Mission Codename Reach out and touch faith
GAME ON!
Foundation is NO more. Maybe we can do some SPY work and “tactically acquire” more in the future ;-)
Hang on to your britches, your skirts, pantsuits, and tracksuits, we’re diving into uncharted 75% OFF territory! Yet another EPIC Napa Cabernet deal is coming in hot! From the dusty land of Rutherford, no less!
Break out the TI-83 and do the math. Once upon a time, it was $160. Today? Not $100. Not $75. Nor $50. Try just FORTY dollars! Over $120 savings!! These are the deals we do backflips for. The stuff of legends, a story you’ll pass on to your grandkids one day.
Empyreum is one of those projects we have very little intel on, but we do know this. It drinks like a champ! Sourced from a single vineyard in Rutherford - that’s not surprising. In a land populated by big shots like Inglenook, BV, Freemark Abbey, Alpha Omega, Caymus, and Scarecrow this seems too good to be true. Yet… here we are.
The winemaker is up-and-coming Miguel Caratachea of Punch Vineyards and Bougetz Cellars, with earlier stints at Frogs Leap and Stonegate. Hailing from the extraordinary 2019 vintage, this pops with all manner of luscious black fruit. Deep blackberry, ripe black cherry, exotic woods, dusty spices, and sweet vanilla bean. Coupled with the perfect acidity, a nice treatment of oak, and of course OUR PRICE. $40?! You’ll be feeling like you got away with something.
Honestly, our brains are still numb with disbelief. Lay claim to your share of this one. It will not last!
