Are you on deck for the Thanksgiving meal this year? We can help. Oakville Grocery offers a variety of home-cooked organic turkey, traditional sides, and scrumptious pies.  Simply order by the Sunday before Thanksgiving and pick up the day before.  Sit and down and enjoy the meal without all the hard work.  And don't worry, it will be our secret. :)

After a year away from loved ones, we're excited about admiring a festive holiday table and devouring a hearty Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends. Thanksgiving doesn't have to be a stressful holiday, though.  We can't cook your turkey for you, but we can give you a guide to what we're using for our holiday meals here at Oakville Grocery.  Peruse a selection of wines, serving boards, spices, spreads, appetizers, and desserts.

One of the perks of being a sister property to a winery is access to its Biodynamic and Organic garden produce!  We're delighted to introduce a series of new salads at our Healdsburg location that feature fresh vegetables from DeLoach winery.  The first salad is a delicious (and healthy!) Lacinato Kale Salad with dried apricots, currants, and golden vinaigrette.

As the summer and fall harvest continues, we will feature heirloom tomatoes, beets, tomatillos, and so much more!  Look for items in the deli case labeled "DeLoach Estate" or ask our friendly staff to share our current offerings.

We're not sure what we're more excited about - the fact that outdoor concerts and festivals are back or the fact that Oakville Grocery grub will be featured at Bottlerock Napa Valley.  Though tickets are now sold out, if you already have tickets and are planning to attend, be sure to stop by our booth for some tasty snacks to keep you fueled for the long weekend!

Last week, Jean-Charles met with our new Oakville Grocery cheesemonger, Todd, to discuss the complexities of pairing charcuterie with Cabernet Sauvignon.  This aromatic varietal - with its dominant tannins and heart acidity can be difficult to pair with the spices in aged meats.  In this episode of JCB Live, Todd and Jean-Charles discover that select salami can actually complement a hearty Cab... and even make you want to drink more!  See how the salami's subtle flavors of orange peel and oregano enhance the flavor profile of the 2018 1881 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon.

After a year of being cooped up inside, we can finally venture outside, enjoy the fresh air, warm sun, and... have a picnic!  There's nothing we enjoy more than a hearty Wine Country Picnic.  We've compiled a group of items that will cover your picnic needs, including olives, nuts, crackers, cookies, salami... even GoVino wine glasses!

The much-anticipated arrival of the 2018 Screaming Eagle has landed at the Oakville Wine Merchant!  Though our supply is extremely limited, we will have some to taste alongside other goodies in our Napa Technology machines starting April 1.  Stop by during our new spring hours and experience the pure magic that is this wine.

We're thrilled to share some exciting updates made this month to improve our guest experience.  We welcome you to stop by and enjoy:

• An expanded cheese and charcuterie case.
