Ever Seen a "Don's Guns" Commercial?

2008 Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon

If you've ever watched much tv out of Indianapolis, it's likely that you've seen a Don's Guns commercial that finished up, "I don't want to make any money...I just love to sell guns."  Well, we've taken a little bit of that tongue in cheek approach with some very serious wine here at The Gas House.  Now, don't take this to mean that we claim to be some sort of authority on wine...However, we have recently brought in a few iconic names, and have put price tags on them that might suggest that these bottles have been aging at the bottom of the St. Mary's River...rest assured this is not the case.  In any event, those in the know would be completely aware that we have no business pushing Caymus Special Selection Napa Cab at $160 or Shafer Relentless Syrah at $95.  Obviously, this is not peanuts, but consider what you might pay for either of these California icons in other restaurants (slim pickings here in town), and you might get the notion that we've got a screw loose.  To be totally honest, we still make out on these, but we're nice guys and enjoy having our stupidity taken advantage of.  Besides these top shelf offerings, there's also a bunch of very good stuff in that wine book, now...and quite a bit of it at more casual price points.  But, if the occasion calls, remember that you're not going to find anyone else around that will peddle top flight bottles like us morons.
