CONTENTS

Welcome to what I like to call the “No Frills” Zachys Gazette January is always a different kind of busy for the Zachys buying team. For the first three months of the year (although a quiet time for many), we are insanely busy organizing, tasting, and purchasing all the new-release vintages for the months to follow. I would say that at least 65% of the year’s buying decisions are made in the first quarter.

Take the time to read the following pages VERY CLOSELY as there are some INSANE DEALS in here. We are looking to rip the BandAid off quickly as letting go of wines at such low prices is going to be truly painful. (Many the lowest prices in America!)

1. We are so crazed tasting and buying; there are just not enough hours in the day to sit down and focus on a content-heavy catalogue. To do it right, we want to write new articles and stories, which takes time we just don’t have. 2. Quite simply...WE CAN’T HAVE IT ALL!!! It would be nice if we were collectors, but we are sellers of fine wine. Thus carrying more than one (and in some cases multiple) vintage at a time can create significant operational difficulties, and is not efficient for maintaining a streamlined inventory. So, as much as it pains my buyers (myself included), I have asked them to identify the last-of-bottles and wines where there is no more to get and CLEAR THEM OUT!!! So, this Gazette is all about the WINE and the PRICE as we anticipate HUGE movement on the wine that follow in the next 38 pages.

These offers are a one-shot deal...when they are sold out...THEY ARE SOLD OUT. We look forward to hearing back from you in the next couple of weeks. My advice is simple, DON’T HESITATE! All my best,

Ayala Brut Majeur NV (92WS/92JG) {#154802} .....................28.50 #77 of Wine Spectator’s Top 100 of 2011 “There’s a firm, chalky edge to this minerally Champagne, and mouthwatering flavors of candied lemon peel, green apple, crystallized honey and biscuit. This has an elegant texture and an overall sense of style. Drink now through 2020. 50,000 cases made...92.” WS 11/11.

Bruno Paillard Ne Plus Ultra 1996 (98W&S) {#361398} ......315.00 “It has the raciness of the 1996 vintage without any aggressive edges. The power and tension of the wine feels encapsulated by the structure, yielding hints of Moorish spices and darker tones of salted plums and truffles...it’s the brightness of the wine that gets the heart racing...98.” W&S 11/12.

Chateau de L’Aulee Brut Intense NV {#361826} ....................10.50 “Where have you been all my life? Between refreshing and fat, refined and lascivious. Love this wine...89+.” SWJ 9/12.

Henriot Cuvee de Enchanteleurs Brut 1990 (94WS) (1.5L) {#330816} ..........................................296.00 “The texture lends elegance and the acidity provides structure, setting the stage for opulent flavors of coffee, roasted almond, citrus and vanilla. Fine intensity and balance, with a long finish. It’s reaching its peak and should hold there for some years...94.” WS 11/05.

Jacques Selosse Brut Initial NV (95WA/95SWJ) {#137515} ... 129.00 “...absolutely impeccable...What is more impressive: the definition of aromas and flavors, or is it the wine’s sublime texture? The Initial is remarkable for its nuance, clarity and overall sense of harmony...Juicy apricots, peaches, flowers, crushed rocks and spices meld together on the seamless, utterly impeccable finish...95.” WA 11/11.

Ployez Jacquemart Liesse d Harbonville 1996 (94WS) {#350242} .....................................................122.00 “Mouthwatering, with finely detailed texture and a harmonious array of Fuji apple, pineapple, vanilla, brioche and grated coconut flavors. A mineral base note drives this home and lingers on the finish of coffee liqueur...94.” WS 12/11.

Tribaut-Schloesser Brut NV (90WS) {#331320} .....................20.50 “The refined texture sets the pace for lemon, apple and bread dough flavors in this firm, elegant bubbly, which is dry in style, with an austerity that begs food. There’s nice balance and length...90.” WS 2009.

Ulysse Collin Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut NV 2007 (94WA) {#350243} .......................................................59.95 “It is a big, mouth-filling wine loaded with extravagant Chardonnay fruit. This is a decidedly extroverted, powerful vintage of the Blanc de Blancs...Juicy peaches, mango, passion fruit and French oak wrap around the sensual, enticing finish...94.” WA 11/11.

