A LIMITED EDITION TUSCAN WINE AT A GREAT PRICE
TO HELP SUPPORT THE NJN FOUNDATION

NJN Wine ClubTo help support the NJN Foundation, television journalist Burt Wolf and a group of Tuscany’s most respected wine makers are producing for NJN members only a limited edition of 1000 cases of premium wine made from the area’s finest grape varieties and using the most advanced methods.

The first offering will be a “red”. The blend was created with grapes selected from the optimum growing areas in Tuscany and includes Sangiovese (the base for Chianti) and Merlot. The wine has an intense red color, with elegance, balance and richness that can only come from premium grapes receiving the most skillful attention to detail.

The wine was designed for easy drinking as part of a meal, a perfect wine for almost all Italian dishes and ideal for meat, poultry (especially those that are roasted or grilled) and any dish containing tomatoes. Ideal pairings would also include vegetable or bean- based soups, recipes with mushrooms, and cheeses.

NJN Wine ClubThe label will feature a reproduction of a photograph (as shown on the left) by Lee Friedlander whom the Museum of Modern Art in a 2005 exhibition of 500 Friedlander photographs described as one of the world’s most important photographers. Because this project will support the NJN Foundation, Mr. Friedlander has donated the right to use his photograph.

The idea of reproducing a contemporary work of art on a wine label is not new. In 1945, Baron Philippe de Rothschild began commissioning important artists to create works for his labels. Each year since, reproduced works by artists from Picasso to Warhol have adorned the Mouton Rothschild labels and become the basis for valuable collections. The NJN Foundation limited edition vintage labels are the first to use the work of an outstanding photographer who is represented in the collections of the world’s most important museums.

A wine of this quality would normally retail in the United States for between $30 and $40 per bottle, plus taxes and delivery. Our 12- bottle case is $239 or $19.92 per bottle, plus tax and delivery. Store pick-ups are available and there is free delivery within a 5 mile radius of the distributer in Ho-Ho-Kus. (Fed-ex to NJ, NY and DE is $25 per case)
