Saint Amour 2008

39 villages produce wine classified as Beaujolais Villages. Georges and Franck Duboeufâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attractive, cherry-scented wine with its nose of strawberries and blackcurrants shows smoothness and balance. 2008 is a strong, solid vintage in the Beaujolais. Serve slightly chilled. (A1016)

Product of a vineyard of entirely sandy/granite soil, Fleurie seduces with its velvet smoothness, its elegance and its aroma of flowers and fruits: irises, violets, rose petals, peaches, blackcurrants and red berries. Slightly chilled, it is a great accompaniment to a light lunch of sandwiches and salads. (A1019)

This delightfully named cru is the northernmost outpost of Beaujolais, in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saone-et-Loireâ&#x20AC;? region. It is lively, refined and well-balanced, ruby colored with a bouquet of cherries and spices. Very ripe and ready to drink. Serve slighly chilled with roasted or barbequed chicken.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to the Saint of Love" (A1011)

First Prize Label Whites

Beaujolais-Villages 2008

Fleurie 2008

Located at the foot of Mount Brouilly, this is the largest and highest yielding of the Beaujolais Crus with 1,200 hectares (3,000 acres) under wine. This is often a more robust and yet flowery wine than some of the other crus. A bouquet of soft fruits, plums and peaches. (A1015)

For a long time, the Julienas was the most popular of the Beaujolais wines especially among the poets and painters of the historic hill at Montmartre in the early 20th century. The clay soil is favorable for the production of rich, powerful and robust wines of ruby red color, a peach and raspberry flavor and a peony aroma. (A1017)

Chenas 2008

Morgon 2008

$12 $ 88

This is the rarest of the Beaujolais Crus and it enjoys an enviable location next door to the famous Moulin-Ă -Vent. The wine is ruby colored with hints of garnet, well structured with a floral, woody bouquet. Quite deep and rich compared to its lighter cousins, Chenas is a great match with roast beef or chicken not to mention bbq ribs. (A1014)

Chiroubles 2008

$12 $ 88

Here the rich gamay fruit is more vibrant and we find a lttle spiciness on the nose. The granite soil imparts some minerality. Brimming with fruit and flowers, it is one of the most individual wines of Beaujolais. Put out some cold cuts, thin sliced sopressata, good bread and sharp mustard on the side. (A1013)

$11 $14340

The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;terroirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Morgon comes from a vineyard full of crumbling stone and schist. With its deep garnet hue and its bouquet or ripe cherries, peaches, apricots and plums, it is a wine which is fruit-luscious when young and more filled with dark cherries and plums after 2 years. (A1012)

Regnie 2008

$10 $12588

The Cru Regnie is considered to be the most like a Beaujolais Villages with these important differences: more fruit on the nose, more zesty and mouth-filling with a longer finish. A ten minute chill beforehand with a good piece of cheese ...delish! (A1008)

Pouilly-Fuisse 2007

$13 $16188

Bottle

Case

Golden yellow with green hints, the wine has a complex bouquet of grilled almonds, hazelnuts, lime and vanilla. The perfumed nose leads to a rounded palate. (4530)

Macon Villages 2007

$11 $13788

From Macon to Tournus, the Chardonnay grape reigns supreme on the chalky soil. About 40 communes claim the appellation Macon Villages. Attractive golden yellow color, with lemon, spice and flower aromas, the fruit is typical of the Chardonnay grape. (4438)

St.-Veran 2007

$13 $16740

Geographically speaking, its vineyard surrounds the famous Pouilly Fuisse vineyards, which are why some people look for analogies with this great neighbor. With pronounced floral scents, dominated by lime-tree, a nose of honey and a hint of toast, this wine offers a persistent fruity taste and is long on the palate. Served cooled, it will accompany nicely a whole meal (aperitif, fish and seafood, delicatessen white meats, cheeses, dry fruits and pastries). (4535)

Five Fundraisers New Fundraiser Coordinator Fails his First Test of the Summer By Dan Rattiner Frank J. McCarthy, the highly paid Gala Commissioner for the Hamptons, has been fired for scheduling five galas on the same night — June 20. The five galas he scheduled — it was his job to see to it that there were no conflicts in the scheduling of the various galas — were Live at Club Starlight for the Ross School, the Heart of the Hamptons Ball at the Hayground in Bridgehampton, the Love Heals Gala at Luna Farm for AIDS Research in Sagaponack, the South Fork Natural History Museum Safari Dinner Dance in Bridgehampton and the Group for the East End’s 20th Anniversary Gala, Ecofabulous, in Sagaponack. All five took place on Saturday evening beginning at 6:30 p.m. and all ended Saturday evening at 10:30 p.m. All were within five miles of one another. “This guy is about as competent as the guy from FEMA who ran the operation in New Orleans,” said one gala employee, after noting the low attendance and contribution totals at each event. McCarthy was hired last autumn to head up the new Gala Commission after several gala conflicts were noticed in the Hamptons last summer. He had previously worked as a croupier at the Hit ‘n’ Win Gambling Casino in Las Vegas, had attended many galas in that community and was the brother-in-law of the wife of the Associate Mayor of the Hamptons. “He made a really good living as a croupier,” the Associate Mayor Bill Havermeyer, said, when asked about his salary at that time. “He worked

on salary plus commission. He was really smart and he did not come cheap.” It had been the Associate Mayor’s task to find the man for this job. He had hired an executive headhunting company run by his brother, Frank, in Westchester. “It was really expensive to get him,” Havermeyer said. “But we believed he would be worth it.” He said that his salary had to be in six figures and with a performance bonus if no conflicts occurred. Havermeyer suggested that since this had only been the first weekend of galas for the summer

Medical Research Gala Department, Club Starlight at the Ross came into the School Gala Department, the South Fork Museum request came in to the Educational Gala Department, the Luna Farm Love Heals Gala came in to a special AIDS Department and the Ecofabulous came into the Environmental Gala Department. Our informant did not know what the sixth department was, but did comment that nobody has yet filed a request with that department, whatever it was. “None of the six know about the others,” this informant told us. Employees of the Gala Commission have been concerned about the possibility that the Suffolk County DA might investigate the financial arrangements of the Commission, as he is now doing with the financial books of the Town of East Hampton. “The different departments of East Hampton Town, we have been told, had been operating with 40 separate checkbooks,” Associate Mayor Havermeyer said when we asked about this. “It is understandable that it would be difficult to keep everything straight. The Gala Commission only uses 12 checkbooks. And all of this was set up at the very beginning, last August, when they were negotiating to get McCarthy. He drove a very tough bargain. And of course, those were very prosperous economic times.” Although there were just 26 major galas to keep track of and keep from having conflicts, the Gala Commission was staffed with more than 50 people, including some who worked in a department tasked with determing whether or not

The error came about, according to those in the know, because McCarthy had created and staffed six different parallel departments to deal with gala scheduling requests. and he had made just this one mistake, he should be allowed to keep going. But Mayor Bartleberry, after numerous phone calls, overruled Havermeyer and dismissed the Commissioner. He did note that McCarthy had negotiated a good golden parachute. “We will honor our commitments,” the Mayor said. The error came about, according to those in the know, because McCarthy had created and staffed six different parallel departments to deal with gala scheduling requests. These five requests had all come in to five different departments. The Heart of the Hamptons Ball came in as to the
