UPSON'S

WINES

We're here to help you select the perfect wine for your special moments! Because it's not the days we remember - it's the moments!

At My House I love the weekend. After dinner, I pour my glass of wine and head for my patio. This is the moment when I start to recharge. I quietly sit and watch what happening in my little slice of the world. In the summer, I enjoy a crisp glass of chilled white wine. At my house I'm serving a wine we tasted last month, when we were traveling California's Central Coast. At Tangent Winery we tasted with winemaker Christian Raguenant and really liked his 2006 Tangent Ecclestone (a blend of Pinot Gris, Viognier, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Orange Muscat, and Albarino). Here's what we learned about the back ground of this wine. As each Tangent wine is made to highlight its individual variety, Ecclestone represents characteristics of each. This wine is the epitome of synergy – the entire Tangent portfolio rolled into one, and then some. The blending process provides winemaker Christian Roguenant an opportunity to harken back to his French roots, and to spread his California winemaker wings at the same time. The envy of many winemakers, he is provided the opportunity to be extremely creative each vintage with this wine. As new single wines are added to the Tangent line-up, they also become available for Christian to add to the Ecclestone blend if he chooses. There are no limits here – if it’s white and interesting, he’ll consider it. It was just delightful! It's great with Asian Cuisine. Try a bottle this month $17.99 (winery price $20 regular price $22.49). Learn more about Tangent at http://www.baileyana-tangent.com

How do I become a Six Pack Wine Society Member?

This is a great way to taste some new and interesting wines each month. It's easy. Just purchase our canvas carrier bag at $11.99 and you're a member. Our canvas bags come in great colors and designs, and they're so sturdy - you'll use it for shopping for years (and it sure saves on the use of bags). Every time you purchase 6 wines you'll save money. You save big time with our monthly selection, or you can select your own six pack and save the sales tax (6%), or you can mix n match. We have no other purchase requirements (other then six bottles at a time), but when you do, you'll always SAVE!
