Black Friday Sale at Edward Sellers!

/in , /by

Greetings Wine Linos!

For the  worst, er, best shopping day of the year, Edward Sellers is creating some MAYHEM!
Their MAYHEM BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL, That is! 50% OFF!

The ideal situation would be to bypass all of the drama and MAYHEM in life, but what fun would that be?

Their first offering of MAYHEM blends the lush dark fruit and dark berry flavors of Syrah, the powerful concentration of smokey, meaty Mourvèdre, the intensity of Grenache’s crushed dark cherries, with a hint of black berry and licorice flavors of Zinfandel.  This blended with a kiss of French oak produces an opulent red wine with great complexity and length.

Experience the MAYHEM with your next bone-in Rib Eye off the barbeque, or a Tuesday night retro styled, pulled Pork sandwich with friends.

And sometimes… you just need a little MAYHEM by yourself!

$20.00/Bottle
      For this sale that means:
$10.00/BOTTLE!!

Call their Tasting Room at 805-239-8915 or email Kendall at kcarson@edwardsellers.com.

(Sale ending Sunday, 11/25/2012)

I know you’re going to enjoy their MAYHEM!

Until the next drop.
