Title: Mead Sale Alert
Post by: winterland on September 22, 2008, 05:24:41 PM
I was at Cub at 445 Nathan Lane Plymouth off of 42nd and 169 and they have Winehaven's full stock of Mead and wine. Their Mead was on sale for 7.99
I go to that Cub all the time but had never went in the liquor store. I also picked up a 6 pack of Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale. Their beer prices were the same if not more than MGM Liquor.

I love J-bird's mead also but haven't had a chance to buy any. I wish they had it somewhere close.

Cub has a liquor store?  I've never seen that before.

Love both JB's and WineHaven.  I have been getting quite my share of the Egyptian at fest as of late, my all time fav mead eva' but a few bottles of Winehaven's sweet mead will be a nice diversion!

A small number of Cub Foods have liquour stores attached, think of it like Target and SuperTarget.  That is a good retail price for Winehaven, however if you know the folks at the winery well enough, you can get a darn good deal on the other wines as well.

I'm just waiting for MNRF to be over so I can refill all my gallon jugs with J Bird :-)

Speaking of mead sales...

They will be open Saturdays 1000a - 500p thru X-mas at the farm near Cambridge.  I expect to be there most weekends.

We went out there last year and had a ball.  I'm sure that we'll try to get up there again this year - Fig is all out of his mead!

I'll be up there all day on October 18th (the one Saturday I don't have to teach until December).

October 18th sounds like a good day for a mead run to me.

That's the same day as the Zombie Pub Crawl I think and The Dreg's show at Tillie's.... (someone correct me if I am wrong)

How come all the fun stuff has to be on the same day?!!

I think the dregs are on Friday night the 17th, but yeah the zombie pub crawl though would put a crimp in that one. Don't it always seem the way of things though Muffin??

I was going to go this weekend but would love to see you to say "thanks" for all the kind attention you gave all of us at Fest!  So if I don't make it...Thanks!

We were planning to go at some point this fall, as well.
