They are there to provide guidance and direction when making selections. They have quite a variety of microbrews both refrigerated and on shelves, a distinct wine and liquor selection beyond average. If you are looking for something rare like Whale's Tale Pale Ale or Death by Coconut Oskar Brewing (just examples), they can special order for your convenience. I am glad there is an American owned business which employs staff that speak English and are passionate about their service. The establishment has this hip vibe to it.

This review was long overdue. I bought a few things as always this is my to go spot for an…read moreexcellent variety of wines specifically when you know what you are searching for. I originally when in looking for Italian or South American wines and to y luck, I found some well rounded options. While I have to say that I am a tremendous fanatic of Italian wines, I have been venturing to explore more in the regions of Puglian, tuscani and Veneto 1- Tenuta Sette Ponti Crognolo 2017 / 750 ml. IMO, this wine was an easy drinkers wine, you don't have to have food to really appreciate this Sangiovesi-merlot blend. This wine offers a very intense bouquet as you open it you can smell the nose strong alcohol 13.5% and I had this wine with a beautiful Pizza pie from my favorite local pizza "Brothers Pizza " ( see my review for this top pizzeria in my neighborhood) The wine lends itself to be paired with red sauce, intense ripe cherries and while it is a high level of alcohol, it feels well balance on the palate. So much so that I bought 3 bottles and we had 1 bottle over pizza and 1 on another occasion while we were chatting with friends and sharing good wine. The price is what I like the most as I did not want to spend more than $20 per bottle, so I was definitely well below my budget. I have had a blended Valpolicella Ripasso-Merlot, which by the way it was way out of my budget at $40. While I do not recall the name now, it certainly was worth the price but is not an everyday drinking wine. 2- Allegrini - Palazzo della Torre 2016 (750ml) Red Wine Italy | Veneto Valpolicella | Corvina , Rondinella , Sangiovese I had seen this wine at the Edison costco a while back and I never got it. A buddy bought it and he shared it with me and it end up being a good solid reliable choice for a wine that can be had as an easy drinking option under $20. This is another blended wine with corvina and Sangiovese being the most predominant varietals that immediately come thru on the palate. I had this wine with grilled pork chops and it came across lighter on the palate when had with food. I had it now a few times, very consistent in terms of quality and smooth finish. 3-Castello Banfi Rosa Regale Brachetto de Aqui This was an excellent choice for a light summer, refreshing sparkling wine. The nose has a soft yet delicate scent of Strawberry, rasberry and slight effervescence that does not impede the palate. In fact the effervescence make this wine an ideal dessert wine as it settles with a nice crisp, dry finish. We paired it with a grilled shrimp salad and I have to tell you all the ladies loved this wine. Depending on where you are this wine can be somewhat expensive $23 to $28 per bottle. 4- Castello Monaci Aiace Salice Salentino Riserva 2015 Negroamaro from Puglia, Italy This wine was picked based on the urge to try something new and different. Totally by chance and as such that is why is at the bottom of my list. Negro Amaro is a not a well know varietal. The name it self translates into Black-Bitter, think of the heel of the boot ( map of Italy) and you know where this wine comes from. This is a blended wine as it is blended with Malvasia, another less known varietal that you hardly ever hear about. I would consider this wine a hate or love relationship or maybe short or long term relationship? Certainly there is no in between, definitely jammy fruit forward wine with a moderate level of acidity that on the first sip can pucker your palate and deliver heat simultaneously. Very strong character for an Italian blended red wine. My suggestion is to have this wine with lamb chops, mouton or pork. We had it with the New zealand lamb chops from Costco, which are totally awesome simply grilled with salt and pepper but that's another review all together. Negro Amaro delivers sophistication to the palate. You nose picks up a strong scent of alcohol, which in terms can tell you there is a high level of heat to the wine. I would say that if you are familiar with sangiovese you will not be disappointed with this wine. Really it was a good talking point during dinner with our family as I am always left to figure out what wines will be used during family dinners. Honestly I enjoyed it but not everyone felt the same. The above 4 bottles were all very good. However, I would recommend you try them in the order listed, Trying the NegroAmaro first may deter your from moving forward. Enjoy and I welcome any suggestions from others who may have visited joe canals in N.J

Attended a realtors wine tasting event at Fine Wines & Liquors recently in East Brunswick, NJ…read morerecently. The store is big with large selection of wine, hard liquor and beer. There were about 30 people attending the event held in the rear of the store. They all seemed to know each other, except for me, who was invited by one of the members, who was hoping that an attorney with real estate experience might be good for her business. Happy to oblige. This business is Asian owned/operated. They had wine experts on hand to describe the variety of grape fermentations being offered. There were ten choices, and we were encouraged to try as many as we wished, from a champagne-like white bubbly, to an expensive red from a vineyard that only produced a thousand cases for national distribution at about $100 per bottle. As part of this event, management was offering a 10% discount on everything purchased by the group. While not the inventory, nor prices of Joe Canal's, Fine had plenty to consider, especially in its wines. Given the broad array, it was a strong alternative if buying local was important to you; even more so if supporting the Asian community was a priority. Having been introduced to ownership who were mingling in the crowd, I can see why having good business ties between them was a benefit to everyone. If my participation in this pleasant event results in new clients for me, so much the better. But, even without such potential, I am happy to have met so many good and interesting people. Anything else remains to be seen.
