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

Dan Aykroyd Radio Interview - Bottle Signing At Gary's Wine
Uploaded by garyswine

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.

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

This Week's Saturday Wine Tasting: Passover & Easter Dinner Wines - April 4th

Both holidays are just around the corner, and as we well know here at Gary’s, we have a lot more choices for our Passover pours than the old standard of sweet concord wine. (But if that’s what the mishpokhe like, we’ve got you covered there too.) Likewise, Easter ham and lamb present opportunities to move get out of that winter Cab-only rut and into some fresh new choices for Spring.

Join us in all three stores this Saturday, April 4th, for a taste of our favorite picks for the Passover and Easter dinner table, including:

Sforno Moscato (Kosher)
A slightly sweet sparkling wine from Northern Italy, this Kosher pour is perfect for either the kickoff or the sweet finale to your Passover celebration.

Binyamina Yogev Chardonnay/Sauvignon Blanc 2006 (Kosher)
A refreshing and vibrant white Israeli wine from Galilee, made from ripe, appley Chardonnay and zesty, citrus-laden Sauvignon Blanc.

Coeur Esterelle Provence Rosé 2008: From the heart of Provence in France, this rosé wine is an iconic sign of Spring: fresh, lively, and light with juicy flavors of strawberry and white flowers. Perfect with Easter ham.

Hevron Heights Isaac’s Ram Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 (Kosher, Madison and Wayne only)
A very special and limited Cabernet from the Judean Hills (we’ll call it Israel’s “Napa Valley”), this is a Kosher Cabernet for Cabernet lovers, with toasty oak, dark berry fruit, good concentration and a lengthy smooth finish.

Domaine Michel Poinard Crozes-Hermitage 2005
This 100% Syrah from a 9-hectare vineyard in the Northern Rhone is characterized by red fruit and spice box flavors, accompanied by elegant structure and finish. The perfect pairing for Easter lamb.
