Pierre-Yves Colin is no longer a rising star for White Burgundy. He is one of the stars for White Burgundy turning out some of the most consistent wines in Burgundy today.
The 2010 Vintage is a stellar vintage overall, a classic vintage that has turned out plenty of exceptional wines. Pierre-Yves’ 2010 1er Cru Chenevottes is a great example of the vintage and a delicious one right now!

Zachys Staff Summer BBQ
Every Summer I really look forward to having the non-traditional staff tastings at my house.
Why?
Sitting around a conference room under fluorescent lights tasting new-release wines can be a touch “Stale” and “Boring”. A few years ago we tried a new format in which a large collection of the staff (Salespeople, support staff, accounting, advertising , IT etc .etc.) all have a chance to come to my house, let their hair down and taste new-release wines with their peers.
It is a great way to accomplish a few things…
I get them in a “captive” environment so I know they will taste the wines and really pay attention
It is a great venue to get any issues out on the table (Whether it be staff or client related)
And, most importantly, it is a GREAT way for all of us to be able to hang out and bond as a team outside of work. For me this is the BEST part about these tastings.
Even though it was 95 degrees at the start of the tasting last Thursday…a ton of fun was had by all.
The mixed drinks were a big hit (JM Daiquiri & Silver Slomo), deliciously refreshing and a great new conversational piece for all of us.
The BBQ was a big hit….who doesn’t want to drink Auslese out of magnum paired with BBQ ribs???!!!
Our Guiding Eyes release-dog (YAZ) was one of the hits of the night but each of the sales staff seemed to have a different favorite when it came to the 25+ wines tasted on Thursday.
Be sure to ask your favorite Zachys employee what their pick of the night was.
All my best
Andrew

I could not help but make today’s filming of Andrew’s Angle as Jen and I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary today.
Why am I at work filming this piece and not off in some tropical location raising a glass with Jen to celebrate 20 years? Because we are parents before husband & wife (Or in addition to) and our daughter Julia has her “moving up” ceremony from elementary school to middle school…we could not think of a better way to celebrate the day.
I am so lucky to have found Jen to be my partner…for MANY reasons. First, and foremost, it has been her warmth, love, kindness and gentle compassion that has made her my best friend for the last 20 years and such a special special person.
CHEERS honey…I love you!!
Secondly, having grown up in the Zacharia family, she has a great taste for the finer wines (And bubbles) from around the world. With one of her favorite Champagnes being KRUG…Atta girl. For as long as I can remember she has always had an affinity to this luxury brand and it has become our tried and true celebratory bottle for any of the bigger occasions in our life.
It’s good…it’s rich…it’s floral…it’s balanced…it’s elegant…it won’t break the bank in the category of luxury Champagne…and it’s usually readily available.
And for today…it comes in HALF BOTTLES.
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the past two decades gone by and look ahead to the next two decades to come than with a glass of KRUG with my lovely wife!!
To celebrate it I think it is a must to sneak a few of these “missiles” home so we can catch a quick glass after the graduation ceremony. I hope people will share in our celebration and that is why people who watch this video will see that I am making these rare-format bottles available for only $59/Half bottle. Since they are normally priced out at $75/Bottle…this is a really good deal for what it is.
If you wish to take advantage of Krug Grande Cuvee NV (375ML) {#117877} at $59/Bottle please feel free to e-mail me back at amcmurray@zachys.com or mention viewing this e-mail if calling in or visiting the store.
We look forward to hearing from you.
HAPPY 20th DEAR!!!
All my best,
Andrew
