What We Enjoy

Particularly from Thanksgiving through Christmas, the staff at Joe Canal's are asked for suggestions on the best wines, or other beverage alcohol items, to pair with meals, to serve as aperitifs, or as digestifs. And after we assist our customers, we have to make those same choices for ourselves. A few of our team members told us about their selections.

David Rudd, Floor Manager, Woodbridge: "We drank a no-frills, but delicious, Sangria made with a Carlo Rossi jug wine, fruit brandy, and as much sliced fruit as would fit in a five gallon bucket. We had a gorgeous red from Mercurey (Burgundy) with the turkey. After dinner we had some bottle-aged Dogfish Head 120, Fultons Harvest Apple Pie cream liqueur and a delicious absinthe concoction with lime, sugar and water that tasted like liquid fennel salad."

Mike Reardon, Receiving Manager, Lawrenceville: "We had the Dead Bolt red blend for Thanksgiving. We liked it so much that we'll probably have it again at Christmas. I also had some of the Innis and Gunn Holiday pack."

Lindsey Daly, Supervisor, Lawrenceville: "I'm drinking The Bruery Autumn Maple for Thanksgiving; its a delicious yam beer. For Christmas I'm going to drink mostly stouts; Left Hand Nitro milk stout, Terrapin Moo Hoo chocolate stout, and Founders Breakfast Stout. And we'll start Christmas morning with Bloody Mary's, made with Tito's vodka."
