Expert Picks

The autumn months are upon us, and with that comes a change in the foods we eat and beverages we drink. Richer, heavier fare calls for bigger, more substantial wines and spirits. In this Expert Picks piece, our well-read, and always sampling, Product Knowledge team, share some of their go-to fall recommendations. In terms of a “new and exciting” pick, please check out Lindsay’s white Malbec selection below (SKU 27469). While rare to see in our market, many wineries have been dabbling in making white wines from traditional red varieties, with various white Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlots and Pinot Noirs coming across our desks. Please enjoy responsibly, and check back in early October to see what Laura Hurley (our PKC on Kelsey Drive) is recommending this year for Thanksgiving!

Senior Product Knowledge Consultant
Laura began her career with the NLC as a student in 2008, at the Grand Falls-Windsor location. Over the years she found herself taking an interest in wine, spirits, and beer and she needed to know more! She completed training in Product Knowledge Correspondence levels one, two, and three and before she knew it the International Sommelier Guild levels one and two were under her belt as well. In 2016 she took on a new role within the NLC as Product Knowledge Consultant at the Blackmarsh Road location in St. John’s. Always learning, she completed any training opportunities available to her, including the completion of the Cicerone program. In 2018 she found her way to Kelsey Drive as their PKC, and she still calls this store home today! If you find yourself needing recommendations on wine, spirits, or anything mixology, please go chat with her she’ll be happy to help!
