Interested in what Casa di Vino's owner has to say about the latest and greatest wines, visit Howard's blog, Des Moines Wine and Food Connection.
It is with great trepidation that I announce I’ve decided to close Casa di Vino. During Casa di Vino’s 7 years in business I’ve enjoyed introducing what’s new and interesting in the world of wine to Des Moines. I hope you’ve enjoyed the wines I’ve shared with you. Hopefully some of the wines & food/wine pairings we have presented have opened some eyes and awakened some palates to the joys of wine and all that goes with it. It’s time for me to move on to new challenges.
From Tuesday, May 24 onward Casa di Vino will be running a close-out special on everything in the shop. All wines will be discounted and there will be special case pricing (12 btls.). All accessories & books will be discounted also. Everything must go. All fixtures, racks, pictures, etc. are also available for purchase.
Thank you Des Moines for your support and 7 wonderful years,
Howard Bernstein
PS: If any of you get the Wine Spectator magazine check out the new issue (6/15) page 10 under "Letters" to see my comments. I'm now twice published.
Casa di Vino's final day of business will be Saturday, June 11. Thank you.
