New Release: BOGLE PHANTOM (limited availability)

For those who have been asking, the wait is finally over!  The highly coveted, Bogle Phantom, is now available in our store for a limited time only!

What is Phantom? Here’s a quick snap shot:

Phantom is a unique blend of Petite Sirah (46%), Zinfandel (40%), Cabernet Sauvignon (11%), Mourvedre (3%) that is aged over 24 months in one to two year old American Oak barrels.  Bogle only makes a limited amount of the wine and releases it once every two years to select distributors.  Needless to say, we were lucky enough to acquire a few cases to offer to our customers.

The Phantom features flavors of bright red cherry fruit and black pepper.  It also contains hints of brawny juniper, rich blackberry, and briary boysenberry.  Tones of spicy vanilla and toasted coconut create a firm and intense finish that will surely leave you wanting more.

The tasty, yet affordable blend pairs perfectly with hearty meals of steak, lamb, or barbecue.  If you are looking to enjoy it with a sweet treat then it also pairs nicely with dark chocolates.

Come in to Canal’s by Magaziner and pick up your bottle today!  Be sure to visit our Facebook page for regular updates on sales, new products, and awesome events!

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!!!

Name	ABV	Flavors	Price
Victory Storm King Imperial Stout	9.1%	Storm King is dense and full-bodied, with deep, dark chocolate flavors of roasted malts under a massive hop aroma	$12.99 #07812
Starr Hill Sabbath Black India Pale Ale	7.2%	Dark and mysterious Chocolate malt lends extremely subtle flavor, though mostly gives this beer its color. Powerful hop aromas of lemon, orange, and grapefruit derive from a bevy of West Coast hops.	$13.99 #06955
Captain Lawrence IPA	6.5%	Hops, hops & more hops. This beer is brewed using only the finest US grown hops.  With a robust hop aroma from the dry hopping process this beer delivers on its promise to provide a full sensory assault on your taste buds.	$15.99 #07489
He’brew Rejewvenator	8.0%	Rejuvenate your taste buds with the sacred nectar of California Merlot and New York Concord grapes both fruits infused to create a truly divine species. Inspired by the spiritual brewing traditions of the monks, and the cherished fruits of the Holy Land, this half Belgian-Style Dubbel Ale, half Doppelbock European Lager, is the only hybrid of its kind in the world.	$18.99 #07488
Angry Orchard Crisp Apple	5.0%	This crisp and refreshing cider mixes the sweetness of the apples with a subtle dryness for a balanced cider taste. The fresh apple aroma and slightly sweet, apple flavor make this cider irresistible.	$7.99 #04795
Heavy Seas Big DIPA	10.50%	The Big DIPA is a massively hoppy beer, yet with a surprisingly elegant profile. To a lush malt base infused with rye,  this beer is hopped 4 different times during the brewing process — in the kettle, in the hopback, and it is dry hopped twice after the beer is aged on untoasted white oak.	$19.99 #07211

Christina Milian Bottle Signing at Magaziner Canal’s on September 13, 2013

If you couldn’t make it out to Christina Milian’s bottle signing this Saturday then here’s what you missed…

Guests started arriving early to meet the star.  Some purchased bottles ahead of time while others just lined up and waited patiently for Christina to arrive.  When she arrived she was greeted by claps and cheers from fans who were waiting.  She wasted no time signing bottles for everyone who came out to support her and Viva Diva Wines.  Fans of all ages came to get things signed including CDs, movies, photographs, and of course wine bottles which were being sold at the front of the store for $9.99.  Guests who received our flyer prior to the event even got 10% off their wine purchase!

Since Milian’s birthday is coming up at the end of the month, she was surprised with an AWESOME cake that took the form of her Viva Diva wines.  She was so surprised!

After two hours of signing bottles and snapping pictures she unfortunately had to say her goodbyes.

We would like to thank Christina and all those who made it possible to bring her to our store! It was a great event and we look forward to having more just like it in the near future.

If you missed today’s event, do not worry. There will be plenty more. Remember to visit our Facebook, Twitter, Website, etc. for all the latest info on what’s happening at Magaziner Canal’s.

Also a big thanks to all those who came out to meet Christina today! Without all of you this event would not have been possible.
