Drink Some Moore

Moore Brothers Wine Company

The last six-pack you drank left you foggy of head and foul of stomach (thanks, Champagne of Beers).

Raise your standards at Moore Brothers Wine Company, where they custom mix six- and twelve-bottle cases of wines whose styles and producers never see Pennsylvania’s draconian, state-controlled liquor stores.

The samplers offer newbie winos a chance to try swill from European family-run winemakers — at a fraction of single-bottle prices. The Bon Marche includes six whites and six reds from artisan producers in France, Italy, and Germany; the Courtier showcases upscale, boutique wineries. The wines are authentic representations of the culture and foods where the grapes are grown.

Additionally, tasting notes are included with each gift box to help you sort your blackberry aromas from your lingering earthy finishes.

Just remember not to overdo it.

Available at Moore Brothers Wine Company, 7200 North Park Drive, Pennsauken, New Jersey (888-686-6673 or wineaccess.com/store/moorebrosnj).
