Atlanta Wine Shop Offers Products Originating from Two Legendary Winemaking Families

Posted: April 2, 2013

Capital City Package now offers wines from Maison Nicolas Perrin and highlights the winery’s Syrah Viognier blend in the store’s latest newsletter.
(ATLANTA, GA) In his most recent newsletter, Larry Kantrowitz of Atlanta wine shop Capital City Package talks about an exciting addition to the Atlanta liquor store’s impressive wine selection. Capital City is now offering a Syrah Viognier blend from France’s Maison Nicolas Perrin, a joint venture consisting of Marc Perrin and Nicolas Jaboulet. The advertised bottle is a blend of Syrah from the north, which provides a hearty base flavor with black fruits and herbs on the nose and palate, and 3% Viognier, which balances the blend by offering a softness and a floral finesse. “This wine is so much fun to drink that it’s impossible not to keep going back to the wine every few minutes just to take in the aroma,” says Kantrowitz. Capital City Package offers this Syrah Viognier blend for $16.99. 

The experienced wine drinker will recognize the names Perrin and Jaboulet as those of two highly-respected vintner families. The Perrin family owns Château Beaucastel in the southern part of the Rhône valley in France, while the Jaboulet family’s Hermitage La Chapelle from the northern Rhône is one of the most famous Syrahs in the world. The younger generation of the Perrin and Jaboulet families, Marc Perrin and Nicolas Jaboulet formed Maison Nicolas Perrin in 2009. Unrestricted by fixed costs due to its ability to use the Perrin family’s cellars, the team is able to create quality wines without being obligated to produce large quantities to cover cost.

Atlanta Liquor Store Capital City Package Now Utilizes Instagram for Social Media Marketing

Posted: March 14, 2013

Capital City Package, an Atlanta liquor store, recently created an Instagram account to expand their social media marketing by engaging directly with consumers and allowing customers to window shop and quickly see what’s in stock.
(ATLANTA, GA) Instagram, a free app available for both Android phones and iPhones, has taken the social media world by storm. While the app is intended for quick, immediate sharing, businesses have jumped on the bandwagon to visually engage consumers, allowing them to “window shop” and see, at a glance, new and available products. Atlanta liquor store Capital City Package recently added the app to its social media marketing platform, in addition to Facebook and Twitter.

The image-based social media combines the best of both Facebook and Twitter by visually engaging customers, or “followers”, with pictures that utilize a variety of fun, retro-style filters. Users can add brief descriptions and hash tags, as well as commenting and sharing. In addition, Instagram allows immediate sharing with multiple social media channels –photos can be simultaneously shared with Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr.

As more and more consumers turn to social media not just for sharing but for news and promotions, businesses must supplement their websites with robust and responsive social media profiles. “Most people pay more attention to their Facebook and Instagram feeds nowadays than they do to websites,” says Capital City marketing and sales manager Larry Kantrowitz. “We decided social media was our best form of marketing.”

According to the 2012 Social Media Marketing Industry Report, 43 percent of people aged 20 to 29 spend more than ten hours each week on social media sites and 85 percent of businesses that have a dedicated social media platform as part of their marketing strategy reported an increase in their market exposure. The expansion is paying off for Capital City Package: “We just had our first ever annual white wine sale on January 5 and we used our social media outlets to market that event,” says Mr. Kantrowitz. “We had a great turnout!”

Capital City Package was established in 1968. There is a certified wine specialist on staff to help customers select the best wine from a newly renovated and expanded collection. Capital City Package carries craft beers and a superior selection of liquor, to help customers stock a home bar or plan parties and special events. Located at 784 Collier Road, NW in Atlanta, Georgia, Capital City Package is open Monday through Saturday.
