Jalapeno, Chocolate Cherry Among New Wines Hitting State Store Shelves

Nearly 40 wines will be added soon to the shelves of Pennsylvania Wine & Spirits stores.

Among the wines approved by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) last week include Boyd's Cardinal Hollow Jalapeno, Crossing Vineyards Chocolate Cherry Truffle and Shade Mountain Winery Six Dwarfs Mint Wine.

The wines range in price from $8.99 per bottle to $32.99. Eleven Pennsylvania wineries are taking part in the state Department of Agriculture's PA Preferred program that allows the wineries to place a limited number of varietals in select Wine & Spirits stores.

The wines will hit shelves in 30 to 60 days, according to Stacy Kriedeman, spokesperson for the PLCB. It's not yet clear if the wines will be sold in the Wine & Spirits store along Oxford Drive, but the PA Preferred wines will likely have signs identifying them, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
