Wine Storage Bellevue Announces ‘Steve’s Picks’

Upscale Facility Offers Wine Storage Promotion Along With Spring Wines Selected by El Gaucho Wine Director, Steve Smith

BELLEVUE, Wash.—(March 15, 2011)—Wine Storage Bellevue and El Gaucho have devised the perfect wine pairing: The state-of-the-art wine storage facility and Bellevue restaurant recognized for its outstanding wine list are offering exclusive deals on four special wines and a locker rental promotion that provides customers 25 percent off their first six months’ rent.

El Gaucho Wine Director Steve Smith selected the quartet of exceptional wines based upon their incredible value and appropriateness for the season. Guests may purchase any number of bottles or combinations of ‘Steve’s Picks’ through El Gaucho Bellevue by stopping into the restaurant or phoning the front desk at (425) 455-2715. The wine will then be properly stored at Wine Storage Bellevue for pick up between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday or 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

As an added bonus, Wine Storage Bellevue is offering exclusively to ‘Steve’s Picks’ buyers ’25 percent off their first six months’ rent. Instead of arranging a pick-up time, those who elect to take advantage of the promotion can have their wine purchases added directly to a private, all-steel wine locker, where contents will be held at optimal wine storage conditions. Locker pricing starts at just $21 per month.

The inaugural selection of ‘Steve’s Picks’ provide something for virtually everyone. “We are pleased to partner with Wine Storage Bellevue to offer our loyal customers fantastic wines and an opportunity to get to know a truly exceptional wine storage facility on the Eastside. I had connoisseurs and collectors specifically in mind when I chose these wines, which are an incredible value right now because of the wine surplus,” says Smith.
