Pssst...Valentine's Day Coming Up

We have one of the very big boys in our store today for our 3-6pm tasting (it is free and we are at 132 Front St. in Greenport across from Mitchell Park - repeat that 3 times and twirl around with your right index finger in the air; invite the crowd that gathers to come with you).

Seriously, Bedell Winery will be pouring for our tasting and their wine is just plain great, year after year, and it is always a treat to have Matt come visit us.  You'll like him and the wine. Cross our hearts.
Little sayings like Cross My Heart (meaning to pledge it to be true) has also something of a Valentine's bouquet to it. (we can't help thinking about Valentine's Day)...you make a Christian symbol over your heart and "hope to die" if it isn't a true pledge - the underlying heart will stop beating if it is false.  Don't you make that sign or think that ritual in some form when you first meet your significant other?  You are my Valentine, cross my heart and hope to die?

At first crush these are more bad puns than are necessary. We'll stop if you stop in.  Here's the deal and we will repeat it daily in some form from now through Valentine's Day:

The Bedell wines tasted today will be available 10% off but we will extend that to 10% off ANY wine in the store between now and then, if you promise to take your SO out for a Valentine's dinner at the restaurants .in town offering them (North Fork Oyster, Curvee, Noah's).  Just say the magic words at the register. 

Cross our Hearts.
