Happy Birthday, LeNell and LeNell's!

This Sunday, September 10, our favorite local shop owner turns 36, and her wine and spirit boutique, LeNell’s, turns 3. Stop by and wish them both a happy birthday from noon to 9 PM — they’re celebrating with food, music, tastings, and a big one-day sale. Pick up a marked-down bottle of bourbon, or get 30% off when you buy 12 on-sale items — the long list of mix-and-match-able bottles includes Craftsmen Gewurztraminer, all Barolo and Barbarescos, Tom Cat Merlot, Lancieri Montepulciano, and Starve Dog Shiraz. You can’t go wrong here, folks — 12 bottles on your wine rack will save you money and last-minute trips to the liquor store before dinner. (LeNell’s is located at 416 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook; phone number 718-360-0838; fax number is 718-874-2733; toll free number is 1-877-NO-SNOBS.)
