Saying Goodbye to….

After 14 years, we’re retiring our direct import business and will happily settle down into our new lives as wine shop owners (only). We have LOVED the import business. We made our name in the Seattle market with our import business. But it’s time to slow down some (our bodies have been telling us this for awhile now) and ride the wave of our awesome, little, wine shop in Ballard.

Many thanks to all of you who enjoyed our J. Strecker Selections wines through the years. Of the 361 labels we imported since 2010 (with multiple vintages of many of those wines = 62 containers in total), we have about 50 labels left in stock. 30 of those are tagged in the shop and have less than a couple cases left (sometimes just a few bottles), so if you’re curious… hustle on over to Portalis & check them out.

J. Strecker suppliers through the years…

The last 20 we are putting on sale. Most of these wines we bought in larger quantities as they were popular at Portalis and in the market, so we never wanted to run out. But now it’s time to run out. Mid-summer we will no longer have our warehouse space, so we need you to help us with this problem!

Woot-woot to J. Strecker Selections! Here goes….
