This Might Not Wait

We're giving fine wine enthusiasts a reason to stop in at Joe Canal's before the snow shuts New Jersey down. Since we've all grabbed our bread, eggs and milk, the next necessity is wine. And we have a great choice back in stock.

Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville and Woodbridge will have a very limited quantity of Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere St. Emilion 2010, which was Wine Spectator's 2013 Top 100 wine #2. This beauty rated at 96 points on Wine Spectator, and 94 from Wine Advocate.

Château Canon La Gaffelière is a Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Emilion. Its 19.5 hectare vineyard is located on the southern part of the lower slopes surrounding the historical and picturesque town of Saint-Emilion. For the past twenty years it has produced some of the most admired wines of the region, sumptuous and yet elegant.

From the Wine Spectator review : "This takes the power of the vintage and puts it in its pocket for later, preferring instead to let mouthwatering briar, loganberry, mulberry and blackberry fruit strut its way forward, enlivened with roasted wood spice and supported by suavely but thoroughly embedded iron-tinged structure. Should cruise for two decades. Best from 2016 through 2035. 4,500 cases made."

The regular price of this Bordeaux is $144.99, but it's currently on sale at $124.99 in the Bottle Club®.
