We have two Turkey Day Wine Picks to make the selection easier for you.


2008 Domain Diochon Moulin-a-Vent Cru Beaujolais

Crus Beaujolais are my preferred reds for Thanksgiving - they are light  and flowy, complex and juicy, with great dried raspberry and floral notes. Lush and food-friendly. 

Throw two bottles of the 2008 Domaine Diochon Moulin-a-Vent in the fridge for 15 minutes before Thanksgiving dinner and watch your friends and family light up as they try it for the first time. Bright, juicy, friendly and quaffable, and with al the elegance you expect from a Grand Cru. 


2009 Gustave Lorentz Pinot Gris

A lush elegant Alsatian white, just begging for turkey. Fermented in stainless steel, this wine is fleshy without being fatty, aromatic an delicious. 
With notes of peach, stone fruits and white peper, this wine will be a lovely companion to your turkey, cranberry sauce and sweet potato casserole.

Jack Daniel's Barrel no. 848

Introducing Jack Daniels Barrel No. 848. Five Points Bottle Shop presents the very special Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select Tennessee Whiskey personally tasted and hand selected just for you.

Watch the video as Jack Daniel's Master Taster Jeff Norman explains what happens to the barrels before the whiskey is added. Hear about the surprising location in the warehouse where these barrels are left to mature. And discover the subtle role Mother Nature takes as the whiskey develops its uniquely intense and robust flavor.

When the barrels reach maturity, each presents its very own characteristic; one might be more sweet, and another present more wood flavors.

It's up to Five Points Bottle Shop to taste and to pick the one they like best so they can share it with all of you.

Find out what barrel they chose on your next visit to Five Points Bottle Shop, either at the Westside location or in Five Points.

Be sure to ask all about the trip.

Mixed Six Packs Coming Soon To Five Points

Visit 5Points Bottle in Five Points on Monday, March 7 at 9am and see the Craft Beer Cooler TRANSFORMED.


Five Points Bottle Shop West has been offering MIXED SIX PACKS of craft beer for some time now and it only makes sense to offer the same convenient way to taste and enjoy craft beer to our in-town folks.

American, Euro and more — Dogfish Head, Bell's, Weybacher, Allagash, Tilburg's and even Wells Banana Bread — we run the gamut on craft beer singles.


All those choices, all those labels and styles. Exploring can be fun and we encourage our customers to try new beers. But we realize it can be a costly bummer if you plunk down 10 bucks for a beer you've never tried before and it's not your bag. Choose-your-own, mixed (mix and match) 6-packs and let the fun begin.

Now you will get to choose all 6 (or more) beers in your 6-pack from the 140+ beers we have hand-selected for 'singles' sales — at affordable pricing at both store locations.
