Whole Wines


Since Whole Foods opened up in late June they have become our second best customer. We'd like to dedicate this love sonnet of sorts to John Mackey's brain child. Not only is the big company competently run and easy to work with but they also pay their bills on time! Their regional wine buyers are top notch and understand that the wine world is far larger than California. This local Whole Foods, in little Reno, Nevada, carries such wine luminaries as Franco Noussan, Cascina Tavijn, Francois Cazin, Terres Dorees, Gachot-Monot, Bernard Baudry, Domaine Fontsainte, Thierry Puzelat, Montesecondo, Luberri, Uriondo etc... Please, all 16 readers of this blog, while you're purchasing grass fed beef, stroll over to the wine section and ask for Peggy or Michael, two of the coolest wine salespeople in all of Northern Nevada. Tell them we sent you and that you're in search of real wine. Let us know you did this and we'll throw you a parade downtown, with rose petals and a marching band. Once you are punch drunk on plaudits we'll take you to that high end gallery of gastronomy know as Brickies Tavern for a burger and a beer.
