Winestate magazine salutes Nardone Baker's value for money

Winestate cover March-April 2006Our winemaking team is continuing to win us friends. Our newest admirer is the oldest wine magazine in Australia and New Zealand, Winestate.

Winestate tasters have not only recommended our wine but they have awarded us a coveted place in their Top 40 "best buys less than $15" list. 

This list pits our wine against quality drops from the big name brands and other boutique producers. Winestate says the listing, "gives credit to the value wines in the marketplace - wines that would otherwise be overshadowed by their much more expensive cousins." 

The best thing about this listing as far as our team is concerned here at Nardone Baker, is that this is the very first time we have ever submitted wines to Winestate for one of their tastings. Even though we should be getting used to receiving compliments (and medals) for our wines, it is always a welcome surprise to have a third party praise our wines.

The other exciting aspect of this listing is that Winestate is held in high regard by consumers and the wine trade throughout Australasia, so watch this space as other wine lovers like you, discover Nardone Baker wines for the first time. 

 
 
 
 
Mystery bottle - could it be a Riesling? New product on the bottling line

Just when you thought you were familiar with the complete Nardone Baker range, we are currently bottling a brand new member of the family in a longer bottle than usual, and with a stelvin, screw-cap closure.

You can probably guess what it is, especially if we tell you it is a white wine variety.

All will be revealed in next month's Footnotes (NB News) and a number of markets will have stocks available during May.

Our pre-bottling tastings suggest we have another winner on our hands and we will be keen, as always, to hear your comments when you have had a chance to try it too.
Email feedback on our wines anytime - it's always welcome

 
     
 
 
   
Hearts of Gold help Ronald McDonald House
Hearts of Gold 2006Nardone Baker wines shared the spotlight with gourmet chocolates and fashion models in Rhode Island last month, at the third annual Hearts of Gold event, organised in part by Nardone Baker distributor, AGM Distributors. Hearts of Gold is a prestigious event bringing together the whose who of Rhode Island, with top restaurateurs, fashion designers and one of the world's leading chocolatiers, Andrew Shotts. This year, Andrew produced chocolate headpieces for the event's models to wear. 
Nardone Baker and our long-standing importer, Rolivia Inc (MA), donated 12 cases of wine to help meet the $US10,000 fund-raising target to benefit Providence Ronald McDonald House, which offers a home-away-from-home for for families of hospitalised children.
Ralph Fragola, President of Rolivia, Inc. said, “It was a privilege and an honor to participate in the Hearts of Gold promotion ...
"To me, nothing is more important than family, and I consider being able to help raise funds, for families in such an emotional and stressful time, an opportunity to provide a little peace of mind for those families.”
Once again, Nardone Baker Wines was the exclusive supplier of wine for the evening, held on Valentine's Eve, February 13. This year's venue was Gracie's Restaurant.
On the fashion front, exquisite jewellery by Spectrum Award winning designer, Marya Dabrowski, looked fantastic on the models, who were also wearing clothes from one of Providence's hottest salons, Seiren.
