There's Still Time, But Not Much!!

Our stores will be open until 7pm on Christmas Eve, and now you have only six more days to shop. We'll have regular hours (9am-10pm) today through Saturday, 12/21. On Sunday, 12/22, our stores will be open 9am-9pm, offering two extra hours of shopping time. Monday will be 9am-10pm, and Tuesday, 12/24 we'll have an early start, opening at 7am, but closing early, at 7pm.

What else is new? Here's how we can answer that question:

Johnnie Walker Gold Reserve
Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve is a bold, confident Scotch whisky as luxurious and indulgent as its name suggests. A multi-layered blend, it offers a smooth balance of sweet fruits and creaminess that evolves into deeper honeyed tones before finishing in lingering waves of wood, fruit, and light,
sweet west coast (of Scotland)smoke. This is on sale at $69.99 in the Bottle Club®.

Best enjoyed with soda, this vibrant blend is perfect for celebration, landmark moments, or any spirited
occasion shared with friends and family.


Domaine Marc Roy Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 2011

This delightful Burgundy received 92 points from Wine Spectator. Their review: "Smooth and fleshy, with macerated cherry and currant flavors that show hints of sandalwood and licorice. Graceful and beautifully integrated, with a long aftertaste of spice. Best from 2016 through 2025. 250 cases made." With that kind of cellaring potential, this is a great gift for the wine lover, as long as you keep one for yourself. Available in very limited quantities for $55.99 in the Bottle Club®.

The crop is 100% destemmed and slightly crushed before to be transferred into stainless steel tank. The punching of the cap is done twice a day BY FOOT.   The wine is then aged in French oak barrels (70% new) for 12 months.

Ruby color with black cherry hue.  Delicate nose which increases in intensity as the wine is opens. The nose reveals a beautiful red fruit bouquet where the morello cherry dominates, completed by a touch of backcurrant and cherry pit.  The tannins are delicate and ripened, and the wine, even if young, is very promising.  



Siro Pacenti Brunello di Montalcino 2008

To say that every reviewer loved this wine is to state the obvious: WA: 95 points; WS:94 points; WE:93 points; IWC:91 points; JS:93 points; AG:95 points. From Wine Spectator: "Violet, black currant and cherry aromas and flavors define this supple, harmonious Brunello, which is elegant and intense, with dusty yet ripe tannins lending support. It all comes together on the lingering, spice- and mineral-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2017 through 2035. 2,500 cases made." You can find this elsewhere for around $95.00, but at Joe Canal's it's only $61.99 in the Bottle Club®.

Bodegas El Nido Clio 2011, 1.5L

This classic Spaniard is 70% old vine Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. It offers an intense nose of ripe black fruit, showing finesse and elegance. The wine is rich with roasted berry and cassis aromas and flavors, with accents of anise and espresso. A powerful, decadent wine.And because it's the 1.5 liter bottle, this will age very well, but it is better to share something like this. There are very limited quantities of this available as well, and it's priced at $79.99.

If you're still struggling with the exactly perfect gift, you can always see one our our friendly cashiers to purchase a gift card in any denomination of your choosing.
No ugly sweater, and it will be the right size!
