Find Them Fast

Your blogger likes to offer reminders about the limited availability of many of the items that we carry. With vintage wines, every one eventually runs out. Craft beer, especially seasonal offerings, are severely time-limited. Without even worrying about how the angel's share robs us of aged spirits, there's only so much room available to most distillers who age their products. As we've also recently seen with Bourbon and Scotch, unexpected increases in demand also cut into available supplies. That's all to reinforce the point that if you see something you'd like to get, you should act quickly.

And most of the products we'll discuss today have limited availability.

Prairie Organic Vodka. Attention to detail is a big reason why we make Prairie Organic Vodka the way we do. We take the time to handcraft its naturally smooth taste, so you can take the time to enjoy drinking it. Prairie’s single vintage organic corn is distilled to taste, not a prescribed number of times. That’s because climate, soil, and moisture levels give each small batch its own unique character. We're also carrying Prairie Cucumber Vodka. In Lawrenceville only.

Codice Red Rioja. We also include returning products under the "limited" umbrella. For example, we're about to accept delivery on a shipment of the Codice Rioja, and we haven't carried the wine in about 2 years.

"Aged for six months in stainless steel tanks and then moved into French and American oak barrels for another six months): Bright violet color. Black and blue fruit aromas are lifted by a peppery nuance and a hint of fresh flowers. Sappy and seamless in texture, offering juicy boysenberry and mocha flavors and a bracing kick of spiciness. Finishes silky and precise, with lingering spiciness and smooth tannins. An off-the-charts value." - 90 points, Vinuous Media.

COMING SOON! Actually, the sale date is a little under a month away, but New Jersey is finally getting New Belgium's Fat Tire Ale.

Named in honor of New Belgium's co-founder's bike trip through Europe, Fat Tire Amber

Ale marked a turning point in the young electrical engineer's home brewing. Belgian beers use a far broader palette of ingredients (fruits, spices, esoteric yeast strains) than German or English styles. Together with co-founder Kim Jordan, they traveled around sampling their homebrews to the public. Fat Tire won fans with its sense of balance: toasty, biscuit-like malt flavors coasting in equilibrium with hoppy freshness. Fat Tire: Pairs well with people.

The nose is sweet biscuity and caramel malts, with subtle notes of fresh fennel and green apple. On the palate, toasty malt, gentle sweetness, and a flash of fresh hop bitterness. The malt and hops are perfectly balanced. 5.2% ABV, 22 IBU's. Look for a mid-March roll-out, and more information about Fat Tire will be posted in the coming weeks.

Resonance Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton District Résonance Vineyard 2013. "Light and focused, showing distinctive subtlety. A layer of crinkly tannins underlies a pulsing core of mineral-accented cherry and red berry flavors, hinting at cinnamon as the finish lingers gently. Best from 2017 through 2023." - 93 points, Wine Spectator. Extremely limited availability.

The Resonance Vineyard Pinot Noir showcases Maison Louis Jadot’s longstanding tradition of making terroir driven wines from the best vineyards. Although clearly new-world, Resonance has old-world Burgundian influences that are seen throughout the wine. Pairs well with grilled or roasted red meats, game, and poultry.

MYX Moscato. MYX Fusions revolutionized the wine industry by leveraging the explosive popularity of Moscato and improving on the experience of drinking it, becoming the fastest

growing wine beverage in America.

MYX Fusions Moscato is an all natural and refreshingly carbonated fruit infused Moscato. The seductive taste of Moscato Wine is enriched with hints of apricot, vanilla and honey. Natural fruit juices and effervescent bubbles refresh the palette and leave with a sweet and subtle finish. We're also carrying the Moscato & Coconut, as well as the Moscato & Peach. Woodbridge only.
