Avalon to hold 15th annual community wide yard sale. (Avalon, NJ) - Those who love yard sales won't want to miss Avalon's 15th Annual Community-Wide Yard Sale which will be held on Saturday, May 8th, 2010 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., rain or shine. Last year the community-wide yard sale was a huge success with over 125 participants. Beginning at 8:00 a.m. on the day of the sale, yard sale buffs may stop by the Avalon Community Hall at 30th Street & the beach to obtain a listing of the addresses of sale participants and a map of Avalon. Posters will be displayed in the yards of sale participants. The purpose of the sale, sponsored by the Avalon Garden Club, is to raise money for Avalon beautification projects from the $10 authorization fee, which entitles homeowners to hold a yard sale. Of course, yard sale participants keep any money they make from their sales. Avalon property owners may obtain an application to participate in the community-wide yard sale at the Chamber of Commerce, any bank or real estate in Avalon. They should then take the completed form and $10 fee to the Avalon Chamber of Commerce Information Center to obtain a yard sale poster. At the conclusion of the yard sale, Avalon residents may place any unsold or unwanted items at the curb, no later than 7:00 a.m., Monday, May 10th, 2010, for the borough's semi-annual bulk trash pickup.


Wines of the Month
by Fred’s Avalon Liquors
Wyatt Pinot Noir, 2007 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate - 89 Points. "It is virtually impossible to find a high-quality Pinot Noir that actually tastes like Pinot Noir for under $25, but Polaner accessed a blend of fruit mostly from Carneros with the rest from the Sonoma Coast, Russian River, Sonoma County, Mendocino, and even the Central Coast. This wine is a real winner, tasting like a delicious Cotes de Beaune. Earthy, ripe currant, strawberry and spicy notes jump from the glass of this Pinot with a very fragrant, sensual style. Medium-bodied, with decent acidity, ripe tannin, and a nice, plush mouthfeel, this is a rather remarkable wine value for a Pinot Noir, which is always a fickle grape as well as expensive to produce. Drink it over the next 2-3 years, and buy it by the case." *Cost $17.99*

Ex Libris, Cabernet Sauvignon The BEST Cabernet you will EVER taste under $20. Sourced from two of the top Cabernet Vineyards in Washington's Columbia Valley and dressed up with a dash of Syrah. This wine will stand up to, and defeat most Cab based wines casting twice as much. Don't think about it, just open your mind and taste. - polanerselections.com

Wyatt Chardonnay For around $10 you can get this awesome Chardonnay that is lovingly made from 3 appellations in California. Great fruit flavors with just a touch of wood and a clean and smooth finish.

Red Rock Merlot In Red Rock Winery Merlot, lush concentrations of black cherry, plum and boysenberry are complemented by soft, rounded tannins. Body and flavor are perfectly matched and exquisitely balanced, achieving a delicate harmony found in only the finest wines. Red Rock Winery Merlot is an excellent match for a wide range of foods, particularly herb-based dishes, pasta, grilled meats and goat cheese. Cost: $13.99

Yard Dog Red - South East Australia Wine Spectator - 87 Points - Best Value Soft and round, with lots of red fruit flavors, raspberry, cherry and a hint of earth as the finish lingers gently. Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. - Drink Now Cost: $9.99

Domaine Serene, Yamhill Cuvee Amazing Pinot Noir 90 POINTS - "Supple, ripe and generous with its plum, blueberry and creme brulee flavors, nicely draped with refined tannins, which persist on the focused finish. Drink now through 2014." - Wine Spectator Cost: Special $39.99

Raw Power This is another fine value Shiraz from the Adelaide Plains of Australia. The nose is sweet fruit, raspberry, blueberry jam and nutmeg. On the medium bodied palate there is black fruit profile, with blackberry, chocolate, leather and light structured tannins. This is a fun wine that can be enjoyed for casual sipping, great with pizza and burgers or try it with pasta. *Cost $10.99*

Les Fontanelles Chardonnay Fontanelles has become the most sought after wines from Southwest France. A buttery Chardonnay, with hint of green apple and full finish. This is really a stunning value. An amazing Chardonnay at an incredible price. *Cost $8.99*
