We reflect on 2009 with gratitude, and look forward to a new and even better 2010. Once again ZAGAT has named our New York store best in all categories, and our community of wonderful growers and their loyal supporters continues to grow.

So we thank you sincerely. And we celebrate with another “10% OFF EVERYTHING AT MOORE BROTHERS SALE!” Beginning Friday, January 22nd through Monday, February 1st, 2010, take 10% off the regular price of everything in the store (EXCEPT the pre-mixed samplers and “Special Offering” wines).

And if you aren’t receiving at least one “Special Offering” each week, be sure that we have your current email address, and that we’re on your approved list of senders. “Special Offerings” include our most exciting, limited availability wines, and they sell out quickly. And remember that our New York store delivers wine everywhere in the City, and ships wine to customers in thirty-seven states.

We thank you again, and wish you a happy and healthy 2010!

We currently have no plans to offer them for sale (they’re very expensive to print), but are glad to make these colorful maps available for download in PDF format.

These will print much smaller than the maps in the store, but haven proven handy to have in a pinch.

I wish I’d taken a picture…

Susan and I have been spending as much time as possible together before the season of “business travel” ramps up again. So, on Sunday we prepared a magnificent, braised pork shoulder with Tuscan beans for dinner.

I’d been looking for an “excuse” to crack a bottle of Aljoscha’s latest release of the I Tre Borri (2006) Chianti Riserva, and this frigid Sunday evening, and this meal seemed like a perfect opportunity.

OM*G, was that combination perfect! The richness of the meal is the only reason we didn’t just slam back the bottle in one shot (well, that, and the fact that we had to go to work in the morning…). This wine is a magnificent tour de force rendition of Chianti from the oldest vines at Corzano e Paterno. Don’t miss it, there isn’t a lot to go around!

Here he tells us how he developed the “Herzú” vineyard, where he grows outstanding Riesling, as well as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for his “Alta Langa” sparkling wine (which BTW, is outstanding as well) – DM
