Saturday Tastings at Bourbon & Canal

More good stuff for you to taste this weekend! As always, our regular Saturday tastings are free, and run from noon til about 10pm. Stop by to enjoy:

Sauza Margaritas – ready to drink, in a fridge-friendly 1.75L box and tasty. On sale for 9.99, reg. 14.99

New Gewurz – a gewurztraminer wine from Alexander Valley Vineyards. As with most gewurz’s, it’s lightly sweet and full of flavor. One of the best Gewurz’s we’ve tasted for around $10 – a smart buy.

Woodchuck Oak-Aged cider – a limited release for the holidays. Classic hard cider aged in French and American oak barrels for a unique taste experience. More complex and nuanced, with hints of vanilla in the finish. We all liked it and think you will too.
