New Wines – 5 out of 5!

Posted by Cranberry Liquors Around Town, Best_New_Products, Best_New_Wine, Blends, Cranberry_Liquors, Tasting Wine, Wine on trend, Wines for Occasion No Comments

It isn’t very often at all that we taste a new family of wines and decide to bring in all of the wines we taste. Usually, one or two stand out. One or two are, frankly, ‘duds.’

That said, we’ve selected some of our favorites to tell you more about: the Casale del Giglio family of wine.

Not so with the new (to Cranberry Liquors) wines from Casale del Giglio. Located 50 kilometers south of Rome, Casale del Giglio has been making red and white mono-varietal wines for almost 20 years.

So without further ado, Cranberry Liquors is pleased to introduce our favorite, most recent favorite: Casale del Giglio

C.Liquor’s 5 Out of 5

 

Satrico ($15.99) 

A blend of 40% Chardonnay, 40% Sauvignon and 20% Trebbiano Giallo grapes*. This elegant blend reveals a fruity, lightly aromatic yet mineral nose, confirmed on the palate by a pleasing crispness and a lengthy finish.  Satrico is a very drinkable white blend. Great with appetizers and fish dishes.

Chardonnay ($15.99)

 his white wine is produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes cultivated in densely planted rows (over 4,000 vines per hectare) and harvested in early September. A low yield per vine ensures that the grapes will be rich in sugar without losing crucial acidity. This wine reveals acacia flowers, peach and banana on the nose. Serve with grilled fish dishes or white meat casseroles. This chardonnay is authentically and varietally on point, which is a lot to say about your tried-and-true chardonnay.

Petit Manseng ($18.99)

A unique if not obscure varietal, the wine is intensely aromatic, fruity and spicy on the nose, fresh, crisp and flinty on the palate. An exquisitely structured wine which bows out on a seductive, fruit-filled finish. Like all good whites, this one pairs well with your favorite fish dinner.  If you enjoy the adventure of discovering something new, Petit Manseng is your next stop!

Petit Verdot ($18.99)

Usually a minor player in certain red blends, this 100% Petit Verdot is a deep crimson wine which displays an intense, lingering aroma of red berry fruit, cherry, myrtle and juniper. Elegant and full-bodied, with rich velvety tannins, the wine presents a spicy, white peppery finish. Very good with oven roasted meats. This Petit Verdot = a red blend built for spicing things up.

Mater Matuta ($52.99)

 A red blend of Syrah 85% and Petit Verdot 15%. A deep, dense, ruby-red wine which displays outstanding personality both on the nose and on the palate with its aroma of coffee beans, violets, ripe black cherry, coriander, nutmeg and cinnamon. Silky and seductive, but perfectly supported by fine tannins and a pleasing astringency. Mater Matuta Lazio Rosso delivers a long, lush finish.  Mater Matuta is a fine wine as a crowning touch to any gourmet dinner.

If you’re in the mood for trying something new, give this wine family a closer look. As they say at del Giglio:

The future of Italian viticulture relies not only on consolidating the image of its traditional wine producing zones but on its ability to produce top quality wines at favorable prices in areas whose potential is still relatively unexplored.


Hopefully this post finds you warm in a wonderful way on this breezy (dare we say chilly?) day.

Stop in and check these out for yourself, quick before they all fly off the shelf!

Until next time,

Nevermind the Clickbait…

Nevermind the Clickbait…

Posted by Cranberry Liquors About Us, Best_New_Products, Cranberry_Liquors, Wine Spritzer No Comments

Craft beer is still King of Summer.

Spiked Seltzer- Why Do I Care?

Maybe you don’t, but many people are trading in their IPA’s for a lighter sweeter thing we call spiked seltzer. Depending on the brand, there are a myriad of ways in which these cans of summer nectar outshine their predecessors… the wine cooler.

Many people are not aware of what a “malt beverage” really is. Originally, a wine cooler was a wine mixed with juice, kind of like the alcoholic sweet tea sangria.

Sangria, for example, is an excellent example of what a wine cooler could be.

If you’ve ever had a Mike’s hard lemonade, or punished your friends with a Smirnoff Ice, any of many of summer’s carbonated favorites are also known as “Malternatives.”

What does this have to do with Spiked Seltzer?

Simply put, spiked seltzers have been absolutely dominating this summer.

The article (click) with the clickbait title that inspired this post basically credits White Claw for the market domination, but the reality is these Spiked seltzers, similarly to regular seltzers, are increasing in popularity this summer.

The numbers don’t mean anything in that article either, but the reality is apparent: People love these drinks.

White Claw Spiked Seltzer, as well as most of their competitors are:

  • 5% ALC/VOL
  •  100 calories
  • 2g carbs ” making them pretty health happy, gluten-sensitive and keto- friendly if you imbibe.

Who Else Makes Great Spiked Seltzer?

The most exciting drink of this summer (in my humble opinion) is brought to you by… *drumroll*…

Harpoon and Polar?!?!

Yes that’s right folks. Polar, the creators of the awesome summer seltzers like this one:

have collaborated with the likes of Harpoon to make Arctic Summer. 

 

Click here to learn more about Arctic Summer. I discovered it by asking my little brother what it was when he came back from C.Liquors with it. Not only did he know about the Polar/Harpoon epic collaboration, he really enjoyed it.

