There are two great reasons to be a wine lover in the Nashua area this week.

If you’ve read The Telegraph at all this week, you may have noticed several ads boasting the sale of a bottle of wine for $1.40 at the Coliseum Avenue liquore store Monday.

No, it’s not a bottle of junk wine they’re trying to get rid of. It’s a promotion for the Liquor Commission’s 75th anniversary.

The bottle is a 2005 Chateau de Macard Bordeaux.

I’ve written a few posts about the deals the Liquor Commission has been offering over the past couple of months, but this may be the best one yet. Check out the Saturday article in The Telegraph for more information. And make sure to get there early (and bring a few friends, since you can only get 1 bottle each). I don’t think supplies will last long.

The other deal is being offered by the Black Orchid Grille on Temple Street.

The restaurant is holding Wacky Wine Week from Aug. 16-21. Some bottles are being marked down to half-price. It’s a great opportunity to relax at the bar with a bottle or go for lunch or dinner. (Check out Michelle Collins’ post in Live Free or Dine about the food Black Orchid serves.
