A very special tasting this Saturday, July 11, 2009

At Gary's Wine & Marketplace, we're all about bringing you the greatest when it comes to wine. So this Saturday, we're offering a preview tasting of a very special Chateauneuf du Pape: Le Vieux Donjon. If you know Chateauneuf du Pape, then you know that this is one of the labels to know. It consistently delivers quality Chateauneuf (the 2006 vintage recieved a score of 93 points from the Wine Spectator), but it costs a pretty penny. So come by this Saturday to any of our three locations in Wayne, Madison, and Bernardsville and taste it for yourself before we we offer it online nationally. While you're at it, pick up a bottle of it for yourself for the special price of $29.99! Normally, this bottle goes for at least $50. Come on down and taste for yourself and you'll experience what a great deal tastes like.

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.

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.

April Wine of the Month Picks - Gary's Wine Club Web Video

Gary Fisch and Wine Club Director Maggie Fox taste two 'green' wines that are their picks for April Wine of the Month at the Wine Tasting Bar in Gary's Wine & Marketplace in Wayne, NJ




2005 Silverado Vineburg Chardonnay

Ripe apple and orange blossom aromas with vanilla and oak in the background. Stone and mineral aromas echo on the palate. Balanced acidity with a silky mid-palate lead to a zesty finish.

$25.99
$37.99
ON SALE!

Qty

2005 Duckhorn Migration Pinot Noir

This medium-bodied wine has bright fruit complemented by ripe and broad tannins that provide great balance and a lengthy finish. The aroma features blueberry, plum, strawberry pie, and toasted oak. The flavors are focused and follow through with ripe strawberry, plum, and cherry, complemented by clove. A lighter style than our Goldeneye, this wine shows the range and suppleness of the Pinot Noir varietal.

Reviews

Wine Spectator 89 points

Rich and savory, with a cherry cola-sassafras aroma that spills over to the palate, giving it a distinctive flavor profile. Finishes with a long, complex, fruity aftertaste, with a hint of mineral. 89 points
