May Wine Specials
The lovely month of May represents Flowering. As bud break turns into vine growth, the next process of grape growing begins. Flowering is when bunches of tiny flowers bloom from the new vine shoots. Grape vines are self-pollinating, so each of these flowers has the potential to turn into a single berry. Enjoy 25% off/bottle or 30% off/case of these tasty wines.
