Weekend Preview

Most Thursday's, we like to give you a little something to look forward to, and preview our in-store events for the coming weekend. We do have the best store events in New Jersey, and your participation is what makes them so. 

Don't miss the Harley-Davidson raffle, starting in June. Our Woodbridge location is one of only four stores in New Jersey that will have a brand-new Harley-Davidson motorcycle on display during the month of June. That bike will be raffled off at the end of the summer, and we will accept raffle entries at both stores. We'll post more information as soon as it becomes available.

Here's a look at what's coming up at Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville and Woodbridge.

Events in Lawrenceville

It's a wine plus weekend in Lawrenceville. On Friday, we welcome back Robert Cavanaugh, who will present his Beaujolais educational tasting program. Beaujolais wines are ideal for the summer, especially because they can be served when slightly chilled. It's also a perfect wine for your weekend BBQs. This event runs 5-8pm, and is free. Click here for complete information.

On Saturday, we'll have our regular wine tasting, from 2-4pm.  

With more than 20 events currently on our calendar, you can be sure that there's something for everyone. Let's look at next Saturday, for just one example. We're hosting a "Netflix and Chill" tasting, featuring the wines

of Charles Smith. 

One of the most innovative houses in operation today, the Charles Smith Wines portfolio includes K Vintners, Wines of Substance and Charles & Charles. That special tasting runs from 2-4pm, so you can still get home in time to watch the Kentucky Derby.

Looking a little further ahead, we have bottle engravings on the schedule, just in time for Father's Day and college graduations. For a complete listing of our upcoming events, please click here.

Events in Woodbridge

It's another very busy weekend at Joe Canal's in Woodbridge. We start on Friday with a special tasting of Habarita Cocktails. Habarita habanero craft margarita mixes are made with real fruit juices and natural flavors. The calendar says that Cinco de Mayo is next week, so this sampling event is at the perfect time. Click here for more information.

Look for our regular wine tasting on Saturday, from 1-3pm. Click here for the tasting menu.

The biggest event of the weekend, of course, is Sunday's 3rd Annual Art Show and Wine Tasting, to benefit David's Touch.

The 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. We'll have some great wines available for sampling and there will also be snacks for you. Tickets are only $10.

This is an after-hours event, running from 7:30-9:30pm. Begun in 2009, the mission at David’s Touch is to spread David’s contagious smile by delivering hope and joy to children at their greatest time of need. Click here for more information about David's Touch.

Next weekend, we have a double celebration of the Kentucky Derby, with Mint Julep samplings on Friday and Saturday, along with a Leinenkugel's tasting on Saturday.

There are more than 20 events currently on the schedule in Woodbridge. For the complete listing, click here.
