Holiday Updates and Deliveries

No, we're not going to mention the December holidays. You have enough reminders, so we'll talk about two upcoming holidays.

Holidays

This coming Monday is Columbus Day, which remains a Federal holiday. Both our Lawrenceville and Woodbridge stores will be open normal hours, 9am-10pm, on Monday.

Halloween is just three short weeks away. If you're stopping in at Joe Canal's while you're in costume, please note that masks, paint, make-up, or any other covering that obscures your face cannot be worn into the store. This is a safety issue, and we appreciate your cooperation.

Deliveries

We've gotten in some really great items lately. Of course, that's not really unusual, but we also have some old favorites returning after an absence.

Orin Swift wines are back. For about two years, they did not have distribution here in New Jersey. In their Locations series, look for:

C-1, from Corsica. This Vermentino is so new to market that you won't find anything on their website about this white wine.

CA-3, a California red. The wine has a beautiful hue of dark purple with a crimson band that lines the top of the glass. Aromas of dried cherry and savory plum meld together in an inviting blend of ripe stone fruit. Soft at first the gentle entry leads to a graceful mid-pallet with generous layers of ripe, candied watermelon and black current. A bright band of acidity wraps around all of these flavors and deftly leads into a finish that drips with fullness and length.

We're also now carrying Orin Swift Abstract 2013, Machete 2012, and Mercury Head Cabernet Sauvignon 2012.

Cooperstown Distillery uses baseball themes for their products. We're carrying Beanball Bourbon, a 6 year-old barrel aged straight Kentucky Bourbon that’s charcoal filtered and bottled at 100 proof, and Abner Doubleday's Double-Play Vodka. They are available for $39.99 each.

Werewolf wines are another seasonal favorite. We're getting their Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir. Each will be priced at $6.99 in the Bottle Club®.


Grey Goose VX is the unflavored Grey Goose vodka masterfully finished with a hint of precious cognac. Very limited availability, at $70.99 in the Bottle Club®.
