Jackson's Damp January Headquarters

Drink Less, Drink Better

January weather and the state of the world makes it nearly impossible to keep dry. I would argue that dampness is more prudent. A good bottle of wine can really bring a lift of spirit on an otherwise gloomy winter day. Contrary to popular opinion, less can be more. Here are just a couple of examples of some of my favorite wines. Terlan Gewurztraminer from Italy at $29.99 and Angelus Tempo Bordeaux at $31.99  There is no better time to treat yourself to a step up and learn why all wines are not created equal.

Just In Time For This Fall's Wine Making Season

Our 6.5 Gallon Italian Made Glass Carboys Are On Sale For Just $49.99

Due to some sort of world trade anomaly, our 6.5 gallon Italian glass carboys are the least expensive size we currently offer.  We will hold this price as long as our supplier does.  Here we are in January and they still are.

Pre-Tariff Pricing Still Holding On Our Best Sellers

Beat the "proposed" 200% price increase. Chateau La Castillonne Red, our best selling wooden crate Bordeaux of all time, has a sibling. The red has been known for its consistent quality year in an year out. It is a classic 50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that has crowd-pleasing brambly fruit notes, a dryness that lends it self well to pairing with a variety of foods without over powering them, and finishes with firm but gentle tannins.

Chateau La Castillonne White, says “Sauvignon Blanc” on the label but it likely also includes a small amount of Semillon, another important grape from the Bordeaux region responsible for rounding the edges and softening the citrus notes of the predominant grape, giving the resulting wine a luscious structure and mouth-feel.

Try either wine for $10.99 a bottle or grab a wooden crate of 12 bottles for just $108, a savings of almost $2 per bottle. While drier than a typical domestic wine, Bordeaux wines are typically lighter in alcohol and much lower in residual sugar, with minimal chemical adulteration for people who care about such things.  Goes great with tacos.

Won't You Be My Neighbor?

My neighboring building attached to the south side of Cork 'n Cap is available for lease.  Approximately 1500sqft on first floor. This historic Civil War era building would be great for retail or for office space. Even better now that most of the road construction is done. Plenty of parking.  Call or stop by for details.  517-784-0687
