Gary Fisch of Gary's Wine & Marketplace to be honored Sunday, June 7 as Craftsman of the Year 2009

Craftsman of the Year 2009

The Board of Trustees has selected Gary Fisch as our 2009 Craftsman of the Year. The eighth New Jersey resident to be so honored, Fisch was cited for his knowledge, dedication and promotion of wine appreciation, and for his support of community organizations. Gary Fisch has dedicated his life to learning all there is to know about wine. After many years of extensive study at the Sommelier Institute in New Jersey and at several Windows on the World wine courses, Gary began setting up wine seminars for restaurants and sales staff. In 1987, his love for and vast knowledge of wine lead Gary to partner with his brother Mark to open his first store. Located in Madison, this eventually became Garys Wine & Marketplace and has moved to a larger facility in town. Gary subsequently opened three additional stores in Livingston (since sold), Bernardsville and Wayne. In addition to his entrepreneureship in promoting the trades & crafts associated with wine, cheese and fine foods, Gary has been a steadfast supporter of charitable organizations and events in the communities where he lives and works.

Please join the Trustees, Staff, members and guests of the Museum as we honor Gary Fisch on Sunday June 7 from 2 to 4 PM. Tickets are only $35 which includes the reception, a wine lecture by Gary, and fine food and wine provided by Gary's Wine & Marketplace. NEW - tickets available online HERE!
