More Mom-Friendly Suggestions

You've probably heard that Mother's Day is this Sunday. If your plans for Sunday include wine, beer or spirits, we're happy to offer some suggestions that will brighten Mom's day.

Luna di Luna Prosecco

Nothing starts a celebration like sparkling wine. Whether you're making a toast, or mixing a Bellini or a Mimosa, the bubbles are a sign of good times.

We made a special purchase of Luna di Luna Prosecco, and it's priced very aggressively. Luna di Luna is one of northeastern Italy's best known brands, and this is a delicious prosecco with a fine mousse. Only $9.98 in the Bottle Club®.

Of course, this is the perfect time of year for a fresh rosé wine. We have an assortment of the 2014 vintage rosés in stock, so have a sip of summer.

Laudun Chusclan Gard Saurine Vin de Pays Rosé

Don't worry about the official and very long name of this wine. Let's just call it "Saurine rosé" and enjoy! The blend includes Grenache for structure and Carignan to give it depth. Only $7.96 in the Bottle Club®.

Blis Blast Hot Sauce

Beer not included

If you're the one in charge of the cooking on Sunday, we have a great, new hot sauce that's perfect for wings or anything else that needs a little kick. Blis Blast Hot Sauce combines over three different chilies aged over the course of a year in a variety of oak barrels, including Founders Brewery KBS Barrels! The result is a jam packed, bursting with flavor hot sauce that leaves you wanting more! This one is a staff favorite! Be sure to try Blis Blast Hot Sauce today, Because Life Is Short! Available in Lawrenceville only.

   

Domaine de la Colombe Rosé Coteaux Varois en Provence 

From the winery: "Jubilant red strawberries jump from the glass on this cheerful rosé. The Coteaux Varois is a smaller appellation in the center of Provence. Composed of Cinsaut and Carignan growing in chalky soils, this ultra-fresh wine has fine structure and a fruity profile. A touch of grape tannins on the finish means this is great with a meal, especially alongside pesto, vegetables, herbed chicken, and prosciutto."

From Brandon Bartfalvi, Senior Wine Manager in Lawrenceville: "A light to medium bodied Rose offering light peach and citrus notes with a juicy but clean finish.  Pick up a case or more so you can have it all summer!"

This wine sold out quickly last year. We agree with Brandon, especially at this great Bottle Club® price: $9.96.

Because our Store Manager in Lawrenceville, Toni Carver, is an expert on whisk(e)y, we know that plenty of other mom's enjoy the brown spirits as well. Consider this special offering:

Compass Box Hedonism Quindecimus

Compass Box Whisky has a great backstory: an American making cutting-edge whisky in Scotland.

Hedonism Quindecimus uses grain whiskies of varying ages from five distilleries
to create a riotous, intergenerational celebration of all that the interplay
between grain spirit and American oak can deliver. The joie de vivre of youth and complexity of age combine to create something seductive, mouth-coating and irresistible.

The combination of grain whiskies from different distilleries and of varying ages has created extraordinary complexity and juxtapositions of flavor. Indulgent yet lively, unctuous yet light, you will find a deep, sweet caramel coconut succulence combining with exultant tropical fruits.

46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and natural color. This is an allocated whisky with extremely limited availability. $179.99 in the Bottle Club®.

Happy Mother's Day!
