The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (a legit organization) estimates that Americans consume upwards of 20 billion hot dogs a year. And fittingly enough, this Saturday, July 23rd is National Hot Dog Day. So belly up to our tasting counters this Saturday from 12-4PM for a taste of these wines that go great with America’s favorite meat-in-tube-form.
-Casa Dora Cava: Believe it or not, one of the best matches to rich foods can be a palate cleansing Spanish bubbly. Try a deep fried Jersey Ripper or a bacon and bean-topped Sonoran with this one.
-Mud Pie Chardonnay: Crisp and refreshing, this Mendocino Chardonnay washes down a veggie-topped Chicago Dog or Southern Slaw Dog like nothing else.
-The Culprit Sonoma Red Wine: A Syrah and Zinfandel based Sonoma blend that’s full of rich berry fruits and hints of spice is a perfect match to chili topped Michigan Red Hots or Coneys.
Tuesday, July 26th from 4-7PM we will be hosting a promotion featuring Mikes Hard Lemonade flavors and The Classic Margaritas by Mike. Stop by our Wayne store for samples and fun giveaways. Nothing says summer like a Mike’s!
This week’s Microbrew Monday selections are from Sam Adams Summer Style sampler pack. Check into any one of our three locations this Monday July 25th, between 5-7PM to sample any four of these selections:
Boston Lager: Full bodied and complex with caramel sweetness balanced by distinct citrus and pine notes. A strong, smooth finish and mouth feel.
Summer Ale: Lemon peel and special grains give this seasonal brew a summertime feel with slight citrus and spicy flavors that are crisp, tangy, and refreshing.
East-West Kolsch: This classic German style beer is slightly fruity with lemon citrus from the Alsatian hops that are used in the brewing process.
Rustic Saison: Brewed with Belgian yeast that yields complex flavors ranging from herbal rosemary and floral to spicy clove.
Latitude 48 IPA: Brewed with a select blend of hops from top German, English, and American growing regions located within the “hop belt” of the Northern Hemisphere, this beer creates a distinctive yet not overpowering hop character.
Sam Adams Light: This beer has a smooth, rich, and complex malt character that ranges from roasty to sweet with a subtle hop note reminiscent of mango and peach.
This week's Microbrew Monday selections are from Utah, including an old favorite and a brand new brewery that has just arrived in New Jersey. Stop into any one of our three locations this Monday, July 18th from 5-7PM to sample any four of these craft beers.
Uinta Detour Double IPA- This double IPA pours a deep, yellow color and provides a hoppy aroma and taste rounded out by a long, floral finish.
Uinta Labyrinth Black Ale- A deep black ale with multiple layers of complexity with notes of black licorice, toasted oak and hints of dark chocolate.
Uinta Tilted Smile Imperial Pilsner- This crisp and clean, full bodied pilsner, offers tinges of honey and apple sweetness, with great carbonation and a sharp but delightful bite at the end.
Epic Spiral Jetty IPA- Exemplifying an aggressive hop profile of citrus, floral, and pine this IPA finishes with a delicious, cleansing bitterness.
Epic Brainless Belgian-Style Golden Ale- A flavor palate of rich and complex malt are balanced with spicy noble hops and Belgian wheat make this beer a “no brainer” for summer.
Epic Imperial Red- This boldly flavored double red ale combines the sweetness of caramel malt with dry kettle hop aromas.
Don’t look at the thermometer outside your kitchen window. You don’t want to know just how hot it is out there. Suffice to say, there’s one thing and one thing only you need to stock up on for this weekend: wine that you can chill to cool, refreshing perfection. So stop in to one of our fully air-conditioned stores this Saturday, July 16th from 12 to 4PM for a taste of three wines that are perfect when CHILLED. Then run home, crank up the AC or throw a raft in that pool, pop these in the fridge…and chill.
-Callia Torrontes: A light, tropical aromatic white wine from the highland subtropical growing region of Salta Argentina.
-Michel Thomas Sancerre Lachaume: A crisp, mineral-laden French Sauvignon Blanc with mouth-watering acidity.
-Saint Tropez Cuvee Cep D’Or Rose Provence: A soft, strawberry and blood-orange laden Rose from Provence, France.
-Louis Turquin Morgon: One of the few red wines that’s light and acidic enough to put a slight chill on before serving.