Naturally gluten-free, 5% alcohol… seeing a trend here people?

Naaaah, Nah Nah Nah Nah… Here Comes the Upstander

bon_and_viv_spikedMaybe the OG Spiked Seltz at our store, “Spiked Seltzer”, or the white cans with the mermaids on them. At least originally, of their 6 ingredients, vodka and seltzer were the primary two.

Since they popped up in 2015, recipes and owners have changed. Now the single brewer from Boston is part of a company is called ‘Bon and Viv,” but the mermaids remain! Read more here

 

Fun fact: these guys used to be 6% alcohol and higher calorie. People were not happy to learn they lowered the alcohol content. (click for link.)

 

Because That’s the Way it Truly Is, Truly-uly-uly is…

Truly_spiked_seltzer_

Last and definitely not least, we’ve got Truly.

From their website:

” Truly Hard Seltzer is pure and clean. It contains no gluten, liquor or spirits. The alcohol (ABV 5%) comes from fermenting all natural cane sugar. Each of our styles has hints of fruit for a delicious flavor and clean finish. Clean

and simple.”

When a company is this upfront about their ingredients, recipe and process, we’ve got a good product people!
These guys are probably the most wallet friendly and also the least “hip”. Must I say more?

We want to know what you think! Are you riding the spiked seltzer waves this summer, or are you Corona (or Kona, for that matter) ride or die, tried and true? And “malternatives”… how do we feel about all that?

Until next time, stay carbonated! It is mid-July, after all…

XOXOXO,

Toast Post! Only one this year…

Posted by Cranberry Liquors About Us, Best_New_Wine, Cranberry_Liquors, Event, Toast of Harwich No Comments

Cranberry Liquors has a date tonight.

We’ll be at the Wequassett (in Harwich) sometime after 6 …casually on time, of course.

But that’s not what this post is about! This is for our awesome customers we look forward to serving this weekend!

Yes, we love supporting the Toast of Harwich. This year we’re bringing the toast! Rather than expounding about a party that hasn’t happened yet, we’re writing to share the sparkly sale.

If you’ve never tried the Ca’Furlan Prosecco, it’s one of the highest acclaimed of its region, and probably the best selling prosecco we carry for $12.99.

Ca'furlan_prosecco

Ca’Furlan Prosecco

It’s been acclaimed as a 90 point, hors d’oeuvre and wallet friendly bottle. Read more on their winery’s page if you’d like (linked at bottom.)

Stop by C.Liquors this weekend, e.g. from 5:00 PM this evening through Sunday at 8:00 PM and get your bottle of this excellent bubbly at 10% off.

We hope to have enough for everyone, and we hope you’ll stop by this weekend and see all of our awesome new product.

Raise a glass of with Cranberry Liquors.

Spring is Springing!

The Savings Continue…

Posted by Cranberry Liquors Craft Beer, Cranberry_Liquors, Cranberry_Liquors_Promotion, Drinking Beer, Event, Featured, Tasting Wine No Comments

If there’s one great thing about Cape Cod, I’d bank on our community.

Cape Codders have this uncanny common thread as an island. Plus, considering this time of year? Well, let’s just say that people are not clamoring over Sagamore Bridge right now with a 5 mile backup. 

Maybe you can also relate to this feeling, like we’ve finally hit the groundhog-snuffed, 6 more weeks months of winter mark.

At this indelible point between half-way over and never-ending, Cranberry Liquor’s is feeling it to0…

So we’re taking matters into our own hands!

If you were on Facebook this morning, C.Liquor’s promised more details on how much we love you.

This was a little bit because we realized we had only two days left to get as many votes as possible to remain champions of Cape Cod Life’s “Best Of Cape Cod” Award.

Nevertheless, Cranberry Liquors does love our customers, so much so that, upon using common sense, we realized the last day of February is on a Thursday.

As if it couldn’t be any more obnoxious, February ends the day before payday.

This means that, although our Craft Beer drinkers will be happy (see further down in post), our Winter Wine Sale attendees may not be able to make the most of the savings.

It was for this reason that Joe decided to extend the sale through the first weekend of March. If you have no idea what sale I am referring to, please feel free to read this.

#celebrategoodtimescomeon

What’s more, the ides of March still curry favor with our craftiest of beer drinkers. The mix-a-six shelf? All those beers will be 20% off throughout the month of March.

Cranberry Liquors NEEDS your help! Please feel free to skip every page until “Lower Cape – Best Liquor Store,” where you can copy and paste these two words: Cranberry Liquors [link to Cape Cod Life Best Of 2019 Survey Monkey.]

Without taking any more of your precious time, C.Liquor’s hopes you will:

1. Take the Cape Cod Life survey here and vote for us! Lower Cape, Best Liquor Store: (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2019-best-of-survey)

2. Take advantage of some major savings, as the Winter Wine Sale has been extended through until the end of this weekend (because we work hard for the money too, dammit!)

3. Get your craft down to C.Liquor’s all March and expect to save 20% on your craft beer purchase from big singles display. (while supplies last, of course.)

As we said before, we love our customers. We love our community and want to show our camaraderie through our least favorite months. Thank you for showing us love back by taking this survey and making us champions (no whammy, no whammy, no whammy!)

We can’t wait to see you this weekend!!!

XOXOXO,

C.Liquors
