So…hi!! It has been a MINUTE since I have written on the blog. And, as an unintentionally reformed writer (and drinker), I feel kinda bad that I have left this hanging for so long. Also, I pay WordPress for it so I might as well use it. And my Google analytics tell me I don’t have as many visitors to the site, and it’s getting lost in the deep-dark cut-throat Search Engine Optimized Nightmare that is The Internet. I get about a dozen emails a day from “people” who want to help me with this and make vintage20wine.com appear on FIRST PAGE OF GOOGLE !! Sure. ::insert eye roll::
Since we last spoke, a lot has happened. In March of 2020, we weren’t sure if our doors would remain open. We started our drive up window (still going, by the way!). We cancelled events, and like pretty much everyone else, kinda hunkered down. Our children got really good at using technological devices, and really bad at eating what I would consider to be actual food.
But hey, hopefully the worst is over and we are starting to get back to “normal” (whatever the heck that means).
Around these parts, it means that TASTINGS ARE BACK, BABY!
Join us this Thursday, June 24th 2021 for a Bulleit Bourbon tasting. We will have the regular, 10 Year, and Rye available to try (but we won’t have the 10 Year or Rye available to purchase because it’s out of stock. Way to be lame, guys).
We’ll also be giving away CUSTOM LABELS with any Bulleit purchase! It’s pretty cool, and makes a great gift for Dad (better late than never, right?), yourself, or any bourbon aficionado in your life. What will yours say? (Mine would say “Suck it, Trebek” but I bet they won’t let me print that.
So yeah, hope to see you. Thursday, June 24th, 2021 from 3:30pm to 6:30 pm, right here at Vintage 20 Wine and Spirits. Be there or be square!
Cheers!
Let’s start with something hearty this week, ’cause winter only started a month ago and I am already tired of being cold all the time. So please, join us this Friday January 24th 2020 from 4:00 to 7:00 PM for a free sample of Citra Montepulciano D’Abruzzo. This is a great everyday table wine for cold months, as it packs a little bit of heat and a touch of acidity, but not too much. It’s right smack in the middle of the palate for fruity vs peppery, dry vs. sweet. So basically, it’s an easy going, people pleasing, delight. And super reasonably priced, too!
You’ll want to keep the box in your fridge or cooler, because it’s definitely best chilled (that’s why it’s one of my summer staples!). With a great citrus tang and a hint of spice, a glass of this sangria goes with everything from burgers and dogs, to ice cubes and upper lip sweat. It’s just a friendly and approachable wine. I want to open it right now.
Distillery are right outta this world. We just brought in their Downbound Gin, which is unique because it’s barrel aged and “Navy Strength” (aka 114 proof). We also have 
mama’s cider.
This one’s an old favorite around these parts: Blue Chair Bay Key Lime Rum Cream. Blue Chair Bay is Kenny Chesney’s line of rums. I’m not a huge country music fan (sorry, most-of-America), but he did a good job with these. A lot of times you’ll see a celebrity sign on with a distillery or winery and it’s just a name, not quality. But these are good. REAL good.

If you’re not sure what to serve with your holiday meal, you will definitely want to stop by our tasting this Friday, April 19th between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. We’ll have a nice variety of wines from Smoking Loon open, free to try! Let us know what’s on the table and we can recommend something that will go along great! Try one, try ’em all. The tasting is FREE and we will offer you 10% off your purchase of our featured wines during our tasting event. Smoking Loon is a real bang-for-you-buck sort of wine anyway, so you really can’t lose.
My trusty cell phone weather app assures me that it will indeed be a glorious weekend, so it’s a great time to stop by
