Weekly Update
Thursday, May 21st
Happy Thursday everyone! I hope you all are holding up well through this grey and rainy week. We continue on, and hope we can get you something tasty to make your Memorial Day Weekend special.
So.. North Carolina is starting Phase 2 of reopening starting tomorrow afternoon. What does that mean for Hope Valley Wine & Beverage? In the short term, not much! We are going to continue on for a while longer doing business solely through Curbside Pick-Up, and are not reopening the store for browsing and inside shopping quite yet. We are going to stick with this for at least a couple more weeks, and wait and see how the numbers on Covid-19 cases look as much of the area starts to take baby steps back to 'normal'. If they continue to be stable, or if we are fortunate that they come down, then we will look to reopen in-store shopping on a limited basis. Before we do that, we will likely close for a week, to give ourselves a couple days rest, and then take a couple of days to clean, restock, and recalibrate the store for people to come inside again.
If things go as we hope they will, our estimated timeline will be:
*Staying with Curbside Pick-up only through Tuesday, June 9th.
*CLOSED Wednesday, June 10th through Tuesday, June 16th.
*Re-open store to inside shopping on Wednesday, June 17th,
with restrictions on the number of people allowed in at one time, and a requirement of face masks
being worn. We will follow up with more details as we get closer.
I emphasize that this is an estimated timeline, and if the next few weeks show an increase in Covid-19 cases, then we will scrap this timeline and stick with Curbside only until the numbers look better. We will be sure to communicate where we stand in advance both through our weekly emails and this website.
** We have had many of you really embrace the Curbside Pick-up style of business, and we have really enjoyed it as well. Please know that no matter what changes with allowing people inside or not, you are welcome to continue ordering in advance for Curbside service for as long as you want! We will happily take orders through email or phone for curbside pickup for as many years as we are here and doing business. It is and always will be an available option for you if you prefer to shop that way!
A few notes:
Orders after 3:00 PM are not guaranteed for same day pick up.
We do not offer delivery, sorry for any inconvenience.
Thank you, and we hope to wave hello to you from the curb soon.

Curbside Pick-up
Step 1: Email us or Call us. Email is the preferred option if possible. Let us know what you are looking for. That can happen through you naming specific wines you know you like and have bought with us before, or having us check your customer history and make recommendations off of what you've purchased before, or just trusting us on some of our current favorites. Maybe even a combination of all of the above! Let us know how many bottles you are looking for, and the price range you want to work within.
Step 2: Provide credit card information. You can do that through phone call or email. (Sometimes guests will send half their CC# on two consecutive emails to make it safer.) Once we have your order ready, we can give you a call, review the order with you, give you your final total, and then run the credit card with you on the phone. Our Point of Sale system does also allow you to store your card information, (encrypted of course), so that we can run later transactions without needing you to read off the number again. If you are interested in having us store the credit card information on your customer profile, just let us know when giving us the payment information.
Step 4: Come by and we'll bring everything out to your car. Give us a bit of time to get everything together, and we will let you know about how much time we need to compile your order. Give us a call when nearby, or when you have actually arrived at the curb, and we can bring your order to the car for you. We do request that, if you can, pop the trunk or back door remotely from inside the vehicle, and we can then set the order down in the back for you. If your trunk requires to be manually opened, or if you want the order in your back seat or passenger seat, we will set the order on the brick planter wall near the curb, and allow you to load the vehicle yourself. We will respect, and ask you to respect, the suggested 6 foot distance through the process. Thank you!

Fattoria di Vaira 'Quotidiano'
Molise, Italy, NV
60% Falanghina, 40% Trebbiano
This lovely little blend is certified Biodynamic by Demeter, and is made following many of the basic tenets of the natural wine ethos. Biodynamic agriculture is followed by hand harvesting, and then spontaneous fermentation in steel with no added yeasts, and it is not fined nor filtered. It has a lovely dark golden color, partly due to some minor skin contact during fermentation. It is aromatic, with red apple, green mango, peach, white flowers, and almond accents. The palate has the much of the same, with orchard fruit tones balanced with more tropical notes. Coming in at 11.5% ABV, it doesn't overwhelm, and has really nice texture and length that add to it's fruit forward style. Should be great with nearly any salad or pasta dish.
Normally $10.99
Special Case Price $8.99
Indaba Sauvignon Blanc
Western Cape, South Africa, 2018
South African Sauvignon Blancs are steadily growing in popularity, with similarities to both the New Zealand and Loire Valley styles. Enticing melon, citrus and tropical fruit aromas lead to fresh, zesty flavors of passion fruit, lime, mango and green fig, supported by a spine of racy acidity. Herbal undertones shine through on the mineral-tinged finish.
