Many Thanks

Lulou's restaurant, Reno's long time beacon of light, has been pouring four of our wines by the glass: Chotard Sancerre, Mouthes Le Bihan's 'Pie Colette' and 'Viellefont' and Montesecondo Rosso. They have just about depleted our stock on two Sancerre producers and continue to move an incredible volume. We are forever grateful, as selling real wine is hard in this town.  Please go, sit at the bar and have glass with some food. Here is an ordering guide.
Order the Sancerre if,
     1. You are a young lady just getting into wine.
     2. Old lady just getting into Martinis.
     3. Seasoned wine store owner (sex irrelevant).
Order the 'Pie Colette' if,
     1. You are a hipster that rides a fixed-gear and shops at second hand stores, which is most of our employees. (An aside, by this time next year our entire sales force will be bike only. Please don't complain if your sample is hot because, just as Speaker Pelosi opined, we are busy saving the world.)
Order the 'Viellefont' if,
     1. You are a middle aged man and use to scour the Bordeaux market looking for values but became discouraged after Parker and Rolland turned it into Mother Russia.
     2. You are an older man, employed by a law firm, and have a taste for caustic jello, also known as high end California Cabernet. You might be disappointed but this is America, land of the optimistic, home of the second chance.
Order Montesecondo if,
     1. You want to have a wine that will blend seamlessly with your meal, allowing you and your guests to talk about important things like sea turtles, religious shysterism  and barbarism in Africa (sex irrelevant).
