Eat. Drink. Live.
A fun Sunday around town. We hit up a fun tag scale and found some great new cocktail glasses, made a cedar-plank salmon on the grill, and opened a nice bottle of wine. First, our figs! Nearly ripe. Martinis in […]
A few years back, we were members of several Long Island wine clubs. Once a quarter, the wineries would ship us 3-4 bottles of exclusive wine, meant for club customers. This Sculpture Garden from Channing Daughters is among the last […]
Our wine tasting at Zachys! Delicious rose! And these fine folks won a case of wine. Now that’s a good event. Related posts: Rose Blind Tasting: Which Long Island Wine Will We Choose? Wine Tasting at Croteaux A Wine Tasting […]
We’re at Zachys, doing all the media things we do for a 12-week session of wine of the week, Mixed Case + audio and video. You know the deal! And this time, it’s one of my favorite subjects: rose! Here’s […]
A super-fun day at work — fun enough to share with all of you! We had recognition of work well done at our morning meeting, and some folks got prizes (including an Apple Watch!). In the afternoon, we tried our […]
On a random winter Saturday, we decided to open a big bottle of wine. B-I-G big! We brought two up from the cellar to decide. Both bottles were gifts from our Wine, Wit and Wisdom Shower, an engagement party-slash-Jack and […]
Casellula, a cozy little wine and cheese bar, really is an oasis in midtown for pre-theater dining, especially if you’re heading to a theater that’s a little north of Times Square. I’ve covered Casellula several times already, so I won’t […]
Terroir, a wine bar that first opened in the East Village, has a newish outpost in Murray Hill. Owner Paul Grieco, wine geek extraordinaire, is known for his passion — but also his crazy-good wine lists with encyclopedic descriptions and […]
Being in Pleasantville for a showing of Casablanca at the Jacob Burns Film Festival, we decided to give the new wine bar, Battonage, a try. It’s a nice alternative to the other restaurants in town, which are either pubs or […]
We did a lot more cocktail hour at the dock on other visits to the cabin. Example 1. Example 2. And we’d let an entire week go by without getting down there for magic hour. So on our last evening? Wine […]
A warm spring evening. Tickets to “Anything Goes.” A sip and a snack with my friend Kelli. How lucky are we! Related posts: Pre-Theater Dining at Pam Real Thai in Midtown Excellent Pre-Theater Dining at Toloache in Midtown Pre-Theater Supper: […]
We sampled a bunch of local wines and had a simple backyard supper with the neighbors, enjoying a little respite from the heat wave. Finally. The results, after the jump. Related posts: Rose Blind Tasting: Which Long Island Wine Will […]
Lettie’s place in Southold is right across the street from Croteaux Vineyard. How convenient! Related posts: Rose Blind Tasting: Which Long Island Wine Will We Choose? Wine Tasting at Indian Island Winery Dinner at Love Lane Kitchen Lettie’s Beach on […]
Lettie knows how much we love the Wolffer rose. But she had a feeling we might like another Long Island rose, too. To prove her point, she bagged up a couple of bottle and poured them for us. A blind […]
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
