THERE HAS LONG BEEN RUMORED A SUPER SECRET "BEST OF THE BEST" LIST FLOATING AROUND THE GREAT LAKES HALLWAYS. WELL TODAY IS THE DAY WE SHARE THAT SUPER SECRET LIST WITH YOU! THIS LIST WAS BORN OUT OF HUNDREDS OF TASTINGS, BUT IS ONLY ONE PERSON'S PERSPECTIVE. WE USE IT AS A GUIDE TO QUICKLY NAVIGATE THE GLWAS BOOK WHEN LOOKING FOR A SOLID GLASS POUR! I HOPE THAT IT MIGHT HELP YOU DO THE SAME. TO MAKE THE LIST, THE WINE NEEDS TO HAVE THREE QUALITIES: VARIETALLY CORRECT EXCELLENT VALUE/BANG FOR THE BUCK TASTES GREAT

A Letter to our Trade Partners GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WE ARE FACING WITH OUT-OF-STOCKS, WE WANTED TO PUT TOGETHER SOME INFORMATION THAT WILL HELP EXPLAIN WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING [AS AN INDUSTRY] AND WHY. WE KNOW THESE ISSUES HAVE MADE THINGS INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING AND DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY WHEN OUR RESTAURANT INDUSTRY PARTNERS NEED US MORE THAN EVER. AS MOST OF YOU CAN PROBABLY ATTEST, THROUGHOUT THIS PANDEMIC IT HAS BEEN GREAT LAKES' CENTRAL GOAL TO SURMOUNT THESE CHALLENGES IN ANY AND ALL WAYS POSSIBLE. WE DON'T EVER WANT TO MAKE EXCUSES, BUT WE HOPE THIS WILL SERVE TO SHED A LITTLE LIGHT ON THE SITUATION. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ISSUES AFFECTING OUR INVENTORY: SHORTAGE OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS, TRUCKS, WORKERS AND TRUCK DRIVERS SEVERE CONGESTION IN ALL FACETS OF SHIPPING (TRUCK, RAIL & WATER) ETA'S FOR DIRECT IMPORT LOADS ACROSS THE GLOBE ARE 6 MONTHS (THEY USED TO TAKE 2-3 MONTHS) WE LOOK FORWARD TO A DAY WHEN A 2X4 GOES BACK TO $2, TOILET PAPER ABOUNDS AND WINE SHIPMENTS CAN MAKE IT ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN PREPANDEMIC TIME FRAMES. IN THE MEANTIME WE WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE WE CONTINUE TO SERVICE OUR LOYAL PARTNERS IN THE WAY TO WHICH THEY HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED PATIENCE. YOUR FRIENDS AT GLWAS