Normally $9.99
Special Case Price $7.99
Redtree Pinot Noir
California, 2017
Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape to grow and vinify, and because of that it is also the hardest grape to find at a bargain. We taste a lot of Pinots that could sell for $10 or less, and most are pretty horrible. But we found a winner here with the Redtree! It displays aromas of fresh red fruits and strawberries, with a hint of oak in the background. This lighter-bodied wine provides cherry flavors on the palate and more red fruits, finishing with soft tannins. Great balance for its price!
Normally $9.99
Special Case Price $7.99
Domaine St. George Cabernet Sauvignon
California, 2018
One wine that we seem to always be on the hunt for is the great, everyday California Cab, one that balances affordability and quality, yet still tasting truly of Cabernet Sauvignon and not just like ‘red wine’. Well, we found a definite winner here with the Domaine St. George! Based primarily on fruit from Sonoma County, it over-delivers with concentration and finesse. Ripe black cherry and cedar aromas combine on the nose, with a touch of vanilla oak in the background. It is richly flavored with black currant and black cherry accents, with mild tones of smoke and mint. It is velvety and soft yet intense on the palate, with lingering berry flavors.
Normally $11.99
Special Case Price $9.49
La Maialina 'Gertrude'
Tuscany, Italy, 2014
45% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot
Gertrude has been our best selling Italian Red for at least 3 years now. This blend is what we might call a 'Baby' Super-Tuscan. The term Super-Tuscan was coined by journalists in the 1970’s to describe a handful of wines from Tuscany that were using non-traditional grapes. Due to the grapes used, these wines could only be called ‘Table Wines’ according to Italian wine laws, although their quality was far above normal table wine levels. The classic Super-Tuscans now cost hundreds of dollars a bottle, which is why we call this charming affordable blend a 'Baby' Super-Tuscan. This wine offers remarkable value for the complex flavors it delivers. A bright acidity supports robust flavors of grilled meat, fennel, spice, black cherry, dark chocolate and tobacco into a satisfying, lengthy finish.
Normally $14.99
Special Case Price $11.99
Canyon Road Chardonnay
California, 2018
There are certain wines that we found our way to through our customers, and this is one such example. After special ordering it several times for different people, we figured there must be something to it. And there is – delicious quality and amazing value! Not nearly as heavy handed as we’ve come to expect from wines at this price point, it has crisp apple and ripe citrus fruit with a hint of cinnamon spice, all in a medium-bodied wine that lingers nicely. Well done Canyon Road!
Normally $8.99
Special Case Price $6.99
Sokol Blosser Pinot Gris
Willamette Valley, Oregon, 2018
Dating back to the early 1970s, Sokol Blosser winery was one of the first truly great Oregon wineries. They are still viewed as producing wines that encapsulate the “classic” Oregon style. This Pinot Gris has aromas and flavors of apple, fig, citrus and spice, with complex undertones of earth and minerals. It has a firm backbone coupled with lush creaminess. All the grapes for this lovely white are from hillside vineyards, and are organically grown. This is a wonderful companion to pan seared halibut, oyster stew, herbed chicken or fresh fruit.
Normally $17.99
Special Case Price $14.99
The Show Malbec
Mendoza, Argentina, 2018
The Show is a collaborative project of three wine entrepreneurs – Charles Bieler, Joel Gott, and Roger Scommegna. This 2018 vintage has a deep red, nearly purple color, with aromatics of concentrated black fruits, cigar box and notes of toasty oak barrels. Dark fruit, baking spice and rich flavors continue on the palate, which is quite brooding and focused. The tannins are super integrated and soft, but with terrific balance and finish that gives it unusual length across the palate. Just a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon
blended in adds complexity.
Normally $16.99
Case Special Price $14.49
Domaine du Prince Blanc
Costières de Nîmes, France, 2015
Some of our favorite white wines to sip during Spring weather are the lovely white wines made in France's Rhone Valley. These are whites that often have a full, round weight on the palate, giving them some substance and texture. Made of 60% Grenache Blanc, 20% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne, three of the traditional white grapes of the southern Rhone valley, the Domaine du Prince is an excellent example. It has a mouthfeel that is almost plump, with warm fruit tones of peach, quince, and yellow apple. The weight and fruit of the wine are kept in check by a nice touch of wet stone minerality and just enough acidity on the finish. This wine would work wonders with a nice pork tenderloin with an apricot ginger glaze, or with lentils and carrots in Indian spices.
