Update ; )

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

All of the promo codes for wine.com can now be found in the side bar to the right so you can find them easily all month long.

We will also be adding “but it here” links to a website called DrinkUpForLess.com for some of the wines we review, the wines on this site are great values, and they also offer great promos which we will fill you in on. The only down side we found to this site is availability, as they rotate their stock frequently they seem to run out quicker, we will do our best to keep our reviews as current as possible but try and cut us some slack if they run out ; )

frugally yours,

It Starts With a Grape

You may have noticed…

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

So, some of you may have noticed that recently links have been added to some of our wine reviews. These are NOT ads! They are direct links to a website called www.wine.com. Their prices are usually a bargain, and often less than what you will find in your local wine shop, especially if you buy in larger quantities. We have added this feature to benefit you, especially those of you who may not have time to actually stop into a store, or are less than than satisfied with the selections there. Here at It Starts With A Grape, we do a lot of our purchasing from this website and wanted to give you the opportunity to do the same. That’s all for now, happy sipping everyone, and as always, thanks for visiting!

Sincerely,

It Starts With a Grape
