Tomorrow (Wed. June 27th) Evening's "Judgment of Morro Bay" Blind Wine Tasting (celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Judgment of Paris that forever changed the trajectory of California wine) was sold out, but we just had a cancellation, so there are 4 tickets available!

At 6pm sharp, we will gather at our Tasting Lounge in Morro Bay with a blind tasting, featuring 4 rounds of award-winning wines (8 wines in total) - see if you can determine which ones are from California and which ones are from France (whoever gets the most right will win a prize!), as well scoring all the wines so we can determine the overall winners. You'll each get a cheese plate to enjoy during the tasting. After the Tasting, you are welcome to stay to enjoy a private viewing of “Bottle Shock”, based on the Judgment of Paris blind wine tasting competition that shocked the wine world in 1976. We'll have popcorn for you, and you can order additional wines by the glass.

Advanced Tickets are $30 per person/$15 per person for Wine Club Members. Enter code "FANATICS" at checkout for 20% off!

Happy Mother's Day!

Back in my real estate development days, I'll always remember a study I read that concluded "home" was the 2nd most powerful word in the English language - I took that as a challenge to turn one of the most basic human needs (shelter) from something that was just a house into a home, and I like to think that I usually succeeded in that task. But today, let's focus on the word that was deemed the most powerful word in the English language - "Mom".

Whether it's your Mom, or one of the many people in your lives that helped play that role, Moms are pretty special.

My Mom (Mutti) loved Rosé (now that she has dementia, she no longer drinks), particularly the Weißherbst that is grown around the Bodensee (aka Lake of Constance) where I was born and raised as a young child. While my Rosés aren't exactly the same, she really loved mine (she was very picky about her Rosés).

In honor of my Mutti, and Moms everywhere (yes, Pet Moms count too, as does anyone who loves a nice Rosé), we're offering 10% OFF any of our Rosés (Wine Club Members save 20%-45%!) - choose from:

2021 Rosé of Sangiovese (Library Selection)
2024 Rosé of Sangiovese
2024 Rosé of Mourvèdre
2025 Rosé of Graciano (NEW RELEASE)

(plus $15 flat rate shipping in case you forgot to get Mom something special!)

Order here: www.absolutioncellars.com

And if you happen to be in Morro Bay this week, enjoy $10 Rosés by the Glass - we'll be open every day from Noon until 6pm (and if you stop in today, please wish my Better Half Tania Coulombe a very Happy Mother's Day!)

Enjoy your Rosés chilled on a warm Spring or hot Summer day, or enjoy it with anything from your spiciest dish to a rich poultry or seafood feast (and don't forget to raise a toast to Mom!)

Cheers and thank you for your support!
