Was looking for a particular Spanish Red that was hard to find and a little old. I was surprised to see that this place had 175 bottles of the particular one I was looking for.

I am thinking about taking a drive up to check this place out, they seem to be priced well, have a great selection of Spanish wines..

Anyone know about this place?

PJ is a great store, particularly for Spanish wine. Be on the lookout for Lopez de Heredia wines, particularly from older vintages. They also carry a decent selection of German wines and grower Champagnes. The one thing I would be careful about is that the store can sometimes feel warm, so I can't confirm the bottles are kept at an appropriate temperature consistently through their time at the store.

The great thing about PJs is that early in the year they have a customer appreciation sale where they mail you a discount card that entitles you to buy anywhere from 1 bottle to several cases of wine at the store during the sale, at the store's cost. The number of bottles you get to buy depends on how much money you spent at the store in the past year. I have gotten some unbelievably good bargains at that sale.

Great for Spanish wine (as you've already heard).

Could be farther south.

I won't tell you how much I got the 76 Bosconia for, but it sure wasn't $119 + tax laugh.gif
I think that is the danger of keeping a blog: you exaggerate everything

Readily accessible from certain parts of New Jersey, as I believe Liza pointed out a long time ago. It is, of course, in the Best Mouthfuls listings:

PJ Wines and Liquor, large and well-priced with a notable selection of Spanish wines.


It's undoubtedly the best retailer in New York for Spanish wines, but it's a gigantic place and great for bargains in any kind of liquor. A trip there is well complemented by a cheeseburger at the Piper's Kilt, just a couple of blocks up Broadway.

Or you can be a lazy sod and have them deliver.

ETA -- In fact, I have to give them credit, my last delivery contained one incorrect bottle, and they sent a guy down to exchange it.

Good call Wilf, that has just sealed the deal.
