Cooperstown Wine & Spirits

As of Friday March 20th, the State of New York is still allowing wine & liquor stores to operate as usual. It's wonderful to be considered an "essential business!" We will be open Saturday the 21st normal hours, 10am-8pm, but to safeguard the health of our employees, we do expect to have changes to hours for the coming week; please check back here for updates. Also, we've been advised by the State Liquor Authority to check with them daily for updates to status as essential. I...f we are ordered to close, we will update everyone immediately. Thanks, and stay healthy, Your Friendly Neighborhood Booze Peddlers

Cooperstown Wine & Spirits is having a big weekend Pioneer Street Construction Sale! From Thursday September 21st to Sunday September 24th we'll be trying to clear our shelves for some construction work of our own next week while they're tearing up Pioneer St. From Thursday to Sunday, all wines in the store are automatically 10% off and all spirits are 5% on single bottles.... Every day year-round we offer a 10% discount on mixed half cases and 20% on mixed full cases of wine, but from the September 21st to Sunday the 24th, those discounts go to 15% off for mixed half-case (6 bottles of wine) and 25% off for mixed full cases (12 bottles) of wine. Add a bottle of any spirit in the store to your half- or full case and the spirit discount goes from 5% to 10%! And for the first time ever we are offering a big discount on unbroken cases of wine. Purchase 1 full case of 12 bottles of the same wine and get 30% off the regular price! Cooperstown Wine & Spirits will be closed Monday September 25th through Thursday September 28th, so come in and get our best discounts ever this weekend.

So it's hot and humid, which let us face facts, after the winter we experienced we have all been looking forward to. But it is Tuesday, a busy work day, and who has the time or where with all to do a sangria from scratch...not me! Here is your solution. Opici has a beautiful white sangria, in a 3 liter box that is a very nice pre-made, open the box, and pour the glass sangria. Not too sweet, not too tart. Very affordable. Come and taste it today and tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow as well because it is a box and it will hold nicely in your fridge!

Why drink a Gewürztraminer? Why not? Yes, they are a sweeter wine, but in the way lychees are sweet. In the way honey is sweet. Not like eating a tablespoon of sugar. Here is the good news, if you do not care for sweet, this grape varietal also produces wines that are crisp and dry. Yes, a dry Gewürztraminer. They do exist. Gewürztraminers from California and Washington state tend to fall on the sweeter end of the spectrum, those from Alsace on the crisp dry side.... Either way these are a fun summer wine. Stop in and taste Pacific Rim Gewürztraminer from Washington state...and I snuck in a red blend, Wild Meadows also from Washington state, to taste as well!

Tasting today! Columbia Valley: Pacific Rim Gewurtztraminer and H3 Cabernet Sauvignon Come have a sip.
