Calling All Wine Corks!

Congratulations and Many Thanks

 

 

Our month-long fundraiser for breast cancer, leukemia and lymphoma research was a big success.  We asked you to "bring us your corks" and you rose to the challenge.  We began with 8,000 from our display front window and you added an additional 10,107 corks to that collection.  We said we would multiply the total number of corks collected by $.02 per cork and divide the money evenly between our two special causes. 

 

 

So, as promised, we will be writing checks in the amount of $181.07 each to the Central New York chapters of Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation and the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. We'll also include an explanation about our fundraiser and how we plan on making this an annual event.  Thanks to everyone who brought us corks.  Here are the names of the winners in our random prize drawing:

First Prize:  Savvy Sampler Case of 12 Mixed Wines: Donna Winks
Second Prize: Tailgate Bag of Six Red Wines:  Kathryn Davis
Third Prize: One bottle of white and one bottle of red wine: Anna Conroy
Fourth Prize: Pink Metrokane Wine Opener Set: Jean Finizio
Fifth through Tenth Prizes: $10.00 Savvy Wine Cellar Gift Cards: Diane Caryl, Beth Chernoff, Elaine Driscoll, Phyllis Gustafson-Albrecht, Morgen Kemp and Nancy Smith

 

This Week at The Tasting Bar
As the weather turns colder and the wind blows a little harder, we're turning to drinking wines that are a bit bigger and are more medium-to-full bodied.  These are wines that are sure to warm you on a windy November night. Drop by The Tasting Bar tonight from 5-8 p.m. and Saturday from 1-5 for a sip or two.  Click here to see the tasting notes for this weekend.  


12% Tuesday-November 10
Next Tuesday's 12% discounted wine selection is our biggest ever!  That's because we are going to be discounting all of the End of Bin Special wines in our shop AND other specially selected wines that we have marked with a yellow sticker.  If you're a savvy shopper, you know a good deal when you spot it and this is one deal you can't miss.  But hurry in between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. because once Tuesday is over...so is this sale!  Don't forget Tuesday, November 10!

How Savvy Are You
Thought we forgot, didn't you, because we omitted them from last week's newsletter.  We didn't forget but, rather, had a couple of technical problems to iron out.  So, in case you've been holding your breath waiting for the answers, here's the link to find out how you scored.

 

 

Hope to see you in the shop this week.  Thanks for your support of The Savvy Wine Cellar. We appreciate your interest and your business!
 
CinCin!
Allison and Dale
