JacksonBEER- HI-WIRE MARGARITA SOUR
Picture this: lounging by the pool with a margarita in hand, feeling those summery vibes. Absolute bliss, right? But hold up! Not everyone has the luxury of drive-thru daiquiri shops. Fear not! We’ve got you covered with the Hi-Wire Margarita Sour. It’s the perfect grab-and-go choice for those lazy, sun-drenched afternoons. Plus, at a chill 4.5% alcohol level, you can stay hydrated and keep the good times rolling.
WINE- JUSTIN GIRARDIN 2020 BOURGOGNE CHARDONNAY
Let’s talk about finding hidden gems without breaking the bank. Great wine shouldn’t be an exclusive club. That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce the Justin Girardin 2020 Bourgogne Chardonnay. The Girardin family has been rocking the agriculture game for over 10 generations in the Burgundy region of France. At under 25 bucks, this is a prime example of extraordinary quality that won’t drain your wallet. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or just dipping your toes into the vino world, this white Burgundy will blow your mind.
JennBEER- BUD LIGHT 12 OZ BOTTLE
Now, let’s spice up any occasion! Believe me, ANYTHING can be an occasion if you’ve got the right mindset. Even a simple grilled dinner with the family deserves a touch of magic. Reach for that all-time American classic, an ice-cold Bud Light. It’s got that unbeatable nostalgic factor that takes you back to good times and great memories. So, crack one open and let the good vibes flow!
WINE- ORIN SWIFT ABSTRACT RED ‘18
Need a cozy night in for two? Look no further than the Orin Swift Abstract Red. This Californian delight is dying to be the star of your relaxed evening. Pair it up with a juicy Certified Angus Beef Ribeye, grilled just the way you like it. And hey, go ahead and enjoy the sizzle of a charcoal grill while watching the mesmerizing dance of lightning bugs. It’s the perfect recipe for an unforgettable night.
THERE IS A BELIEF that, in this day and age, it’s becoming increasingly rare to find genuine enjoyment in one’s job. But this doesn’t apply to everyone. We at the Piggly Wiggly Wine Department are genuinely grateful for all of you who chose us as the top spot to indulge in wine AND beer in this fantastic town. We truly value our customers and never take your support for granted. We hope our appreciation shines through in everything we do. A heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for voting us as the best. We always consider ourselves fortunate to have the opportunity to serve you and eagerly look forward to when we “see you at The Pig!” Below we asked our staff to chose one of their best wine selections and one of their best beer selections. Cheers!
JeromeBEER- MILLER HIGH LIFE 7 OZ. PONIES
Cheers to life’s special moments! And when it’s time to raise a glass in celebration, there’s only one choice: the Champagne of beers—Miller High Life Lager. And there isn’t anything like a pony. It’s a toast-worthy treat that elevates any occasion to new heights.
WINE- CHATEAU POUJEAUX ‘20
This wine is a humble masterpiece, showcasing the incredible terroir and capturing the essence of the world’s most renowned wine region. From the rich terroir to that very first sip, it’s an indescribable experience that leaves you speechless. And here’s the best part: it won’t put a dent in your wallet. So go ahead, grab a bottle, and prepare to embark on a journey that will mesmerize your taste buds at your next dinner party.
ScottBEER- HI-WIRE ITALIAN PILSNER
Don’t get me wrong. I love some of the fancy beers. I love sours, hoppy and hazy IPAs, you name it and I’m down. But sometimes, just like Jerome, I like a *beer.* Just gimme a simple, good ‘ol fashioned, adjective free beer. That’s where this Pilsner from Hi-Wire comes in. It is just a simple, excellent, uncomplicated *beer* and it is exactly what it should be.

WINE- CAVALLOTTO BARBERA D’ALBA, VIGNA CUCULO ‘18
This is to wine what Conecuh is to sausage. It is a ten out of ten, no notes. It also happens to be a perfect pairing with a grilled Conecuh sausage. Fire up the grill, sip on a Hi-Wire while those Conecuhs sizzle on the grates, and pull the cork on this perfectly delicious Barbera. I bet that you’ll enjoy this lineup many times this summer.
