Dan Aykroyd Is Coming To Gary's Wine & Marketplace of Wayne on April 11th from 10a-1pm! UPDATED With Web Videos








Renowned movie star Dan Aykroyd is making a rare NJ appearance when he brings his new Crystal Head Vodka to Gary's Wine & Marketplace of Wayne, NJ on April 11th from 10:00am -1:00pm.

Mr. Aykroyd, whose acting and comedic credits include Saturday Night Live, Trading Places, Ghostbusters and I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, will be at Gary's Wine & Marketplace of Wayne to sign bottles of his new vodka Crystal Head Vodka.

This 'Pure Spirit' vodka is a quadruple-distilled vodka made with pure Newfoundland water and triple filtered through Herkimer diamonds. The stunning crystal skull bottle was designed by John Alexander and made by Bruni Glass in Milano Italy.


As part of this special occasion, we will be tasting Dan Aykroyd wines from his Sonoma County Discovery Wine Series! Regionally inspired and modestly priced wine from Dan Aykroyd’s travels.


The event will be streamed live on April 11th from 9:00am – 1:00pm EST on Ustream.TV, allowing viewers from around the world to interact with Mr. Aykroyd and each other through live chat. To view the stream, visit http://www.ustream.tv/channel/garyswine.com-internet-tv. Participants will also have an opportunity to purchase an autographed bottle of Crystal Head Vodka along with his wines at http://www.GarysWine.com and have the signed bottles mailed to you.

This will be an event you don’t want to miss, in person or virtually!


ABOUT CRYSTAL HEAD VODKA
Thousands of years ago, thirteen crystal heads were scattered across the earth – and they are greater and more powerful than anything we have the ability to manufacture today. Their workmanship is perfect: they contain no tool marks and have been cut against the natural axis of the crystal, defying the laws of physics. Some say they are artifacts from the lost civilization of Atlantis, some say they date back to the Mayans, still others say they were created by a higher intelligence.
Brought together, the Crystal Heads are said to contain vast knowledge and enlightenment capable of unlocking our most enigmatic ancient mysteries. Alone, each is believed to house radiant psychic energy, which has magical powers and healing properties.





ABOUT DAN AYKROYD SONOMA COUNTY DISCOVERY WINES
Dan Aykroyd’s affinity for travel has taken him around the globe. Whether visiting Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia or the Americas, Dan makes it a point to visit local wineries, talk to local winemakers and sample their wines.
In his travels, Dan has uncovered some of the finest tasting wines each region has to offer. Inspired by the culture, passion and dedication for producing great wines, Dan has teamed up with some of his favorite winemakers to create a series of regionally inspired and modestly priced wines that represent the best of each terroir.
After the great success of Dan’s first batch of Discovery Series wines, it was only natural for his wine career to mirror his film career by moving from Canadian soil onto the Californian terroir.
For this series, Dan has called upon the expertise of De Loach Vineyards and their proprietor Jean-Charles Boisset. The Boisset estates have been producing wine for centuries. Together they have created wine that perfectly combines the richness of Sonoma County with the traditions of Burgundy and Bordeaux to create a premium experience at a very attainable price.

Earth Day is April 22nd, so what better way to toast Mother Earth than by sipping wines from organic, biodynamic, and sustainable producers that will ensure those vineyards are around for future generations of wine-lovers to come? Our April Wine Club Selections are all wines that are "a good kind of green". Stop by any of our three stores this Saturday, April 18th, for a taste of these and a toast to our lovely planet!

Silverado Vineburg Chardonnay
Silverado's solar-powered, Napa Green certified winery turns out a ripe-yellow apple and orange-blossom-laden single-vineyard Chardonnay from their Vineburg vineyard in Carneros.



Argiolas Perdera Isola dei Nuraghi
Organically farmed grapes indigenous to the island of Sardinia called Monica, Carignano and Bovale Sardo make up this unique gem, with flavors and aromas of ripe berries, licorice, flowers and black pepper.



Duckhorn Migration Pinot Noir
This is a deliciously silky, lightly earthy and cherry-laden cool-climate Pinot Noir from the Anderson Valley, brought to us by our duck-lovin friends at Duckhorn vineyards.
