Weekend Update

Maybe we should make that "weekends," since we'll talk today about upcoming events at Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville and Woodbridge. The plural probably applies, since we have some great events at both stores over a range of weekends.

Early holiday notice: our store hours on Memorial Day will be 9am-6pm. We will maintain regular hours for the rest of the holiday weekend.

This one is huge: Don't miss the Harley Davidson motorcycle raffle. Throughout the month of June, we will have a brand new HD motorcycle on display in our Woodbridge store. At the end of the summer, there will be a raffle drawing to win that bike. Entries will be accepted at both stores. This promotion is in conjunction with Sailor Jerry Spiced Navy Rum. No purchase is necessary to enter the contest.

Events in Lawrenceville

We have a couple of different tastings scheduled for this weekend. On Friday, we'll have our regular wine tasting, from 4-6pm. On Saturday, we explore this year's hot product category with a tasting of the Best Damn Cherry Cola, from noon-2pm. "Hard" sodas have been booming, and they're a nice change of pace for the warmer months.

With Father's Day and college graduations coming up over the next few weeks, we have some special events that offer outstanding gift-buying opportunities. A wine bottle engraving event will be held on June 4, an engraving of The Macallan will be on June 11, and engraving for bottles of Johnnie Walker Blue Label will be on June 18.

Also on our calendar are tastings of Sailor Jerry Spiced Navy Rum, Hendrick's Gin Cucumber Lemonade, Strongbow Cider and so much more. Click here to see the full Event Calendar for Lawrenceville.

Events in Woodbridge

Please stop in on Friday, 4-7pm, for a Jim Beam tasting. Jim Beam is the biggest selling bourbon in the world, and we'll offer samples of Jim Beam Apple and Kentucky Fire on Friday.

If you haven't yet tried these new flavors, here are brief notes: Jim Beam® and Apple have come together to make history. Introducing the perfect balance of premium apple liqueur and bourbon of distinction. The result is rich with American heritage but with a light, juicy twist. Jim Beam® Kentucky Fire™ is rooted in our bourbon heritage. Our passionate distillers have spiced things up, mixing the world’s finest Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with the flavor of red-hot cinnamon liqueur, delivering a fiery, sweet kick.

Plan on stopping in again on Saturday. We have a special wine tasting/bottle engraving session, from 1-4pm. Even if you're not interested in the engraving, we have some amazing wines on the tasting menu. Click here for details.

But wait, there's more! We also have a tasting of New Belgium beers (you know, the Fat Tire people) scheduled for Saturday, from 6-8pm.

Looking ahead, we have more than a dozen other events and tastings on the schedule. explore cocktail culture with Habarita on May 26 and Hendrick's Gin on June 4. Get a special gift wrap for your purchase of The Macallan on June 17 (along with a tasting). To see the full Event Calendar for Woodbridge, click here.
