The fabulous 1950s era sign that Sigel's saved when the Lemmon-Inwood store was demolished recently is about to be put in place at its new home. Jasper Russo had e-mailed that tormorrow would be the day. Then, he messaged back,...
We'd noted a few days ago the collision of booze and 1950s pop culture that has stood at the intersection of Lemmon and Inwood for a half-century. But at the time, I didn't know much about the history of...
Jeffrey Weiss has an interesting story out today on the famed Sigel's sign at Lemmon Avenue and Inwood Road. Turns out, the '50s-era sign is a prime example of "Googie" (not to be confused with Google), which is an...

It's such a gimmick, but it's so cute. Sigel's will take 20 percent off all wines in a category of wine each day through Dec. 13. Yesterday was Italy and Spain. Today it's Chile and Argentina. Here's a list of...
There have been some good sales at other stores that I haven't posted and, no, Sigel's has no special cache with me. It's just that these restaurant-inventory reduction sales slash prices so low that they're competitive with cheap wines. But...
By now you know they're actually wines that restaurants ordered and didn't pick up that Sigel's in Addison wants to move on out. We've got a few spirits this time and half-bottles (including a Ridge '02 cab-merlot) , too. Once...

Jasper Russo, director of wine marketing at Sigel's, sends along yet more restaurant-wines-not-picked-up that are going on the shelves at the Addison Sigel's for fire-sale prices. These are killing me, I tell ya. Laetitia Vineyards and Winery single-vineyard Les Galets...
Jasper Russo just sent me an updated list of additional wines that will be available for fire-sale prices at the Addison Sigel's. Several mentioned in the previous post have already sold out, he says in the e-mail. "With over 500...
For those of you who don't understand how Texas' liquor laws work (this includes most of us), just trust me when I say, in simplest terms, restaurants in so-called dry areas must buy their wines through retailers like Sigel's. In...
Sigel's Elite is offering a free tasting 5 to 7 p.m. next Thursday of three vintage Doms: the 1999, the 1996 rose and the Oenotheque 1993 (oenotheque means wine library) classic French champagnes. You must RSVP here to attend or...

The last time I paid six bucks for Antinori Santa Cristina was...no time. I do remember when it was $6.99 at the grocery store, maybe 25 years ago. So the "grand opening" sale at Sigel's Elite has got some terrific...
