New Product Spotlight

We could make a clever Halloween reference here, but you've already heard them all. Meanwhile, we have these new items in our stores.

Underwood Pinot Gris. The Underwood Pinot Gris speaks of a journey across Oregon. Sourcing fruit from vineyards spanning the peaks and valleys of the state, this wine is the perfect everyday refresher, making us nostalgic for our long-awaited Oregon summer backyard BBQs.

Tasting Notes: Lemon, apple and pear.

Bisol Crece Prosecco. The wine is made from Glera, Verdiso and Pinot Bianco grapes grown on the steep hills of the Bisol Vineyards. The first
two varieties enjoy an ideal habitat in the clay-laden earth with a subsoil of marine sandstone known as "crede" that is common to this part of the countryside. This type of terrain is particular and beneficial to the grapes, which do not suffer from aridity during critical periods but instead become notably enriched with noble acids, varietal aromas and fruitiness.

The color is a brilliant, light straw yellow with nuances of green, while the perlage features a myriad of minute and persistent bubbles.

The bouquet of wildflowers is suitably intense, fresh and elegant and emanates an extremely agreeable fruitiness.

The flavor reflects the fruity bouquet with its scents of apples and pears and the overall harmony is completed by a rich and fine sapidity.

Barefoot Winter Red. Sorry, but there's no review currently available for this. However, we're taking this opportunity to remind you of the upcoming visit by Jen Wall, the winemaker at Barefoot. She'll visit the Lawrenceville store on November 8, from 4-6pm, and the Woodbridge store on November 9, from 1-3pm.

Terrapin Moo-Hoo. Moo-Hoo Chocolate Milk Stout - It’s Utterly Delicious. The Terrapin "Moo-Hoo" Chocolate Milk Stout proudly uses cocoa nibs and shells from Olive and Sinclair Chocolate Company to give this beer its great taste! An  appetizing cold weather treat this sweet stout is rich creamy and uniquely satisfying. Beer and Chocolate together they truly make one of life’s great indulgences. 6% ABV, 30 IBU. Scheduled to arrive this week. For more new Craft Beer information, check back tomorrow for the Craft Beer Corner.

Adele Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. There are only 546
cases of this and it comes from 2 vineyards - one in Calistoga and one on Diamond Mountain. There is a good bit of new oak here and it is full bodied, ripe and layered with plum and cassis flavors and a smooth, long finish. We would gladly blind taste this with any $60 retail Napa Cab with full confidence that Adele would equal or surpass it.
