curated wines
shelf talkers
Discover something new in Noel’s Curated Wines. Each Apple Valley Liquor location features a special section of wines thoughtfully selected by Noel. You’ll find a mix of great values, lesser-known varietals, and surprising bottles, not just expensive wines.
The selection changes every 2–3 months, so stop in often to see what Noel has discovered for you.
“I’m not writing shelf talkers to sell a particular wine or push somebody’s agenda. I’m using them to share my knowledge, educate customers and help people discover wine in a way that works for them. I know different people will respond to different descriptions, so I intentionally use different approaches—wine knowledge, food, value, history, art, humor, or just plain language. The time I spend doing this is an investment in building trust and making Apple Valley Liquor a serious, trusted wine shop.” – Noel Nichols, Wine Specialist
