Ian's Best 12 Reds of the Moment
Aug 24, 2022
While it might be the height of summer, red wine season is now approaching and in celebration of National Red Wine Day.
Time to plan into the season and get your wines organized - Greater Los Angeles delivery is $20 flat on orders over $100, and California shipping is $30 flat-rate per 12-bottle box on orders over $100, with an additional 10% off on any qualifying 12 bottles. That is how much we want your continued business.
If I got locked in my own wine supply and had to drink my way out - this is where I would start...
