New arrivals, Father's Day tasting, Skellig Gin spotlight, allocations, Sangria Month specials, and Barrel Club updates.
Hello Friends,
Summer is officially here, and things have been busy around the shop! Between new wines arriving, exciting whiskey releases hitting the shelves, and customers stopping by to sample something new at our tasting bar, it's been a fun few weeks.
One of our favorite parts of owning Spirit Shop is getting to introduce people to products they may never have discovered otherwise. Whether it's a unique bottle of wine for dinner, a special Father's Day gift, or your next favorite everyday pour, we love helping you find something new.
This month we're featuring three refreshing Sangrias as our "Wine of the Month with a Twist," perfect for backyard cookouts, beach trips, and summer gatherings. We've also added some outstanding new wines and spirits, including a pair of highly regarded Chardonnays, Tequila Ocho Plata, and Hotel Tango Vodka.
For the whiskey fans, we've still got a few exceptional limited releases available, and our Father's Day Store Pick Tasting on June 13th is shaping up to be one of our favorite events of the year. We're also excited to see new members joining our Barrel Club as we continue building a lineup of exclusive store picks and member benefits.
Thank you for continuing to support local. Every bottle purchased, tasting attended, social media share, and recommendation to a friend helps us continue building something special here in Annapolis.
Cheers,
Kris & Steve
