The store, called Bin Ends opened in Braintree, MA, just south of Boston a few days ago. The new concept is to continually mark down bottles over time until they reach 45% off. For example a bottle of 2003 Domaine Chateau Gigondas may get marked down like this:

I just received this email from my friend via iPhone:
“So my dad’s in town for business and I’m waiting for him in a bar. A bar in one of the ballerest restaurants in DC (everyone here is old). Anyway, I’m having a nice scotch when I look and read the “warning” on the cocktail napkin.” […]
Another Second Glass Wine Club was a huge success. As per usual, a number of us got together and all brought a bottle of wine that fit the theme of Australia and New Zealand. Bottles must cost less than $20 and the idea is to bring something you like or that seems curious. About 30 […]
Well, to be completely fair, he’s classing up the joint and calling his new venture, Little Jonathan Winery. He’s probably not the next Mondavi, but he claims to know what he likes.

I know what you are thinking, why do we need another wine shop in Coolidge Corner and how are they going to compete with Trader Joe’s and Best Cellars? The area thinks that two CVS pharmacies are necessary, so why not provide you with numerous wine stores?

Many people claim they don’t have time to read but I have found a perfect excuse, Wine Book Club! In order to try and get more people to learn about wine, a group of bloggers came up with this idea. A new book will be chosen on the first Tuesday of March, May, July, September […]
One of my main goals in life is to try and get my dad away from drinking jugs of Fortissimo. It’s always fun to introduce my parents to new wines and show off my “skills.” (I use that term very loosely because they are still very young.) A prior visit home I […]
Seriously - what is this? It was in the Italian white wine section, but it looked more like a dark rose or possibly a VERY light pinot. No, it tasted like a rose with tannins. What is this wine? It’s from Italy but it has German written on the bottle. We’ll look into it and […]
Last night I went to Diablo Glass School in Mission Hill to sip some French wine and watch glass artists blow some Venetian wine goblets and a massive glass sculpture. The event is part of a regular series the Diablo Glass School puts on, which invites people to come see what the school is all […]