Bubbles Blowout...Just Because I Can! I don’t usually step in and trump Jeremy in his departments, but we made a very significant purchase this past holiday season for a large corporate client that fell through. I won’t have any issue selling through these bubbles in the long run, but I am an impatient guy! AM

Rosé Brut NV (91BH) {#135586} .............................................33.00 “This attractively scented effort aromatically resembles a true rosé as there is almost no yeast influence to the overtly fruity nose. As with the other wines in the Ellner range, this offers a great deal of effervescence with fine flavor authority and complexity on the lingering and somewhat curiously for a Champagne, a mouth coating finish...91.” BH 1/12.

BORDEAUX Bordeaux is by far the greatest large volume producing wine region in the world. There is more ďŹ ne wine produced in Bordeaux than anywhere else. To kick off 2013, we have surveyed our stocks and the stocks of our suppliers to bring you some of the best pricing possible on wines that have a bit of age to them. Focusing on the 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 vintages, with a few things from further back, we have compiled a selection of wines that are perfect to enjoy now and as is the case with classic Bordeaux, only getting better with age. Bordeaux does not have to cost triple digits; and these pages are ďŹ lled with plenty of wines aggressively priced below $20 per bottle, and with a wide selection of wines from established well-known Chateaux around only $30 per bottle!

Zachys Testimonial “What I like best about Zachys is your customer service team, like Georgette. She e-mailed me advising to wait for better weather to ship my wine to my ofﬁce in South Florida and offered climate controlled free storage. She is also as pleasant over the phone. I have purchased from other on line wine stores and no one has offered this kind of service and recommendations. Employees like Georgette make a difference. Cheers!” Tony 11/12.

Nice lead pencil/graphite and black fruits on the palate, with hints of campfire. Tannins are moderate, but overall this is very well balanced. A touch of woodspice/underbrush on the moderately long finish. Beautiful claret that reminds me of what Bordeaux used to taste like before the proliferation of new oak, micro-oxygenation techniques, and reverse osmosis machines...92.” SWJ 1/13.

Langoa Barton 2007 (92WS) {#152208} .................................45.00 “This has a wonderful nose, with blackberry, currant and cigar box. Complex and full-bodied, with layers of ripe, polished tannins and a very long finish. Juicy, yet refined and agile...92.” WS 3/10.

The Winemakers’ Collection: Denis Dubourdieu No.2 2006 (91WA) {#142917} ..............23.95 “There are 5,000 cases of the reasonably priced 2006 Cuvee Numero 2. A classic Bordeaux...with sweet aromas of black currants infused with tobacco leaf, loamy, earthy undertones, spice box, and cedar. With sweet, noble tannin, medium to full body, and outstanding concentration...The Winemaker’s Selection is a creative project with a different world class winemaker each year producing a wine from a specific parcel of vines at Chateau d’Arsac. The debut vintage in 2005, Cuvee Numero 1, was made by Michel Rolland, and this second offering was produced by the famed professor of oenology at Bordeaux University, Denis Dubourdieu. The third wine, the 2007, will be fashioned by Italy’s renowned Andrea Franchetti. This is intriguing in many ways. It is the same terroir, but each wine producer is given carte blanche authority to do whatever they wish. Obviously Dubourdieu’s 2006 raw materials were less impressive than Rolland’s in 2005, but Dubourdieu has acquitted himself very well...91.” WA 2/09.

BURGUNDY Burgundy, Burgundy, Burgundy…how we love you… how we despise you!!! As a Burgundy lover, you know how seductive and alluring the wines can be, while at the same time how precocious and shy they might be the next day. Additionally, in Burgundy, rarely is there a singular wine made in abundance. Yet every producer seems to make an enormously wide array of wines. As a result there is plenty of Burgundy to be had, it is just in limited quantities. Many great wines are overlooked at ﬁrst release because everyone is chasing a handful of singular wines. That leads us to this year’s ﬁrst Gazette of 2013, where we have focus on an amazing selection of great wines that have just been overlooked. We have taken our prices and further discounted them to make tremendous deals!

