In addition, we have a fine selection of single and magnum decanters to cheer the heart of any collector.

And for taking your wine on the go—from BYO restaurants to BBQs—we have an assortment of wine bags guaranteed to suit your needs, including the versatile bottlebag, designed to hold up to 9 bottles without hearing the glass clink and clank while you travel.

Delong’s Wine Grape Varietal Table
We first found this chart last summer on a wine tasting trip in, of all places, Virginia and were impressed by how absolutely cool it was! It has taken us almost a year to get inventory in the store, but we’re now excited to offer Delong’s Wine Grape Varietal Table at a lower price than you can find it from Delong’s website directly! Suitable for framing, part artwork, part reference tool, Delong’s Wine Grape Varietal Table suggests a periodic table, with grape varietals inside boxes that are laid out in order of acidity and weight. The accompanying reference book, The Wine and Grape Indexes, is the most comprehensive index available of the grape varieties used in wine appellations worldwide. It helps to answer the all too typical question: “What grape am I drinking?” A great gift for all wine lovers, whether expert or beginner. The Table and Index Book come packaged in an attractive and reusable gift tube. Get yours today!
