The Move, delayed.
For a couple of months we’ve been very excitedly telling everyone “we’re moving!” This is still true, and we have no reason to think we won’t end up at Cedar St soon. Not yet, though. A few new considerations, a lot more work… Okay, I submit: it is frustrating. We’re excited for this. C’est la [...]
Moving in One Month!
The final countdown (hey, don’t cue that music) is upon us, and after nearly two decades Brew & Wine Hobby will leave Pitkin St. We’re off to larger (if not greener) pastures: #12 Cedar St. This is still East Hartford. In fact, it isn’t far away at all — 3 minutes away at most if [...]
Closing early on the ‘eves! 2 PM!
Just like the headline reads, we’re closing early Christmas Eve and New Years Eve. 10am to 2pm. HAVE GREAT HOLIDAYS! …and drive safe.

Cultures, Cheese, Sake, etc.
Some big news: We’re now getting into cheese making supplies. Many people have asked us if and when we would… well, now. It’s here (er, some of it is). At the moment, we’ve received yogurt cultures, butter muslin, and both rennet tablets as well as the organic/vegetarian liquid rennet. The supply houses are out of [...]
The Holidays are coming! (part 3) Say Cheese!
No, we’re not taking pictures. We’re letting everyone in on a little secret: we have cheeses here. Great cheeses, too. If you’re a fan of Cheddar, the Amish cheese makers at Goot Essa have a pair of fantastic options. Sharp or mild, also some great traditional German style cheese. This is a product line the [...]
Limited Edition Kits, reminder!
If you haven’t placed an order for the Spagnol’s Request kits or the WinExpert Limited Edition, this is the “time is almost up” warning. We had to place the order for Spagnol’s Piazza and Toro already — there are a few “extras,” so if you haven’t ordered and are interested please get in touch with [...]
We will be closed for one day! 10/9/10
I’d like to say this was in preparation for metric day, but a more simple reason is what drives this: Pitkin St will be closed for the morning and part of the afternoon. I recognize the East Hartford police will let some people through as the day goes on, and every year I’ve heard a few people [...]
