No. 49 - Feb 2006

Well, I hope everybody received lots of flowers, chocolates and kisses for Valentines Day. Then washed it all down with a nice bottle of bubbly over a nice dinner, whipped up by your respective halves. If you were so lucky…..

I hope everyone enjoyed last week's tastings. Good to see people still producing new wines in this very wine competitive day and age. And they tasted great…

Wine Tastings

Cleanskins Tastings

Finding lunch hour a tad boring? Don't think you can handle another trip to the supermarket for the umpteenth time this week? Pop into our Liquor Department and ask for a taste of our cleanskins. Merlot, Cab/Sav, Shiraz , Brut, Chardonnay and our No 1 seller, the Sauvignon Blanc. Tasting's will be available throughout the day for the next week or so. All are locally sourced and represent great value for money.

Savignon Blanc Bonanza

  Is the mere thought of all that running with the Queen's Baton relay making you thirsty? Then come down to the fishers wine tasting area this Friday night between 4pm and 7pm and quench that thirst. This is a group hand picked by us, all symbolizing outstanding quality and a range of values. Again including our number one seller, the Fishers Cleanskins Sauvignon Blanc.

All these wines are available in the store.

Fishers Cleanskins Sauv/Blanc- $7.50

Nepenthe Sauv/Blanc- $19.95

Wirra Wirra Adelaide Hills Sauv/Blanc- $24.95

Redbank Long Paddock Sauv/Blanc- $11.95

COOPERS SALE

  You can't beat Coopers for Australian tradition and purity. Each beer is fermented in its own bottle, making each one special. This is evident by the small amounts of sediment in the bottle. Coopers have been brewing since 1862, utilising their all natural ingredients with no preservatives to give them the edge over their competitors mass produced product. With Coopers Brewery posting record breaking sales this summer, we decided to jump on the sales bandwagon and offer these two products at special prices this week.

One of the newest member's to the Coopers beer family is the Coopers Mid Ale, which has taken the number two spot in the top mid strength sales in South Australia recently. And the one that started it all, Coopers Sparkling Ale. Both will be available at all stores at a terrific sale price.

Well that's it for another week. All the best for those running in the Baton Relay. I hope the rest of you don't get caught in the traffic delays, I think I might run my own relay to work on Friday to avoid traffic.

Enjoy the rest of the week everybody and see you shortly.
