Planning a Party?

Try before you buy: Free wine and beer tastings at BevMo! {Sponsored}

Trivia time: Who sells the most caviar in California? The answer is BevMo! – the West Coast beverage and party planning store that recently expanded to Washington. One of BevMo!’s first local stores can be found at Grand Ridge Plaza in Issaquah Highlands. It’s home to a robust keg and growler station, and aisles upon aisles of beer, wine, spirits, snacks and sodas.

BevMo! on-site specialists are a key resource to help choose the best wine or beer pairings for a menu, and they can teach you how to mix a fine cocktail. Shop like an insider and ask for advice about “best bang for your buck” wines and champagnes. You can also sip before you buy: Every Friday, BevMo! offers free wine and beer tastings from 4 pm to 7 pm. The tasting menu rotates weekly and features seasonal brews and wines.

If you’re planning a special event or party, BevMo! has services and deals that can come in handy. Here are two to remember:

ClubBev! Card
The BevMo! customer loyalty program is free to join and includes member-only discounts, including 2-for-1 wine specials. Members receive weekly email coupons for specific discounts. For example, last week’s coupon offered $4 off J Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet. When your total spending reaches $250 (or 250 points), they’ll send you a 5% discount coupon. Members also receive $10 off coupons for purchases of $100 dollars or more on a seasonal basis.

Did you forget the …
Plastic cups? Ice? Birthday card? Find what you need at BevMo!, with its selection of snacks, party accessories, barware, glassware and gifts. BevMo! also features hard-to-find sodas, including Cheerwine (now available outside North Carolina) and Bundaberg Ginger Beer Soda (Australia’s non-alcoholic version of zesty ginger beer). They also carry fresh cheeses and dips, chips and crackers, olives and juices – and of course, caviar.
