New & Improved!

On the "New" side of the equation, Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville and Woodbridge offers you some new wines and spirits selections, just in time for the holidays.

We are now stocking three highly-rated wines from Cascina Bruciata. The winery has been in the Balbo family since 1880. The vineyards are in the Rio Sordo area of Barbaresco, in Northwestern Italy. The photo below, taken from their Facebook page, illustrates why travel to wine country is so appealing:

We're currently stocking the Cascina Bruciata Barbaresco (WA 93 points), priced at $39.99 in the Bottle Club®. The Barbaresco Riserva (WA 95 points) is $53.99 in the Bottle Club®, and the Barolo (WA 94 points) is $59.99 in the Bottle Club®.

What to look for on the shelves at Joe Canal's

"The nose on the Barolo has an aristocratic character and the wine comes from one of the most prestigious crus in the Barbaresco DOCG, the Cannubi. The floral notes are well balanced with red fruit flavors (cherries and blackberry). On your palate, it starts with a fresh and lively tannic structure, showing great concentration and a smooth balance. It finishes with a long and extremely elegant after-taste. This Barolo has fantastic aging potential." - Winery notes.

Cascina Bruciata would make great gifts for the wine lover in your life, for your holiday table, or for your own collection.

"Improved" is the watchword for the selections of Skinnygirl® cocktails. The cocktail revolution that started with Bethenny Frankel continued when Beam, Inc. took over the line. The latest cocktail to our shelves is the Sweet 'n Tart Grapefruit Margarita.

Using premium Silver Tequila with agave nectar like their first sensation, Skinnygirl® Sweet 'n Tart Grapefruit Margarita manages to create a citrusy splash all her own. Quite simply, it's citrus meets delicious with the newest low-cal gal. And it's only $12.09 in the Bottle Club®.

"New & Improved" applies to the entire Canal's Family Selection portfolio. As we detailed in a previous post, the Canal's Family Selection spirits come from hand-selected barrels, and are limited in quantity. Look for the in-store display that features Blanton's, Elijah Craig, Jefferson's Reserve and Knob Creek. These are perfect gift items, and ideal for your home bar.

And as if that's not enough of a selection, our stores now have a variety of gift sets available.
