Joe Canal's Staff is Treated to a Special Feast


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, Debbie Miller Nelson reports on a special dinner our staff was treated to earlier this week.

The staff at Joe Canal's is fortunate enough to be invited to various industry dinners where we are able to taste dozens of wines while feasting on fabulous cuisine. On Monday, March 14th, the staff from Woodbridge and Lawrenceville joined our distributors from ABD/Opici at Elements in Princeton to do just that.

Elements specializes in local ingredients and they print new menus every day to feature the fresh, local ingredients they have selected that day. We joined our hosts upstairs in a private room where appetizers were passed while we sipped on the Nicolas Feuillatte Brut.

Before dinner started we tasted through about a dozen wines including Chateau Ste Michelle Indian Wells Merlot, Col Solare Red, Beringer Napa Chardonnay, Tait The Ballbuster Red, McManis Petite Sirah and several others. When dinner arrived we were able to enjoy some wine and food pairings, kick back and get to know our hosts better. Dinner featured some amazing selections such as duck liver, pork, Wagyu beef, Foie Gras and John Dory. Do you know any better way to start the week?
