Friday Grab Bag

It might have been a short work week for most of us, but we still have plenty to talk about today.

Events

New Jersey's own Christina Milian will be at our Lawrenceville store on Friday, September 12, from 3-5pm, for a special Bottle Signing of her Viva Diva wines.

Viva Diva Moscato wines are from Italy's Piedmont region, and are high quality sweet, slightly sparkly wines that are infused with natural flavors of Mango, Peach, Pineapple-Coconut and Strawberry.

This weekend, Lawrenceville will have the regularly scheduled wine tastings, Friday, 4-6pm and Saturday, 2-4pm. The tasting menu is here. The Craft Beer Keg Blowout Sale is still on. Click here to see what's available. We hear that beer pairs well with football, and the NFL does start this weekend. Just sayin'.

Woodbridge will also have the regular weekend wine tastings, from 4-6pm on Friday and 1-3pm Saturday. The tasting menu is here.  Come back between 5-7pm on Saturday for a free tasting of Sobieski Vodka.

Customer Appreciation Weekend

We have so much going on over the weekend of September 19-20-21 that we needed to break it into its own heading. The celebration will go on at both stores, and will include tastings of Dom Perignon, Johnnie Walker Blue Label, and other high-end wines and spirits. Each store will have free food on Saturday, and special discounts will be available throughout all three days.

New Products

Wild Turkey Diamond Anniversary is now available is extremely limited quantities. As a tribute to Jimmy Russell ’s 60 years of service at Wild Turkey, his son, Eddie Russell, a fellow Bourbon Hall of Famer™, created Wild Turkey Diamond Anniversary, an exclusive, limited-edition mingling of 13 and 16-year-old whiskeys that’s as special a Bourbon as Jimmy is a distiller.

Eddie hand-selected rare barrels that had been aging for 13 and 16 years (nearly twice as long as the flagship Wild Turkey 101) that yielded a spirit with tantalizing notes of caramel and vanilla, complete with a spicy oak finish.

This highly allocated Bourbon is priced at $109.99. In Lawrenceville, please check with Store Manager Toni Carver for availability.

Joseph Phelps Insignia is the first proprietary Bordeaux-style blend produced in California. Simply one of the great wines of the world,  Insignia is a Cabernet Sauvignon based wine crafted from six of the Joseph Phelps estate vineyards. We will receive the 2011 vintage release as soon as today.

Of course, Insignia is available in limited quantities at $179.99 in the Bottle Club®. Contact a Wine Manager today to reserve yours.

Grand Baillard Chardonnay is a refreshing white that's perfect for everyday. It's produced from young Chablis vineyards by noted winemaker Pauline Vigneron. Only $9.99 in the Bottle Club®.
