Easter and Passover Wine Suggestions

Happy holidays, friends! We're open this weekend at Joe Canal's for all of your last minute Passover and Easter wine, beer and spirit needs. We're open regular hours on Saturday, 9am - 10pm in both locations. On Sunday in Woobridge, we'll be open from 12:00noon - 4:00pm, and in Lawrenceville from 10:00am - 4:00pm.

Here are some suggestions for wines for your holidays meals if you're looking for something special to bring!

Dante Pinot Noir: This inaugural Pinot Noir for the Dante line has a brilliant garnet color with aromas of sour cherry, dried orange peel, a hint of clove over a back drop of earthy leather. The palate is rich and supple on the entry with pomegranate, sandalwood spice and finishes with a balanced touch of cocoa and coffee. This wine pairs well with sundried tomato pesto pasta, Rabbit Ragu with soft polenta or roasted pork loin with balsamic glazed Brussel sprouts.
Reg: $9.99 / Bottle Club: $8.96

Montes Purple Angel: Montes pioneered the Chilean wine scene by creating super-premium wines, including the Montes Alpha range, and icons such as Montes Alpha M and Montes Folly. Montes also led the way to quality by planting on steep mountain slopes. But Montes, Chile's wine pioneer, also knows when to wait –Aurelio Montes preferred to take his time and develop the Carmenère variety until he was satisfied that it could be a top contender, the very best Montes could possibly produce. It was worth the wait...this new beauty (a blend of 92% Carmenère and 8% Petit Verdot, with 18 months in new French and American oak barrels) is touched by the wings of an angel... a PURPLE ANGEL.
Reg: $55.99 / Bottle Club: $48.99

The following two wines are Kosher!

Baron Herzog Chenin Blanc: This distinctive Chenin Blanc reflects the quality of the Clarksburg appellation in California’s Central Valley. Aromas of white peach and ripe apple are framed by a nice bright acidity. The kosher wine is off-dry, with around 1% of residual sugar.
Reg: $8.49 / Bottle Club: $7.49

Barkan Classic Cabernet Sauvignon: The grapes of this most "classic" of red varieties were grown in vineyards in the Galilee and Golan. Its aroma of wild berries and cherries blends with its tobacco, vanilla barrel bouquet. The wine has fine structured, yet rounded tannins, a long rich finish and aging potential.
Reg: $10.99 / Bottle Club: $9.79
