Events in Both Stores
With TV shows like "Moonshiners" and a growing number of products available, you know that the Moonshine category is popular. But, other than going to the backwoods somewhere in the South, how do you know you're getting the real Moonshine experience?
On Saturday, January 31, Tim Smith, creator of Climax Moonshine, will visit our Lawrenceville and Woodbridge stores. Tim Smith is a moonshiner turned legit, and you'll have the opportunity to sample Climax Moonshine and have Tim sign your bottle. He'll be in Lawrenceville (click here for more info) from noon-2pm, and Woodbridge (click here for more info) from 4-6pm.
This is blowing up on our social media, and we look forward to hosting a big crowd for this event.
New Products
From the winery notes: "Castello di Ama San Lorenzo takes its name from the magnificent wide valley that our18th century villas overlook. Castello di Ama San Lorenzo is made from grapes that come from our best vineyards.
Part of the vineyards were planted between 1974 and 1978, at an average density of 3,000 vines per hectare, while newer plantings at a density of 5,300 vines per hectare, starting in 1996 and continuing to the present date, replace the outdated vineyards.
Castello di Ama San Lorenzo is an extraordinarily elegant, powerful and intense wine. Undoubtedly it represents the perfect picture of the uniqueness of our territory. The varieties, grafted onto rootstock 420, are 80% Sangiovese and 20% Malvasia Nera and Merlot.
A ruby red that is at the same time luminous, lively, and intense. The bouquet is composed of wild red berry fruit. A gorgeous, aromatic marriage of fruit and spice mark an impressive attack, in a wine that is overall refined and stylish.
At this writing, there are about 5 cases available in Lawrenceville only. This will be available in Woodbridge next week. The release price was $52, but it's on sale in the Bottle Club® for only $44.99.
Ripped from the Headlines
There's an unnamed state near New Jersey that is what's called a "Control State". That means wine and spirits must be purchased from the state, not a small, locally-owned business. There are about a dozen such states in the US, and this is an artifact of the repeal of Prohibition.
They're in the news this week because they've stopped taking special orders, state-wide, due to a backlog and manpower shortages. At Joe Canal's, our staff is always ready to accommodate special requests. Some products simply aren't available in New Jersey, but we're always ready to investigate for you.
Have a great weekend!
