feelings.. we got you. Email northloopwine@gmail.com or phone in 612-338-5393. Pick up curbside or use our delivery options.

ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...

Just some good dogs that visited us this week.

(We hear dog photos are a great way to spread cheer)

CALL AHEAD FOR CURBSIDE PICKUP,

SOCIAL DISTANCE WITH DELIVERY.

... remember to have faith that it won't be long before we can take this message outta here :)

Call in your order: Give us a ring or send an email .. tell us what you'd like, and pay over the phone. Call as you're pulling up and just let us know front door or back door and we'll wash our hands and drop your goods in the trunk or the backseat. Easy, just like that.

Don't know what you want? Ask for help, take our recommendations. Tell us what you like, what you're interested in, and your budget. We'll put something good together for you. Pull up and pick up. Again, easy, safe and sanitary.

Call for delivery: The most responsible thing you can do is stay home and let us leave your goods outside your door. C all in your order and have us deliver. Delivery is free for orders over $25 (pre-tax) for anyone within a 5 mile radius. We will deliver outside of this radius for a small surcharge. Of course, with higher volume of delivery demand, we need your patience and understanding that your order's ETA may be longer than usual. Don't forget to tip your driver.. they are going out so you don't have to.

For delivery and curbside.. email northloopwine@gmail.com or call 612-338-5393.

Cheers everyone!
