Penn State Alumni Club Tackles Fund-Raiser at the Liquid Learning Center


Thursdays the BottleBlog will feature an update on various exciting things going on at Joe Canal's: Reports of our travels, special event coverage, and more! Today Steve Wernick reports on Penn State's event that was held in the Liquid Learning Center last month.


On Tuesday, October 21, the Central New Jersey chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association held its first wine-tasting event at the Woodbridge store’s Liquid Learning Center. The wine-tasting evening was both for networking and to raise funds for the chapter’s scholarship fund. From both perspectives, the evening was a success.

Nearly two dozen local alumni turned out for the opportunity to taste 15 different wines and enjoy finger food from LouCas restaurant in Edison. The wines were partially football/sports/PSU themed, and included Big House Red and Root 1 Carmenere. In all, 14 of the 15 wines had retail prices under $20, which ensured that the fun evening would also be affordable.

Joe Canal’s Liquid Learning Center is a perfect location for wine-, beer-, or spirits-tasting events. Conveniently located on Route 1 South, near the Woodbridge Center Mall, the store is just off exit 130 of the Parkway. In addition to being a great spot for your group, Joe Canal’s also hosts special events. Recent in-store events have included bottle signings by Danny DeVito, Dan Aykroyd and Nancy Sinatra, as well as an Irish vs. Scotch whisky tasting session, along with a Collector’s Taste of Italy.
