Surdyk's Summer Wine Sale

Bargain hunters, start your engines! Surdyk's has a major sale just several times each year. If you like saving big money on wine, their prices are all but impossible to beat. Their Summer Sale starts July 6 and runs through July 23.

Their new catalog just arrived in yesterday's mail. You can also score one online when they post it later this week: www.surdyks.com. As usual, I've put together a list of what I feel are best buys...good wines at really good prices. The ones that are highlighted in yellow will make your friends say "Wow!" when you have them over.  Enjoy!
