End of April Grab Bag

We made it to the last weekend in April. Maybe the temperature will catch up to the calendar, so we can sit outside with our summer beers and rosé wines. Until that happens, we have lots to share today.

Events in Lawrenceville

Please join us for our regular wine tastings this weekend. The hours are 4-6pm today, and 2-4pm tomorrow. Tonight's tasting will be exclusively 90+ Cellars wines, which are new to Lawrenceville.

At 5pm today, we're tapping a keg of Troegs Nugget Nectar. Nugget Nectar Ale will take hopheads to nirvana with a heady collection of American hops. Troegs Imperial Amber Ale is further intensified with whole flower Nugget hops added to our hopback vessel, resulting in an explosion of citrus, resin and pine.

New Products

Not a new product, but a back in stock item. Both stores will get a few cases of the 2010 vintage of Silver Oak Alexander Valley. That's likely the last we'll get of this vintage, before the arrival of the 2011's around the end of summer. If you want a bottle of this classic from California, better act now.

It's Rosé Season. It's just about summer, so we have to have some Rosé on hand. We'll soon receive the new vintage of last year's biggest selling Rosé wines. Tavel Rosé Cuvée Royale, Domaine de la Colombe Rosé, and Saurine Rosé will arrive next week.

La Marca Prosecco, 187ML. La Marca is one of our best-selling prosecco's, and we've just added the 187ML (split) size. This size is great as a wedding favor, since La Marca is a high-quality sparkling wine that earned 90 points from Wine Spectator.

16 Ounce Growler Bottles are new at Lawrenceville. At only $3.99 for the bottle (beer is extra), a 16 ounce fill is the perfect size for a single serving, or to bring to a tasting/sharing event.
