The story behind Twigs
Twigs is a value label built around the grapes that define the everyday American table: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a Malbec grown organically. We do not have a verified estate story or founding date to hand you, and we will not invent one. What we can tell you is what the bottle does. The Cabernet pours a firm, dark-fruited glass with the cassis and cedar notes the grape gives when it is made for drinking young rather than for the cellar.
This is the kind of wine that fills a Wednesday. Tannins are modest, the finish is dry, and the fruit stays in front of the oak. We have sold Twigs for years to customers who want a real Cabernet at a fair price and do not need a lecture with it.

Which Twigs is right for you?
All three Twigs reds sit at $14.98 a bottle, which is the point of the label. You get a varietally correct Cabernet for the price of a cocktail, and it does not taste like a compromise. Buy one to try with dinner, or take a case for the week and keep a few in the rack. The Merlot sits alongside it at the same money. The organic Malbec is listed at $14.98 as well and sells out quickly, so call the store at (631) 343-7200 before you make the trip for that one.
Firm enough for a steak, cheap enough to open on a Tuesday.
Rounder and gentler than the Cabernet, same $14.98.
Organic fruit at a fair price; check stock before you drive.

Keep it simple. The Cabernet wants fat and salt, not delicacy.
