Flash Sale Weekend!
WTSO has created a special offer for my friends and family that is a selection of my favorite of their wines!
They are offering $20 off $100 with code "VVA100". They are also offering free shipping on all orders.
This is a great way to connect with your family over the holidays, have everyone purchase the same bottle and hop on a Zoom chat and discuss the wine, life, and happiness!
I'm so excited to have a private page that contains wines I've specifically selected to be great QPR (Quality:Price Ratio).
*If you placed an order on Thursday night and could not apply the code VVA100, please contact customer support.

Also excited they have incorporated my Logo
It links to my webpage from their sale site!
Show them some instagram love with @WTSO
This is the new logo.

Dec 10: Crémant Lecture
You've heard of "Champagne" and likely heard that you can't just call every bubbly wine "Champagne". Do you want to know the difference between Crémant, Champagne, Prosecco, Cava, and Sparkling wine? We will put together a clear illustration of all the different types of sparkling wines and put a location to the names. We will be sampling two different Crémants. Feel free to drink along with us!

The Woot of Wine
Last Bottle Wines offers one wine at a time until it is sold out! Any sparklers go insanely fast, but you can find some really interesting and great values on wines from this site. This is a great game that feels almost Pokemon-esque. The shipping isn't the fastest and you need to order more than one bottle at a time to get free delivery; perfect if you're trying to start a cellar!
