“Need that special Christmas gift? How about a case of Woodbridge Chardonnay Wine to share with friends or to use as Christmas gifts? I have six cases (12 bottles per case) left over from TICC which I will sell at CASI’s cost of $66.00 per case, tax included. Individual bottles for $5.50 each. I will be at several cook-offs in Central Texas, including Marble Falls, Waring and Kingsland carrying some of the wine with me. If you are not attending one of these cook-offs but are interested, call me to see if there is a way I can get them to you. Let me know if you would like to purchase some of these fine wines to make sure I have with me what you need. Please help CASI out in disposing some of the left over inventory.” (Doug “Bucky” Seelig 512-965-4564)
