… and I have to count myself among those who think that Gary Vaynerchuk pushes a little too hard at times, but I have to admit that this is a great deal.
From an email blast from WineLibrary.com today:
At long last, Gary Vaynerchuk puts the energy and passion of Wine Library TV into print! In 101 Wines Gary V unveils his 1st list of favorites and recommendations. Gary’s wine picks for 2008 span many prices, regions, grapes, and styles, ensuring that wine novices and sophisticated oenophiles alike will expand their wine horizons while learning more about the drink they love. Every wine identified in the book represents a lesson in a glass, complete with the technical notes, availability, and the story behind the vintage and flavors… all brought to life as only Gary knows how!
If you buy 2 or more copies of 101 Wines, email a copy of your receipt to book@winelibrary.com to receive special offers and promotions including a special FREE SHIPPING offer valid on winelibrary.com that will be made available to book purchasers only!
That’s right! If you purchase 2+ copies, you will receive an e-mail in a couple of weeks with a special Free Shipping code to use on winelibrary.com! This code will be a one time use code only but you will be able to use it for a bottle, a case, 10 cases … whatever you desire! The code will be active for a couple of weeks after you receive it. This deal alone will essentially make the book free… it’s a no-brainer! Remember, you must purchase 2 copies or more to qualify! Full details to come. Don’t forget, you must email a copy of your receipt to book@winelibrary.com

Like Riesling and Pinot Gris? Get your fill from Foris Winery in Oregon, which offers 12 bottles for the price of 10 plus Free Shipping. Also in Oregon, Arlie Winery is doing Free Shipping on case orders of their Chardonnay. Prefer something in a Pinot Noir? Argyle does nicely with that. They’re offering Free Shipping and quantity discounts on their 05 Spirithouse Pinot Noir, a 93 point Wine Spectator wine.
Closer to my Sonoma home, one of my favorite producers, negiciant Cameron Hughes, is doing a Spring Special featuring Free Shipping on mixed cases. I might have to nab a couple of those. Macrae Family Winery offers Free Shipping on cases of their Russian River Pinot Noir until June.
Among retailers offering Free Wine Shipping this week is the great L.A. bricks n’ mortar discounter, L.A. Wine, which is offering Free Shipping on a case of 2005 Phillip Togni Cab, rip-roaring wine that got 92pts from Parker.
In the “One A Day” category, I like the Bianchi Particular at Wines Til Sold Out for $23.99 with Free Shipping, and Wine.Woot has two great wines from Frazier at a stupendous price with shipping for $5.
UPDATE 5/16 - The Wines Til Sold Out Item mentioned above is sold out. Now they have 05 Bodegas Y Vinedos Maurodos Prima Toro. Don’t know it but the price sounds good. Just browsing the specials at WineChateau.com. Some tempting juice. Montecastro Ribera del Duero Estate 750ML 2005 for $32.82 with Free Shipping. Also 06 Caymus Conundrum for $21.99 with Free Shipping.
Enjoy and keep those tips coming!

…Sur La Table is offering Free Shipping on a selection of cookbooks, cookware sets, knives, and electronic stuff like espresso machines.
BTW have you noticed that you can’t be a female cookbook author these days unless you’re a babe? In this century’s culture, Julia Child would be unemployable.
