Sunfish Cellars Black Friday Sale plus Saturday

Vote for my wine blog: https://www.localwineevents.com/resources/blogs/view/2023

No one offers better wine buying advice in the Twin Cities. I am not even going to mention others who attempt to give you advice as I laugh at their recommendations.

Please consider a $10.00 donation to keep 3 Day Wine Review completely independent as I purchase all my own wines for my 3 Day Wine Reviews. Email me for more information: [email protected]

Here is how the sale works:

1. All prices are updated on their website: https://sunfishcellars.com/
2. You take 10% off the prices at check out or in store HOWEVER if you get a case or more now we are talking. 5% off up front and then the 10% discount.
3. Loyality members get 2% (Unlike some wine shops there is no goofy fee needed).
4. Call: 651-905-1080 or email Hoyt Hill at [email protected]
5. Happy Shopping

BOLD MEANS GREAT BUY

ALL PRICES ARE WITHOUT THE 5% OFF OR THE 10% ADDITIONAL DISCOUNT.

2013 Descendientes de José Palacios Bierzo Villa de Corullon – Spain, Castilla y León, Bierzo (11/29/2019)
Day 1: Picked up at Sunfish Cellars today for around $22 with tax. Pepper, Bing Cherries, floral and gravel. Big up front but shorter finish. Pleasant overall and worth $22. 90 points
Day 2: More restrained on day 2 and a better wine. Pepper, Bing Cherries, floral, earth, plum, gravel and black licorice. Medium finish overall which is an improvement. This would be a crowd pleaser at a party. 91 points (91 points)
