Prima's Minister of Value is Giving the House Away Again!
Since John, i.e. the cat, is away right now, it’s time for the mice, i.e. his wonderful staff, are going to play…seriously play by offering our version of the Friday Follies. Taking a page from John’s playbook, we have selected a group of wines, both red and white (and two bubblies) and reduced the prices to make them irresistible to value-loving customers, like you and I, PRIMA Vini’s aptly named ‘Minister of Value’. While that title might suggest low prices only, value can be found at any price level, as long as the quality and authenticity are there and the wine delivers more than the cost would imply. Please enjoy the selection below and see if you agree.
Cheers, Frank
Note: Limited to stock on hand, but don’t hesitate to ask about supply.
