Beat the rush and crowds and tock up now on full and half mixed cases of wine for your Thanksgiving Day Celebration. Discounted up to 15% off full cases.

We have two Turkey Day Wine Picks to make the selection easier for you.

2008 Domain Diochon Moulin-a-Vent Cru Beaujolais

Crus Beaujolais are my preferred reds for Thanksgiving - they are light and flowy, complex and juicy, with great dried raspberry and floral notes. Lush and food-friendly.

Throw two bottles of the 2008 Domaine Diochon Moulin-a-Vent in the fridge for 15 minutes before Thanksgiving dinner and watch your friends and family light up as they try it for the first time. Bright, juicy, friendly and quaffable, and with al the elegance you expect from a Grand Cru.

2009 Gustave Lorentz Pinot Gris

A lush elegant Alsatian white, just begging for turkey. Fermented in stainless steel, this wine is fleshy without being fatty, aromatic an delicious.
With notes of peach, stone fruits and white peper, this wine will be a lovely companion to your turkey, cranberry sauce and sweet potato casserole.

noreply@blogger.com (5PB) — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 19:29:00 +0000

Introducing Jack Daniels Barrel No. 848. Five Points Bottle Shop presents the very special Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select Tennessee Whiskey personally tasted and hand selected just for you.

Watch the video as Jack Daniel's Master Taster Jeff Norman explains what happens to the barrels before the whiskey is added. Hear about the surprising location in the warehouse where these barrels are left to mature. And discover the subtle role Mother Nature takes as the whiskey develops its uniquely intense and robust flavor.

When the barrels reach maturity, each presents its very own characteristic; one might be more sweet, and another present more wood flavors.

It's up to Five Points Bottle Shop to taste and to pick the one they like best so they can share it with all of you.

Find out what barrel they chose on your next visit to Five Points Bottle Shop, either at the Westside location or in Five Points.

Be sure to ask all about the trip.