RHONE/SOUTHERN FRANCE Over the past decade, the South of France, especially the Rhone Valley, has proven to be the home of the greatest values of France today. The selection of the Rhone Valley is broad and impressive. Everywhere you turn there is a high quality wine from a big name appellation like Chateauneuf du Pape to lesser known regions like Cotes du Ventoux. From the North to the South the Rhone has been on a tremendous roll. We have taken a look at some of our stocks and have determined that these wines have just been here too long and need a good home. Our 2013 Gazette pricing will easily help us ďŹ nd good homes for these off-the-chart wines. This list includes legendary cuvee like Usseglio Mon Auiel Chateauneuf du Pape to Chapoutier Ermitage.

ITALY

For this unique Zachys Gazette, I have chosen to divide Italy to 3 sub-categories that best suit the trends and buying categories that our selection of wines always seems to follow. The categories lack “fancy” titles but simply are groupings of action points and preferences of our clients. The categories are: 1. Super-Duper “Sub $25” Values: This title kind of speaks for itself. Who isn’t looking for that great “nightly” bottle of wine that will over deliver for the price. 2. “Sweet Spot”: Ever since the 1997 vintage hit the market the lion’s share of our Italian wine sells in the $25–$40 per bottle range. Whether it is our diversity of selection or simply what our clients like most, this is clearly the SWEET SPOT and the most sought after category in the store. 3. Premium Plus & The “Trophies”: Deﬁnitely NOT everyday wine but great collectibles for the cellar That’s it boiled down into 3 simple categories. Take the time to read these 5 pages VERY closely. I have put some real steals in here!!! Andrew

SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE Argentina, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa cannot be considered “frontier” wine regions anymore, especially given their storied winemaking histories. Let’s just say that these ﬁve countries are here to stay. What was once a go-to for inexpensive bulk wine is becoming so much more. Wineries owned by families for generations are crafting wines that seem to get better with every passing vintage. Vineyard managers are coaxing the very best out of their soil and winemakers are crafting unique blends and terroir-expressive wines across all price points. The world is starting to notice regions like Australia’s Eden Valley or Argentina’s Patagonia not as curiosities, but as legitimate producers of high quality wine. Whether your favorite is Yarra Valley Chardonnay or Casablanca Valley Syrah (or even if you’ve never heard of either), we have plenty from which to choose. With drastically reduced prices on all wines in this section, we’re determined to “pave the way” for our clients to experiment with premier selections from the most exciting wine regions in the world.

z THE LANDS DOWN UNDER We’ve come a very long way since the days when Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa were only known for Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinotage. Though those three varietals are largely responsible for bringing international attention to the “Lands Down Under,” they are only the very tip of the massive iceberg that is “Down Under Wine.” We now see an ever-increasing demand for the unique, off-beat, and fascinating artisan wines; now critics and connoisseurs are dubbing these wine regions as the most exciting in the world in terms of quality and creativity. You can safely bet that we are following them very closely! This list contains some of our favorite values, and features a wide range of varietals from top appellations throughout the three nations. Combined with an epic 2012 vintage on its way from Australia, an incredible set of new releases from South Africa, AND the booming success of non-Sauvignon Blanc varietals in New Zealand, it’s safe to say “Down Under” has nowhere to go but up!

z MALBEC AND BEYOND—ZACHYS FAVORITES FROM SOUTH AMERICA Chile and Argentina have achieved massive commercial success over the last few years. Chile has cemented itself as a steady producer of solid value wines at nearly unbeatable prices. Argentina has made Malbec a household name and exports more wine to the USA than any other country. Both countries have done a phenomenal job of getting value wines into American wine shop shelves and homes. But there is so much more to both countries than just the numbers. The quality of their wine has only increased with every passing vintage, as the vines get older and a constant influx of winemaking talent further unlocks the potential of South American terroir. We are seeing more and more instances of “good wine for the money” becoming flat-out great wine. What follows is a list of outstanding selections from Latin America...they just so happen to be available at a great price!

