World Market's New Wine Pricing

Much to my dismay, I left World Market on Oak Lawn Ave. in Dallas, TX empty handed due to the RIDICULOUS new pricing for their wines. I had purchased one of my favorite wines, Drops of Jupiter, one week ago at the store on Greenville Ave for $8.88, on sale. Today ALL of the wines prices had been raised with the regular AND sales price for Drops of Jupiter being $11.99. If you buy 4 bottles, it is $10.99; a case $7.99.

Mind you, I have been buying this wine regularly for over three years at World Market NEVER paying more than $9.99. As I mentioned, I checked five other wines that I buy occasionally were also priced higher. When I spoke to the manager, he said I was not the first one to complain about the prices. He gave me a mail in feedback to the CEO which is going in the mail today.

As for me, I will never shop for wine at World Market again unless the prices change, and since that's the primary thing I buy there, it means I'm not going back.

Celis Brewing is back-FINALLY!

No one has been more excited about the return of this brewery than me. This is my first glass of Celis White @ On_Rotation on 7/12/17 in my original Hoegaarden glass. While it is much better than any other Wit beer I've tried, the taste is on the light side from the original. My friend, Luc Van Mechelen (Bobo) who introduced me to this beer in the early 80s, agrees.

If I can offer a suggestion to Christine @celisbeers, it would be to try to achieve the taste of the original Hoegaarden which made it, far and away, the class of Wit beers. I look forward to drinking many more @celisbeers now that it's up and going.
