Where to find balsamico in Northern NJ?

Does anyone know a place to find balsamico tradizionale in the Essex County area? I'll be visiting for Thanksgiving and want to pick up a bottle as a gift, since I'd rather not have to bring it from California.

Thanks!

    What do you use this for? I googled Balsamico tradizionale to find what it is --- I recently visited X&Co in the Time Warner building - having never heard of this company. They had an incredible balsamic vinegar for about $35 or $65 (I can't remember) - but it was truly something I have never tasted before.

      Thanks so much for the recommendations. As it turns out, I need to stay relatively local, so I'll probably hop over to WIne Library. I was thinking about Fairway, but I be able to get there. And I haven't thought about DiPalo's since I left NYC 20 years ago. I need to get back!

      Happy Thanksgiving!

        If you can pass by Paramus, Fairway has an unmatched selection (in NJ) of over a couple of dozen balsamic vinegars, aged, non aged, light, dark, the whole gamut.

          Do you have time to run into New York to go to DiPalo's on Grand Street? Frankly, I wouldn't buy it from anyone except Lou and Sal.

            They have some decent ones in the cheese/gourmet section at Wine Library in Springfield (on the border with Millburn).
