I’m not sure about all of you but I’m very happy to have Feburrr-ary behind us. I am grateful for the precipitation as we need it and will take all we can get. Fortunately Daylight Savings and the Spring Equinox will assure us that if it does snow here in the valley we can take comfort that it won’t hang around for too long.
As we leave winter behind and rein in springtime our recreational opportunities begin to blossom as well. My favorite thing about springtime is that it can mean a chance at partaking in almost any recreational activity the valley has to offer. Go riding, go skiing, go fishing, go hiking or go boating because it’s all right at our finger tips. River trips are undoubtedly on many of our minds so don’t forget that “The Jug” has a large seleciton of microbrew cans and canned or box wines. Stop by and talk to us if you need assistance in planning your libation needs for your upcoming trip, we will be glad to help.
Thanks to all of you March marks the start of our 15th year in business here in wonderful downtown Salida, CO. It’s been our pleasure to grow with the community and we look forward to the next 15 years! We sincerely thank you for your business and look forward to seeing you all in March.
Sincerely,
The staff at Arlie Dale’s Jug Liquors

Similar to the organic cuvée, the 2016 Tarima Monastrell (100% Monastrell aged in used French oak) offers more dark fruits, pepper, and earth in a rich, full-bodied, expansive, charming character. It's another terrific value.

Sirius Bordeaux Rouge 2015
Was $15.99 - Now $13.99
The fruit of one of the best-ever Bordeaux vintages, Sirius 2015 is a superb garnet hue with a deep purple fringe. The bouquet is richly elegant, combining all the aromatic freshness of a grape harvested at peak maturity with the subtle oak denoting carefully controlled barrel-ageing alongside toasted notes and jammy fruit. But it is on the palate that the greatness of this legendary vintage really shows. Ample-bodied and succulent, it offers outstanding balance with elegant tannins, abundant, delicious fruit and creamily smooth extract. The lingering finish is perfectly smooth, a sign of this wine's noble origins.

Marques de Toro Mencia 2012
Was $19.99 - Now $14.99
Ripe, raisiny aromas of earthy berry fruits, chocolate and vanilla introduce a choppy palate with oaky flavors of dried cheese and cream. This also shows dried plum and berry flavors on a full, scratchy palate. End notes of foresty berry fruits, earth, licorice and hard spices are impressively solid. Drink through 2020.

Cape Heights Viogneir 2016
Was $11.99 - Now $8.99
Dry and pretty with floral notes and lively touches of apricot. Succulent tropical fruit shows on the palate but it is well balanced by crisp acidity.
Vina Seculo Godello 2017
Was $14.99 - Now $11.99
A gold color and overtly woody aromas akin to cedar cover more delicate scents of white peach and pear. A plump body with a resiny texture benefits from bright acidity, while this tastes of salty stone fruits and oak. The finish is long and woody in character. Jorge Ordoñez Selections.

Soldiers Block Shiraz 2018
Was $12.99 - Now $9.99
Bright, aromatic and juicy on the nose with just a touch of naughty bacon fat. True to the varietal, the tiny proportion of Malbec in this blend gives a flowery perfume. This vintage is our brightest, most dangerously drinkable Shiraz to date due to its fine, bright fruit and soft silky elegance.
Soldiers Block Chardonnay 2016
Was $12.99 - Now $9.99
This was not about the points but about Australia still offering amazing value for money. Simple but very attractive, defying its price point to stand shoulder to shoulder with some of the big names.

Domaine la Haut Morone Gigondas 2015
Was $34.99 - Now $29.99
Intense aromas of ripe raspberries and black cherries, then a wisp of smoke creeps in along with some hints of toasted cocoa beans. Deep and intense, this wine slowly reveals its secrets - black cherries, dark chocolate, a hint of clove and nutmeg - hugely rich and enveloping but with elegance.