Normally $12.99
Case Special Price $10.99
Les Cailloux Bordeaux Blanc
Bordeaux, France, 2018
This was easily one of our favorite finds of 2019, as evidenced by the fact that the staff continue to purchase bottles to take home. Les Cailloux Blanc is a negociant wine blended from various sources and we have it on good authority that the sources may include some barrels from a Medoc First Growth Chateau that also makes white wine. 100% Sauvignon Blanc aged 8 months in traditional French oak barrels. The pure expression of Sauvignon Blanc grown on the greatest terroirs of Bordeaux where the most legendary growths are located. The bouquet is rich with citrus fruit, well ripened white peach and wild flower aromas, with an elegant hint of brioche, mint, and lemon curd.
Normally $29.99
Case Special Price $19.99
Sokol Blosser Pinot Noir
Dundee Hills, Oregon, 2017
Another stellar vintage from our favorite Oregon winery!
“Displays pungent cherry pit, redcurrant, tobacco and floral scents that pick up a smoky nuance with air. Sappy and penetrating in the mouth, offering bitter cherry, black raspberry, succulent herb flavors and a hint of dark chocolate. In a savory, vaguely Old World style, showing sharp delineation and youthful tannic grip on a long, spice-accented finish.”
~ 91 Points, Vinous Media
Normally $39.99
Case Special Price $32.99
Rotie Cellars 'VdP'
Columbia Valley, Washington, 2017
A Washington State winery that specializes in grapes traditional to France’s Rhone Valley. Their entry level ‘VdP’ blend is 34% Grenache, 33% Syrah and 33% Mourvèdre. It has deep fruit tones perfectly integrated with crisp acidity and earthy mineral notes. Aromas of strawberry, kirsch, spiced game and leather lead to a palate that is carries flavors of juicy blackberry, red raspberry, and plum with hints of smoked meat, balanced nicely with white pepper and finely integrated tannins.
Normally $33.99
Case Special Price $24.99
The Ned Rosé of Pinot Noir
Marlborough, New Zealand, 2018
Named for one of Marlborough’s most famous peaks, The Ned wines are some of our favorites out of New Zealand. Made of 100% Pinot Noir, the grapes are gently pressed to minimize color and tannins. Enticing aromas of wild strawberries and watermelon with a delicate floral lift lead the way, followed by a creamy palate balanced by crisp acidity, creating a juicy, flavorful burst of red fruit. A versatile rosé than can be enjoyed year round, though it may be at its best with take-out sashimi and a face chat with a good friend on the patio!
Normally $12.99
Case Special Price $10.99
Chalres Bieler Père & Fils 'Sabine' Rosé
Aix-en-Provence, France, 2019
This is our current 'go-to' for classic Provencal Rosé. It is a blend of 35% Grenache, 33% Syrah, 13% Cinsault, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Rolle. Traditional Provence Rosé is what nearly every serious winemaker around the world attempts to mimic and for good reason. The delicate balance between floral, herbal, wild red fruit (not overly ripe), stone fruit and acid has proven itself time and time again. A great Southern French Rosé isn't about a singular big flavor, but more about nuance, energy, soul and personality. Bieler nails it with a balanced array of raspberry, cherry, peach, citrus, mineral and herb accents. In no way fay or heavy on the palate, and with great length.
Normally $14.99
Case Special Price $12.99
Sokol Blosser Rosé of Pinot Noir
Dundee Hills, Oregon, 2019
This is the fifth year we've received Sokol Blosser's beautiful Rosé, a wine that was previously a special treat sold exclusively at the winery. It is a classic dry Rosé made 100% from estate grown Pinot Noir. It exhibits a fragrant ruby red grapefruit bouquet that carries over onto the palate, joined by flavors of citrus, bergamot, and fresh tropical fruits. The acidity is crisp, and a lingering note of
golden raspberry gives way to a smooth finish.
Normally $16.99
Vecchia Torre Leverano Rosato
Leverano DOP, Italy, 2018
This is one of our Rosé offerings that we think of as a red wine drinker's Rosé, as it's dark pink color verges on being a full-on red wine. Produced from Negromaro with a touch of Malvasia Nera, the deep pink color ushers in intense aromas of ripe, soft red berry fruits, with notes of Mediterranean scrub-land and flowers, and just enough acidity. The fruit-rich, fresh palate is firm with good grip and length. Coral pink in the glass, with aromas and flavors of raspberry and just a hint of anise, which is what makes this a distinctly Italian Rosato. And it goes with practically everything! Try it on a picnic, or with seafood, ham, gumbo, and great just by itself.
