Introducing
the Wines by Jennifer
"Road
Trip Picnic
Kit"
 As
we enjoy another busy summer here at Wines by Jennifer,
it struck us that we sure have been spending
a lot of time preparing coolers and baskets of food and
wine for our various summer activities. Knowing that
our customers might be doing the very same thing, we
thought we could help, and thus was born the Wines
by Jennifer Road Trip Picnic Kit, a "grab
and go" collection of various food and wine items
that's sure to please even the most discriminating
palate.
Perfect
for tailgating, picnics, boating excursions, outdoor
festivals, trips to the lake, or any other
you activities you have planned, we can prepare
a basket-to-go for any budget. Just give us a call
an
hour or so before
you're ready to go, and we can chill your favorite
wine and have a basket waiting for you with everything
you need so you can make a clean getaway to your destination.
Our baskets
are totally customizable, too. Need a corkscrew? Glasses?
Paper plates? Your favorite Osceola Cheese Factory cheeses?
Salami and crackers? That special summer sparkling wine?
Let us know and it will
be in your basket!
So save yourself
some time and effort this busy summer and let Wines
by Jennifer do the work for you. Just call 816.505.WINE
and we'll take it from there!

Wines from Spain Far from Ordinary Wine Guide
Doug
Frost, MS, MW - Contributor
 Created
by Wines from Spain and Kansas City's own Doug
Frost, MS, MW, this beautiful 144-page book is packed
with insightful,
current and useful information on Spanish wines
and cheeses, along with maps and eye-catching photographs.
Spain's
wine industry is experiencing an unprecedented revolution
in quality and diversity and this explosion
has clearly placed Spain among the leaders in the
wine
world
today.
These
days, Spain's winemakers are adapting modern practices
while also respecting the country's honored winemaking
traditions. Additional, new wine laws are encouraging
experimentation among producers, resulting in rich,
lively, distinctly "Spanish"-styled wines that complement
a broad variety of cuisines.
This
purpose of this book is to enlighten the reader on
all the exciting developments in Spanish
wine, and it
hits the mark!
