Winehiker Witiculture


I’ve been recruited as a spy!

Oops - should I have said that? Whoa, I’ve just blown my cover!!!

Uh-oh. Now I’ve gone and done it! Suddenly, it’s cloak and dagger time! Sheesh, I’m going to have to spend the remainder of my days constantly looking over my shoulder for Impy the Midget!!

But seriously: there’s an organization called The Wine Spies, and they’ve recruited me to be an agent. And my control - we’ll call him Agent Red - has been in contact with me recently to uncover the truth behind the Oakville Ranch label, specifically to infiltrate their 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon. A wine which, incidentally, will be available for sale - one day only - on The Wine Spies’ website tomorrow.

The price? Only 48 American dollars.* (Typical retail price: $60. Yes, you’ve just uncovered a real deal.)

The Oakville Ranch 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon could be yours! No covert action required.
The 2004 Oakville Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon could be yours as soon as tomorrow! No covert action required.

Due to unforeseen back-channel logistics, this newly-commissioned Agent Winehiker has not yet tasted the wine. (I claim plausible deniability.)

And yet this operative suggests that when the operative word is Oakville, your mission, should you decide to drink it, is to run, not hike, to The Wine Spies’ website tomorrow, Friday April 25th.

As for my own mission, I have secured the product. Espionage awaits!

*That’s $48 per bottle. Plus, you can get Free Ground Shipping if you buy a minimum of 4 bottles and enter Agent Red’s Exclusive Winehiker-Only promo code, “SPYHIKER”.
