Grand Tasting in Atlantic City

Each year, our staff gets to go to one of several trade tastings and this year I attended the Fedway tasting at the Taj Majal in Atlantic City, NJ with several of my colleagues.  This is one of the largest tastings of the year where wine and liquors are sampled and it takes place in the largest event space available, the Mark G. Etess Arena.

While sampling high end wines like Armand Brignac Ace of Spades Champagne or 1964 Faustino Grand Reserve Rioja you never know who you might see.  From old colleagues, vendors and even a celebrity or two, there is a lot of excitement in the room.

My colleagues were fortunate enough to hang out with Teresa Giudice from the Real Housewives of NJ who was at the tasting showing us her new sparkling wines.  Some other colleagues were fortunate to meet athlete John Starks from the NY Knicks.

These tastings are a great opportunity for the Joe Canal’s Staff to keep up with wine vintage changes, help them to make excellent recommendations, and enable them to sample new products that we think our customers would love.  Stay tuned for some new products sure to hit our shelves soon!