“Our desire, capability and energy are channeled into every aspect of the winemaking process from the selection and management of vineyards through to the attention to detail we devote to winemaking: this is our Road to Eden.” - Winery Picked from estate-owned vineyards in New South Wales in the hills around the city of Canberra, Eden Road’s Syrah/Shiraz grapes come from climates much higher in elevation and cooler than the majority of Australia. The resulting wines are elegant, focused, and complex, and each displays a distinct character reflective of its respective terroir. These wines are by no means typical oak- and fruit-driven Australian Shiraz, nor do they attempt to mimic Rhone Valley Syrah. Eden Road is carving out its own niche in the world of wine, and their spectacular wines speak for themselves.

“...soft and well balanced, indulgingly long lasting.” Winery.

Zachys In The Community: 2012 Recap Zachys has been family run in Scarsdale for over 65 years, the brick and mortar storefront at 16 E. Parkway is truly a piece of Westchester iconography. We are continually blessed to maintain this storefront and strengthen our ties to the Scarsdale and Westchester communities. As we continue to grow and adapt to the ever changing world around us, one thing has remained, Zachys commitment to community. Here’s a quick look at what Team Zachys accomplished in 2012 outside the walls of 16 E. Parkway: John Dawson Medical Fund & The TOUGHMAN Triathlon – When our esteemed colleague, John Dawson, was diagnosed with prostate cancer Zachys (and so many clients who have interacted with John) rallied around him to support his treatments. Total Raised $35,000 3 B’s Wine Dinner & Westchester Triathlon – On September 11th, Zachys hosted the 3 B’s Wine Dinner for Strength For Sydney to benefit the SMS Research Foundation. In addition, Andrew headed a team of 6 local friends at the Westchester Triathlon for Team Sydney. Total Raised $40,000 Westchester Running Festival – This year we had 42 of Zachys finest compete in both the ¼ and ½ marathon events at the Westchester Running Festival. Combined we walked, ran and danced, some of us literally, across the finish line in White Plains proudly representing Team Zachys and 14 charities that we hold near and dear. Total Raised $6,500 To close out the year, Andrew flew to Las Vegas to compete in the LV Marathon with all proceeds donated to his race going straight back to Super-Storm Sandy relief here in New York. Total Raised $7,000 It was a BIG year for us in 2012, and it has only inspired us to do MORE in 2013. Stay Tuned!!!

Zachys Emails Are SO MUCH DIFFERENT Than Others...Are You Seeing Them? So, what makes Zachys offers so much different than the rest? • We work VERY hard to tailor our email offers based on your spending history and preference…so you only see what you like. • We leverage our 35+ years of relationships/influence in the wine world to get unique offers out (Many of which are available on emails only) • Our offers are not simply a regurgitation of the “same-old-same-old,” but rather an opportunity to get the inside track on new releases ahead of the competition. A lot of thought and effort goes into our offers, so that we are not like everybody else. We want your email experience to be as satisfactory as if you were here in the shop and we were working with you on a one-on-one basis. But don’t just take our word for it... “The emails we receive are a great way to alert customers to good deals on special wines, and a way of learning about new and well-priced wines from regions we’ve learned to enjoy. While I realize this doesn’t cover every wine available, it’s a good way to selectively learn of new wines, and build up a personal database of things we know we’ll enjoy. (Very useful for ordering off wine lists in restaurants!)” Ross 1/13. If you’re “missing out,” please contact us at cs@zachys.com so we can be sure you are getting the full “Zachys Experience.” AM

MIXED BAG FROM FRANCE This section is a bit of a mixed bag from France. We have wines from the Loire Valley, Corsica, Provence, Beaujolais and Southern France! These are all excellent wines; many of which are not very mainstream. In fact, a few of them are WAY OFF the beaten path. We love them, but we have to part with them as our goal is to ﬁnd good wines homes. These are “our babies” and we are doing all we can to ﬁnd good homes beyond the Zachys cellars.
