Chicken cutlet topped with bruschetta (and fresh basil from the garden!) over polenta. Wish the polenta was creamier but the flavor was there thanks to chicken stock, milk, and butter.

Question for this group, because if anyone knows, someone here does!
Are there any NJ wine stores that deliver to Manhattan (rather than ship)?
I’ve found a couple of Westchester stores that do, generally batched once or twice a week, but haven’t come across anything similar for NJ.
Thanks in advance!
Damn I messed up. I just saw you wanted delivery. My mistake. Eli may be able to help.
Sorry. I get my wine shipped from Wine Library by Fed Ex. They ship it overnight and someone 21 or over has to sign for it. I don’t know of any local NJ wine stores that have their own delivery truck and will deliver to NY. Some might do it locally within a few mile radius of their store, but I’m sure you would have to pay a large delivery fee.
You might call Sparrows in Hoboken. I know they deliver locally with their own truck so you might be able to entice them to go to the city?
Haha
I will ask - thanks
I think the Westchester places have regular deliveries in to - and I’m just guessing here - restaurants or smaller wine stores, so the retail orders piggy back.
I’ve actually paid case shipping from NJ many times because it can still be cheaper (when I’m looking for specific wines), but I’d be surprised if there are no regular delivery into the city type places (I just haven’t come across them yet).
Thanks for the link - will take a look.
No worries - will look anyway. Case shipping usually works out to $2/bottle, so it’s often worth it anyway.
You’re welcome @Saregama. Wine Library has a huge selection and can order anything for you that they don’t have. You can also purchase a Library Pass subscription for $99.99 a year for unlimited free shipping. I order at least once a month so I get good use out of that pass 
Also if you subscribe to their email list they have daily specials, and some of them come with free shipping if you order a certain number of bottles. I have a nice Chateauneuf Du Pape coming tomorrow (with a supposed retail price of $70, on sale for $29.99). I’m taking that to Laurel & Sage in Montclair on Saturday.

When Mr Bean turned 50 I wanted to get him a 50 y/o single malt scotch. Nobody would even help me find one except The Wine Library. They were great. It happened that a 50 year old was a little bit beyond my budget so I got him 2 25 year olds instead.

I would always opt for 2 25’s over a 50…

NYS liquor laws do not allow for interstate delivery for retail purposes, unless you actually, physically make the purchase in NJ and have it delivered by a third party to NYC.

I was going to comment that I thought that was a Rodney Dangerfield joke. “My wife turned 50 last week, I tried to trade her in for two 25 year olds”

That was exactly what he told me - he’d rather have 2 25 y/os as well.

It was a gorgeous evening for al fresco dining. Below is a link to the details and pictures of our dinner in the regular WFD thread.

Not the most photogenic meal, but a delicious 10-hour slow cooker brisket and gravy over a slice of sourdough bread (to soak it all in) with garlic potatoes. Haven’t made this since my dad passed and it used to be one of his favorites.
