Art and Wine

To many people, wine is art. Two different people can take the same raw material and create two very different results. Was I talking about wine or art there? Both, actually, showing the common factors between the two. In our world, art and wine exist side-by-side, and appreciating one can help with the other. At Joe Canal's in Woodbridge, we're bringing Art and Wine together for a special benefit event on Sunday, May 1.

Our 3rd Annual Art show is after hours that day, 7:30pm to 9:30pm. This is the event that everyone talks about all year. Our Art show is an exclusive opportunity to get up close and personal with some of New Jersey's hottest artists and purchase directly from the artists, themselves. No middle man. No dealers. This event is a must-attend for any art lover. There are no "other" vendors to get distracted by; this is an art show for the art community. Designed to be a one-of-a-kind event that sits at the nexus of art culture, philanthropy, and wine - we invite you to come and explore.

We're scheduled to pour some of our newest wines. These include:

Moonbeam Sweet Riesling. This Washington state Riesling is moderately sweet and bursting with peach and apricot flavors. Similar in style to an Auslese, it pairs well with creamy cheeses, fruit, seafood, and spicy Asian dishes. And it's an outstanding value!

James Wyatt Untamed Red Blend. Full-bodied with a warming nose of plum, raspberry, baking spices and oak. Well balanced with ripe fruit flavors, natural acidity and integrated tannins. This classic GSM (Grenache/Syrah/Mourvedre) blend has been aged for nine months in oak. Pairs well with game, lamb, grilled vegetables.

Eaglewood Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon. A full-bodied, structured Cab Sauv offering flavors of ripe dark cherries and blackberries with strong spice undertones. This needs some time to breathe, so please decant for at least an hour. I would recommend buying some for the cellar because this will reward you greatly in a few years. If you liked Ridgeline you will love this!

Proceeds from the Art Show will benefit David's Touch. David's Touch believes that the gift of a toy is more than just a present around the holidays. It lifts the spirit of children and encourages smiles on their faces when they need it the most. Toys allow doctors and nurses to create unbreakable bonds with their patients. You see, toys are more than just characters or cartoons filled with batteries and movement – they are small priceless lifelines that each recipient is eternally grateful for.

Admission to the Art Show is only $10. Click here for more information about the event and about David's Touch, which is posted on our website.
