			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes a wine purchase can be a big deal.  The holidays are approaching and you need to consider what you&#8217;ll be drinking with that turkey and toasting with friends throughout the remaining winter festivities.  The last thing you want to worry about it how you will store that glorious juice once you get it home.  The <a href="http://storvino.com/index.html">Storvino</a> provides a storage alternative that is simple, dependable, modular and transportable.  Furthermore, their wine storage modules are made from <a href="http://storvino.com/storvinoNero.ppt">100% Post Consumer Recycled HDPE</a>, previously in the form of retired grocery carts, solid waste containers, milk crates, produce bins, and beverage trays.</p>
<p>Each storage module will hold 6 wine bottles which makes it easy to carry and transport from the wine shop in the upright position.  Once home, the modules can be simply stacked in the resting position on its side in your wine storage area, whether it be in a cabinet, closet, or under the stairwell.  The modules are sturdy and lock in place via preformed &#8220;stacking guides&#8221; and can be further supported by the use of corks.  See the video below to see the <a href="http://storvino.com/index.html">Storvino</a> modular wine storage system in action and tell us your favorite ways to store and display wine in your household.</p>
<p>Also, for further information on the in&#8217;s and out&#8217;s of wine storage, <a href="http://blog.iwawine.com/2010/06/faq-wine-storage/">check out this FAQ</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong><a href="http://blog.iwawine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/20093592.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-89" title="Vintage Wine Estates" src="http://blog.iwawine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/20093592.png" alt="Vintage Wine Estates" width="710" height="472" /></a></strong></h2>
<h2><strong>Vintage Wine Estates Family of Wineries</strong></h2>
<p>Sure, IWA has some of the finest wine accesories, but did you know that we also sell wine? Not just any ol&#8217; wine, though, but some of the finest wines from Northern California&#8217;s wine country. Connoisseur or neophyte or anywhere in between, for holiday gift-giving, there&#8217;s nothing more well received than a great bottle of wine picked out for just that special someone.</p>
<h3><em>Girard Winery</em></h3>
<p>You know about Girard Wines, right? What, you don&#8217;t? Let me tell you, the wines are phenomenal and have received lots of accolades from critics and the press. In fact, Girard was named &#8220;Artisan Winery of the Year&#8221; and &#8220;one of the top 100 wineries in the world&#8221; by Wine &amp; Spirits magazine. With over three decades of experience and a remarkable portfolio of wines with a &#8220;sense of place&#8221; in the Napa Valley, Girard has certainly earned the respect it receives.</p>
<h3><em>Sonoma Coast Vineyards</em></h3>
<p>Handcrafted small-production Chardonnays and Pinots from the Sonoma Coast AVA are the focus of Sonoma Coast Vineyards&#8217; winemaker, Anthony Austin. The cool climate of the Extreme Sonoma Coast creates fruit with a unique character, producing wine with great elegance, finesse and intense structure—wines which have been favorably compared with some of the greatest wines of France. Take a look at this <a title="Anthony Austin in the vineyard" href="http://carpevino.wordpress.com/2009/11/08/in-the-vineyard-with-anthony-austin/">video of Anthony</a> and see his dedication to producing great fruit. Better yet, give these wines a try and experience the character of this appellation and the passion of our winemaker in every glass.</p>
<h3><em>StoneFly Vineyards</em></h3>
<p>A unique combination of talent, passion and the desire to pair fly-fishing with premium wines is at the heart of StoneFly Vineyards. Experience the extraordinary Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc from Napa and the Russian River Valley that StoneFly produces. More importantly, feel good about helping leading fly-fishing and conservation organizations which are protecting and enhancing the health of our watersheds and fly fisheries. Don&#8217;t you feel better already?</p>
<h3><em>Fire Station Red</em></h3>
<p>Producing wines that honor the service and sacrifice of firefighters while also providing a means to assist the fundraising efforts  of fire departments and burn centers along with the many community programs supported by firefighers , Fire Station Red has reached both wine lovers and the fire services community while earning strong critical acclaim from both trade and wine reviewers alike. Here&#8217;s your opportunity to support firefighters both locally and nationally while enjoying exceptional wine.</p>
<h3><em>Windsor Sonoma Winery</em></h3>
<p>Windsor Sonoma Winery is our line of high-quality, value-priced wines from grapes that celebrate terroir and true varietal characteristics of the best Sonoma appellations. Windsor Sonoma Winery is the perfect Sonoma family complement to the celebrated Girard Winery in the Napa Valley. Great for giving <em>and</em> receiving.</p>
<h2><strong>Mini-Cellar</strong></h2>
<p>With all that wine, you&#8217;re definitely going to need somewhere to put it all. Oh sure, you could just stick it in your pantry next to the chicken broth and pasta noodles, but why not store it in style in one of our wine racks or freestanding cellars. Or if you&#8217;re just keeping a few bottles on-hand or live in a small space, check out our <a href="http://www.iwawine.com/index/page/product/product_id/742/category_id/276/category_chain/381,341,275,276/product_name/Vintage+Cellars+12-Bottle+Thermo-Electric+Countertop+Mini-Cellar">Vintage Cellars 12-Bottle Countertop Mini-Cellar</a>. It&#8217;s built of the same quality materials just like one of the bigger ones and stores 12 of your favorites wines at the temperature you select. Check out this video demonstration of the features of our mini-cellar. (Sorry about the porn-groove music, but it just seemed so appropriate as I was showing off the <em>intimate</em> details of this mini-cellar&#8217;s stuff.)<br />

<h2><strong>What a great gift idea</strong></h2>
<p>Here&#8217;s a great idea: why not combine all the best wines from the extraordinary wineries I just mentioned, with the 12-bottle mini-cellar to make an extremely impressive, all-in-one gift for any wine aficionado. Wow, someone must have been reading my mind, because that&#8217;s exactly what we have—the <a href="http://www.iwawine.com/index/page/product/product_id/743/category_id/276/category_chain/381,341,275,276/product_name/Vintage+Wine+Estates+12-Bottle+Wine+Collection+%26+Mini-Cellar+Gift+Set">Vintage Wine Estates 12-Bottle Wine Collection &amp; Mini-Cellar Gift Set </a>which includes the exclusive 12-bottle mini-cellar from Vintage Cellars along with a 12-bottle mixed case of the best from Vintage Wine Estates wineries, featuring:</p>
<div>
