Taste over 500 Wines Beers & Spirits! 

 

Sunday, September 18, 2011

City of Wildwood's beautiful Town Center

1PM - 5PM

 

 

Lukas Liquor Superstore is thrilled to announce the 5th Annual Amazing Taste for Angels' Arms. We are proud to have been able to help this fantastic charity for the past 4 years - please come help us celebrate The Amazing Taste's 5th Year!
If you've never been to The Amazing Taste before, you have to see it to believe it! Lukas coordinates with dozens of vendors to bring you samples of over 500 wines, beers and spirits.
There are also piles of items to bid on via silent auction or that you can win via raffle! (Had your eye on a piece of lawn furniture or a mini fridge with your favorite beer logo on it? Odds are, you'll see it at The Amazing Taste!)

The event will be held, once again, at the beautiful Wildwood Town Center. Weather permitting, we will be able to USE their beautiful facilities this year (torrential rain moved last year's event under the cover of the parking garage - so this year's event will be held RAIN or SHINE!)

We've made several slight changes
to make this year better than ever...
  • Since we tend to run out of donated food at previous events, this year's event will be catered! There will be a wide variety of food available for everyone (vendors included!) 
  • This year, tickets are ONLY available on the Angels' Arms website... There is a discounted rate for group purchases, so if you will be buying ten or more tickets, you will need to make arrangements with everyone before buying tickets (in other words - you cannot be 'added' to someone else's group purchase after the fact).
  • General Admission Tickets are $35 per person, or $30 per person in groups of 10 or more.
  • RESERVE tickets are $50 each (no quantity discounts). Reserve ticketholders will receive (only one) Riedel wine tasting glass and a special wristband allowing them to taste even more exclusive products.

Any customers who wish to purchase the products they taste can place orders with a Lukas Liquor Superstore associate (at the Lukas table). Special event-only pricing is available to those who place orders at the event.

 

(You cannot purchase any products at this event - purchases must be completed at Lukas Liquor Superstore no later than September 26, 2011 to receive event-pricing.)

 

Lukas Liquor Superstore will donate 5% of ALL sales from orders generated by the Amazing Taste.

AUGUST PICKS OF THE MONTH

Gary:

Coppola "Director's" Chardonnay 

$12.99 750ml

Francis Ford Coppola has two passions in life: making movies and making wine.  So why not take an evening to enjoy watching "The Godfather" and sipping on his wine.  This patricualr Chardonnay is vibrant and rich with appealing notes of smooth oak and apple.  

 
Jon:
Gazela Vinho Verde Rosé 
$5.99 750ml
Up until recently, Vinho Verde Rose was very scarce to find outside of Portugal.  Thankfully, that has changed.  This particular Rose, which is the brother to our best-selling Gazela Vinho Verde, is bright and refreshing with great wild strawberry and cranberry notes. Best of all, it pairs with just about anything.
 
Tim:
Masi Masianco Pinot Grigio/Verduzzo
$15.99 750ml
One of our biggest hits at last month's Flight Club wine class, the Masi Masianco Pinot Grigio & Verduzzo will surprise you! Many people (rightly) associate Pinot Grigio with wimpy wine, but the addition of Verduzzo, harvested at near-raisin ripeness, gives this light crisp refreshing wine a supple richness.  

Adam E:
High West Whiskey Double Rye
$34.99 750ml
This is a blend of 2 year-old & 16 year-old rye whiskies that create a spicy-fruit snap at the beginning (2 yr) & finishes very smooth and mellow (16 yr). A fantastic balance of both worlds.  One of the best rye's to come through our door in a long time. 
   

 Adam C:

Ale Mucho Hoppo Double IPA 

$7.99 22oz

This beer is the newest and highly anticipated release from the Charleville Brewery.  Brewed with Chinook, Tomahawk, Zeus & Columbus hops, this 100 IBU Double IPA will bodyslam your tastebuds with citrus and bitterness.  A slobberknocker of a beer that any hop fan will enjoy.

GOVINO WINES GLASSES ARE HERE! 

EVER HAD TO DRINK A 
GOOD WINE FROM A 
BAD GLASS?

Sure - we all keep our nice crystal at home... but when you're out on the patio or off on a picnic, you can't risk dropping or breaking one of those fancy pieces of stemware! 

Finally - there is a solution!
A stemless wine "glass" that really does look and feel like crystal! 

Govino wine glasses are reusable AND recyclable.
(While we've heard that Govino glasses can be washed in a dishwasher - the high temperatures they experience in home-dishwashing units will cause them to lose their beautiful luster very quickly. For best results - hand-wash is your best bet).

Featuring a unique "dimple" on the bottom of the glass to improve aeration and light dispersal, Govino glasses also have a nifty thumb rest on the side of the glass - you have to try these things out! They fit PERFECTLY in your hand... no more fumbling with stems while playing Bocce in the yard!

You can read more here, but, better yet, just stop by and pick up a set of 4 for only $12.95 this weekend!
