Thanks, now I know how to pronounce it. Sorry about the vineyard thing. I googled "wine stores in Bernardsville, NJ" and I found out that the commerical is just for a wine store and not a vineyard. It's called Gary's Wine & Marketplace.
Not a problem at all. And Garys is a pretty good wine shop. Nice selection, decent prices. They also have a nice little deli section with some good cheeses and some good sandwiches.
If you want a GREAT wine shop in Bernardsville, though, you need to go check out 56 degrees, on Quimby lane. There are 29 people in the United States that hold the title "Master of Wine." Chris Cree is one of those 29. He's the owner of 56 degrees wine. Nice guy, loves to help you find the perfect bottle, even at the lower end of the price scale.
I think Newark should be pronounced "Nork" .Only one syllable. A lot of people pronounce it New- erk, two syllables. That really irks me. I like the way I say it better LOL.

Doesn't make you crazy to hear the Delawarians (if that's how they call themselves) talk about their NEW-ARK -- not even New-urk.
It's SEE-CAW-CUS. Ask anyone who lives there. Those who pronounce it the other way are not from the area, period. We have a location in SEE-CAW-CUS and I can't tell you how many people I work with (not from there) who say it wrong.
How about Piscataway? I think I remember John Gambling on WOR 710AM saying it like Pis-kuh-TAH-way. We Jersey folks know it is supposed to sound like Pis-CAT-away. I guess that could easily get butchered if you were from another state.

Reason: spelling
If you stress the first syllable, it's a definite SEE, but if you stress the second, the EE is become less distinct. Maybe more like si-CAW-cus.
See?
it's SEE-caw-cus
