Squeezing In A Few More

A few more products, that is. Sometimes the products are all new, sometimes they are new to New Jersey, and sometimes it's just a new vintage of an old favorite. We always try to make room for something new that represents a great value, an important find, or a requested item. So here are some of the newest items on our shelves.

Mastroberardino Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco. The name of this wine is entwined with a legend. According to the story, God cried when he found a corner of Heaven stolen by Lucifer and where his tears fell, there grew the grapes that make Lacryma Christi, which translates as "tears of Christ."  Made from 100% Coda di Volpe grown in volcanic soil, this wine is fermented in stainless steel to preserve its unique, fresh profile.

Pale yellow in color, aromas of pear and other tree fruits complement undertones of white peach and licorice. On the palate, strident minerality and good body make this a well-structured, food-friendly wine. This wine is great as an aperitif, but it also pairs well with shrimp cocktails, Lyonnaise sauces, seafood risottos, and calamari friti.

Lagunitas Aunt Sally. A Unique Dry-Hopped Sweet Tart Sour Mash Ale. We soured the wort on the Hot Side with Lactobacillus for a few days and then brewed up this smooth and hoppy sour. It tastes like a big bowl of fruity candy or some chewable flavored vitamins, but what's the difference? It's sweet, tart, and sassy, just like the tasty cherry pie that your favorite aunt makes. For all the Aunt Sally's out there, You know who you are. 5.7% ABV, 33 IBU. This is the newest member of our year round family.

First Drop Mother's Milk Shiraz. Back after a hiatus, courtesy of

a new supplier. Shiraz is a great summer red, perfect with grilled food and outdoor dining. Here's the 92 point review from Wine Spectator: "Elegant and graceful, but not shy on intensity. Polished, with sarsaparilla, vanilla and bramble notes to the core of lush, juicy raspberry and strawberry. The complexity endures on the long finish. Drink now through 2026." Only $16.99 in the Bottle Club®.

Ballast Point Barmy. Our Barmy is a strong golden ale that lives up to its name...in a way. Some know "barmy" as slang for crazy or wacky. But historically it’s referred to the froth coming from fermenting fruit or beer, a definition that suits this brew made with apricots and orange blossom honey. With a tart fruitiness and a sweet, but not too sugary, finish, the only thing crazy about this Barmy is the amount of flavor. 12% ABV, 25 IBU. Pair with Caprese Salad with Balsamic, Lamb Chops or Rice Pudding.
