Happy Holidays from all of us at Wakefield Liquors. Hopefully the unseasonably warm temperatures have helped you weather the increased traffic in town and help keep potential meltdowns away. I’m not sure where all these people are going but they sure are on the road!
If you need to take your mind off things this weekend, stop on by the WL. We will be featuring some great wines and there will be plenty of friendly staff on hand to help with your holiday selections. We also feature a variety of pre-made gift baskets when you don’t have the time to browse.
Friday from 4-7
Wines from California with Tony
Heitz Sauvignon Blanc 2012 $21.99
The vineyard is organically farmed and the grapes are certified organic. Refreshing and light, this wine is lively with grapefruit and citrus notes.
Ferrari-Carano Chardonnay 2012 $19.99
This full bodied, fruit-driven Chard features apple, pear, and lemon flavors with creamy toasted oak and hazelnuts on the finish.
Freemark Abbey Merlot 2011 $24.99
Sweet oak surrounds dark plum, blackberry and mocha notes. Vanilla oak tannins with hints of cinnamon and clove round out this supple wine.
Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 $37.99
Deep, dark and rich, this Napa Cab is everything you would expect. Blackberry and chocolate notes pair with firm tannins and a spicy finish. Enjoy with a beef tenderloin dinner, like myself on Christmas Day. Thanks, Tracy!
Heitz Cellars Ink Grade Port $37.99
In the early 90s, the winemaker at Heitz planted eleven ancient Portuguese grape varietals to produce an old world dessert wine. Dense with flavors of raisins, plums and blackberries, this sipping wine goes great with chocolate goodies, or all by itself in the arms of a relaxing chair by the fireplace
Saturday from 2-5

Piazzo Chardonnay 2012 $9.99
A wonderful, everyday drinking Chard featuring green apple flavors and lemon. Medium weight and a great value.

Made from 100% Cortese, it is rich with notes of peaches and pears with zingy acidity and balancing minerality.
Carpene Mavolti Rose Prosecco $19.99
Made in the Veneto from 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Raboso grapes, this bubbly is elegant with wild berry and strawberry aromas.
Borgo Salcetino Chianti Classico 2011 $14.99
