    Big Top Closeout Deal Wines; 11/22/2018-2/24/2019 (Minneapolis/ St. Paul MN): Day 1: Blackberries, black licorice, floral and tea leaves. Good acidity on this one with some nice sour cherries on the finish. Very balanced wine overall and well made. Not a fruit bomb or over the top alcoholic Aussie wine. For $10 hello every day drinker!!!

This wine retails for $24 and more. My wholesale cost on the the wine was $18.75. Talk about dumping a wine and killing the retailers.

Scored a great deal - usually in the $20’s

Randy the shop usually moves out the wines that are not selling. The list on the wine was $26. We have a lot of shops in Minneapolis like Haskell’s that sit on older Burgundy and Bordeaux instead of trying to move it by discounting it. Now a lot of it is vinegar.
