Thanksgiving Wine Suggestions!

Here are some of our top our wine varietal suggestions for Thankgiving
Visit us in store for more excellent selections!

Top White Wine Pick: Riesling
Riesling wines are a top pick for pairing with Thanksgiving dinner. Riesling’s innate flavors of apple, apricot, honey and its clarifying acidity give it a significant pairing edge with the likes of sweet potatoes, turkey meat or herb-filled stuffing. 
We Recommend: J.J Muller Riesling $9.99 
This Riesling has flavors of crisp apples, limes and passion fruit with a hint of honey

Top Red Wine Pick: Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is a traditional favorite for Thanksgiving. Pinot Noir’s subtle earthy undertones and soft cherry inspired flavors tend to show well with the traditional flavors of turkey and stuffing.
We Recommend: Block Nine Pinot Noir $13.99
Aged nine months in French oak. An authentic tasting Pinot, it is soft, round and spicy with lots of sweet cherry, plum-like fruit as well as medium body, good lushness, a plump, round generous mouthfeel, impressive purity and notes of underbrush as well as oak.

Jagermeister Spice Highlights


Jagermeister Spice Facts:
56 herbs, fruits, roots, and blooms in Original. An
undisclosed number of these were plucked directly
from that formula and reconstituted in Spice.

2 ingredients that spearhead Spice’s flavor profile:
cinnamon and vanilla.

383 quality checks including multiple checks on each
of the raw materials as they’re weighed, milled,
and ground.

78 years since Jäger was born.

1st product innovation launched in the US since then.

Jäger is the 15th largest selling spirits in America despite having only one variant.

Jäger now has 2 variants with the introduction of Spice.

Spice’s ingredients are sourced from, including signatures cinnamon (Sri Lanka)
& vanilla (Madagascar), plus cloves (Tanzania) & ginger root (southern Asia).

4 ingredients whose nations of origin Mast-Jägermeister felt they could safely
reveal to us. Damn you, secret recipe.

200 differents bottle shapes Curt Mast dropped on a stone floor before settling
on the one that broke the least -- the square you’ll be pouring from as soon as you
realize The Spice is LIFE. (that was a Dune joke. You’re welcome.)

100,000 cases available throughout the winter. Better hurry.
