August 18th is Pinot Noir Day, to be celebrated with finicky delicacy!

Pinot Noir is a fantastic wine, but a temperamental grape. With its rich color and complex flavors, it is largely considered one of the most hedonistic wines ever made. Elegant and berry-lie, its velvet flavor is the perfect addition to any affair. Pinot Noir Day celebrates this wine and the regions of the world in which it’s cultivated. Pinot Noir Day is a great opportunity to broaden your palette and indulge in your favorite variety of this dark wine. Enjoy it and share generously!

To honour this day ALL Pinot Noir wine kits are on sale. Private Reserve 8 week Pinot Noir is from Solano County, California. Reserve 6 week Pinot Noir is from Chile. Classic 4 week Pinot Noir is from California. Take a trip around the world sipping Pinot Noir! Save $15 today only!

National Red Wine Day pours in on August 28. Created to honour & appreciate one of the most popular alcoholic beverages in the country.

September 19th is International Grenache Day!

Every year on the third Friday in September, International Grenache Day creates awareness for one of the most widely planted grapes in the world. It’s also a day to celebrate this red-wine grape.

The Grenache grape is a bright red fruit that adds both a refreshing and appealing flavor to wines. Winemakers prefer this grape due to its low acidity and tannins, which helps to make the wine taste less bitter. They also blend the Grenache grape with other grapes to create the perfect bottle of wine.

Winexpert blends this grape with Shiraz and Mourvedre to create our Classic GSM wine kit.

Winexpert also makes a Grenache Rosé from Australia. A very dry, crisp delicious rosé.

Celebrating this day is simple! Pour yourself a glass of wine made from the Grenache grape. Reserve Grenach Rosé, Classic GSM  are your choices and they are all on sale today only. Save $15 in honour of Grenache Day!
