Features and Picks
No new beers or wines for this week just all your favorites ready and waiting for you! Now on another note…
“ Whatcha having for New Years Eve
and of course New Years Day? ”
For New Years Eve be it sparkling wine or fine champagne we’ve got you covered from $12.99 to $1,299.99 we definitely have something for you and yours to celebrate with. New Years day if you happen to be looking for a classic Riesling to go with your Pork Roast….
Hmmmmm… Pork Roast do we have any Pork Roasts???
Of course we do! roasts, ribs, chops, tenderloins, all here and ready!
But….if you want to keep things simple why not just give us a call and say you want the New Years Eve special prepackaged dinner?
2 - 6oz filets, a pound of King Crab or 2 one pound lobster tails, Au Gratin Potatoes, Asparagus, dessert and a bottle of bubbly all for $140.00!
Now, I’m a traditionalist when it comes to New Years Day meals…Pork and sauerkraut all the way, there’s a little German in all of us after all so when it comes to Pork I only get in the best. Be it our dry aged chops, 8 bone racks and Heritage tenderloins, we like our products and know many of you do as well. If you’re in need of some of these ingredients, give us a call or simply stop on in. We’re here to help you have the best New Years Eve and or New Years Day meal ever.

Final Thoughts 💬
It’s been a very busy year for us here at the Wine Merchant, or maybe it’s the fact that I’m just getting older and slower. Who you ask was responsible for that very busy 2025 well… we have you to thank for that. This business exists for you and will continue to provide you with the same care, comfort and service that so much enjoy offering. Can’t really say “hey, looking forward to next year” because a new year means another birthday, however no matter how you look at it we’re moving forward. We’ll be posting new calendar events next week and calendar be damned we’re all moving forward in 2026 and yes, you’re right, we’re all getting another year older…and I was lucky enough one time to be in that crowd when the ball dropped.
Happy New Year and Best Wishes for 2026 from all of us here at the Wine Merchant!
