Gary's Wine & Marketplace

This wine was originally promoted by actor Stanley Tucci! 🥂 A combination of 2 grapes, Albanello and Zibibbo, the SP68 white from Sicily is made by Arianna Occhipinti. She began making her own wine with just one hectare of abandoned vines in the commune of Vittoria, gradually expanding her estate over time. Eventually, she built her own cellar in 2014. Enjoy her phenomenal, hard-to-find white wine with a delicious fish meal. Cheers! #GarysWine #wine #italianwine

French oak vs American oak - what’s the difference? Wine or spirits can be aged in either type of barrel, but the main factors are: French oak tends to be tighter grained and less porous, meaning less oxygen gets into the barrel during aging. American oak tends to have a wider grain. Also, in terms of aromas, French oak tends to have a more floral vanilla characteristic, while American oak gives more of a vanilla extract and sometimes herbal note to the product. #GarysWine #wine #winetips

Beautiful wine is supposed to tell you where it’s from through its appearance, aromas, and flavors. While each sip tells a story, nothing beats visiting the actual vineyard 🍃As we approach #WineTourismDay in November, we’re highlighting a beautiful Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain! Earlier this year, the Gary’s team travelled to the vineyard where the Villota Vina Gena is made. With each sip, our team can reminisce on the breezes from the Ebro River and the wind in the trees. And this is the magic of wine! Tell us in the comments - what beautiful vineyard have you visited? #GarysWine #wine #winelover

A throwback to last week’s Grand Tasting, where we chatted about the Pingus PSI Ribera Del Duero 🍷Made from Tempranillo, Pingus PSI is a project of Peter Sissek, owner and winemaker of his flagship wine Pingus, which retails for about $1,400 a bottle! That’s what makes Pingus PSI so special - it’s the product of a superstar winemaker for just $32.99! Don’t miss this gem - drink it now or cellar for 3-5 years! #GarysWine #wine #winelover

We’ve been on the hunt for reasonably-priced white Burgundy - and this one checks all the boxes! 🥂✔️A new arrival at Gary’s, the Domaine Arnaud Tessier Les Herbeux Bourgogne Blanc is 100% Chardonnay coming from Burgundy’s Meursault village. Meursault wines can be quite expensive, but this rich, vibrant, and mineral white is a sensational choice for a great value of $59.99! Shop it now at Gary’s! #GarysWine #wine #winelover

This wine is so unique, only 3,287 bottles are made per year! 🍷 The Maesta di Santa Luce is made from Syrah, which isn’t a common grape in Italy, but grows fantastically in the south of Tuscany. With flavors of black fruit and hints of spice, this lush red truly overdelivers. So if you’re looking for a rare wine to pair with your grilled meats, look no further than this gem from Tuscany! #GarysWine #ItalianWineMonth #italianwine

Forget what you heard - boxed wines are NOT just for college kids! 📦🍷 Boxed wines are convenient, sustainable, and perfect for entertaining! Once opened, they have about a 30-day shelf life, so you have plenty of time to enjoy. Gary Fisch and Gillian recently tried two boxed Pinot Noirs - Bota Box and Juliet Wine. Watch to see what they thought! #GarysWine #wine #boxedwine #winetasting
