That is a lot of wineries. Many of these wineries are small, family-owned businesses making anywhere from 500-5000 cases. At Please The Palate, owner Allison Levine loves to seek out these small producers and introduce them to friends through stories and events. Please The Palate is partnering with Chris Kern of Forgotten Grapes to bring you the best boutique wine bundle deals from California’s Central Coast every month! These are not wines that you will find at your local wine shop or restaurant. Each month features a different winery. The wine bundle includes 4 wines for $100 + tax ($150 value). Delivery is free and contact-less to people living in Southern California. If you live beyond Southern California, wines can be shipped – $25 in California and $30 outside of California to Western States (AZ, NV, OR, ID). Additional states, please contact us.
