https://www.exploretock.com/goodluck/event/609949/rose-of-age-originality-a-clos-cibonne-wine-dinner

Forging a distinct path from their neighbors in Provence, Clos Cibonne produces an utterly unique and age-worthy rosé. Their originality has earned them cult status in a region where most wines strive to fit in. Embracing the ancient tibouren varietal and aging under flourette, their wines can stand the test of time and are worthy of food pairings often reserved for the world's best reds.

In this dinner we will explore six wines, spanning over a decade of vintages, alongside a five-course dinner from Chef Dan Martello and the Good Luck culinary team.

We're hiring! We are looking for someone who can work anywhere from 15 to 30 hours a week, with availability on Saturday and/or Sunday a must. Pay starts at $20-23/hour depending on qualifications.

Responsibilities include all aspects of working at a busy retail store (stocking, cleaning, checking people out on the cash registers, etc.), but the most important aspect of the job is giving great customer service. No prior knowledge of wine or liquor is needed, just curiosity about the products and enthusiasm.

If you're interested, please send your resume to Matt at [email protected].

There's more to Mexican spirits than tequila and mezcal!

We have a gorgeous lineup of Mexican rums from , and the night of Wednesday, May 20, we are hosting a class on this spirit that is often overlooked and underrepresented. Meryl Cocuzza, the National Import Specialist at (lead distributor of "geeky spirits"), will guide the class through this curated lineup of small-production Mexican cane spirits sourced from Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Jalisco — each one reflecting a distinct producer, cane variety, and regional tradition.

As a bonus, Meryl will also be pouring both 3 Años 2nd Edition rum, an eleven cask blend of pot and Krassel column still rum from the mountainous Cañada region of Oaxaca that is aged in ex-bourbon barrels and new French Oak casks, and Sierra Negra mezcal (had to throw one in!) from Santa Catarina Albarradas, Oaxaca, which is Sierra Negra agave fermented with tepehuaje bark.

This class is an incredible chance to learn about some unique, rare, and misunderstood spirits from a real expert. Tickets are $25 per person, refundable with the purchase of any featured bottle after the tasting. Over half the class is full, so if you want a seat, we recommend reserving yours via the link below ASAP!:

Reminder that tomorrow from 1-4pm we are hosting a spring tasting in the store with over 20 wines and some of our new favorite apertifs from , including an anchovy vermouth (yeah you heard that right!), a miso vermouth, a strawberry apertif, and an Early Grey apertif. We'll see you there!

Spring finally showed up (kind of!), and we are ready to celebrate the right way.

This Saturday, April 18th, we are hosting a relaxed walk-around tasting at the shop featuring four of our favorite purveyors: , , and .

We will have 20 wines open plus a half dozen spirits, all dialed in for the season.

Think:
• Crisp, refreshing whites
• Bright, energetic rosés
• Lighter reds that shine with a slight chill
• A few under-the-radar bottles that massively overdeliver for the price

No structure, no pressure, just good wine and good people.

Swing by anytime between 1–4pm, taste at your own pace, and spend some time discovering what you will want to be drinking all spring long.

This is a great chance to find a few new go-to bottles for dinners, get-togethers, or just having something great on hand when the weather cooperates.

The event is free, but we would love a quick RSVP so we can plan accordingly! You can RSVP at the link in below. We'll see you there!

Brand new white blend from our friends at Forge Cellars! A mix of 79% Riesling, 14% Chardonnay, and 7% Gewürztraminer, this wine is lightly aromatic with that classic Finger Lakes shale minerality we know and love so well. You can get this in store, at the link below, or, if you're coming to our sold out Forge class tomorrow night, try it then!
