My wine of the week is from Millbrook Winery in the Hudson Valley. Their Tocai Friulano appealed to me when I tried it for the first time many years ago and still holds my interest. Fruity but dry with nice mineral notes and crisp acidity, I thoroughly enjoy this wine. I love the Hudson Valley... Continue Reading →
Today's wine of the week is made with an Italian grape from Friuli Venezia Giulia, Refosco, but it's made on the South Fork of Long Island by the talented Chris Tracy, the winemaker and co-owner of the winery. I tried this lovely wine along with a few other rose's or rosatos they make at the... Continue Reading →

Last night I found out that one of my favorite places to have a burger in New York, Fanelli's in Soho, had a great wine from one of the women in wine that I have interviewed, Elisabetta from Tenuta di Blasig, on their wines by the glass list. I am not sure why this surprised... Continue Reading →

This week I am dedicating my blog to New York. I lost a member of my family recently who was a true New Yorker - a Brooklynite and Dodger fan at the outset of his life, an inhabitant of the West Village for decades and an attorney on 42nd Street/5th for most of it. New... Continue Reading →
I finally am getting back to my blog after a hiatus. I decided to start from where it all began, New York. I spent my childhood in a town in New Jersey but come from a long line of New Yorkers and feel very much a part of this city. Everyone in my family was... Continue Reading →
Shocking but true I am on my way to my college reunion in upstate New York. I am a bit nervous to see some of the crowd but otherwise excited I must say and I have a great exit strategy. If all else fails, I am going up towards New York State wine country. While... Continue Reading →
