2019 Brunello di Montalcino is “…the vintage we’ve all been waiting for,” so “Buckle your seatbelts,” and strap on your helmets because the newest vintage from Montalcino is “…an embarrassment of riches for collectors and fans of the appellation” (Eric Guido, Vinous Media). The hotly anticipated Brunellos have “…definitely lived up to [their] lofty reputation as an excellent vintage across Montalcino” (Kerin O’Keefe). It showcases the extraordinary qualities of Sangiovese, Tuscany’s most famous and beloved grape variety, and its ability to exploit the region’s phenomenal terroir. This “…magical year…” (Giacomo Neri of Casanova di Neri) of “radiance and appeal” (Eric Guido) will likely set a new benchmark for Brunello wines for years to come.
According to Italian wine expert, Kerin O’Keefe, she has “…never tasted so many drop-dead-gorgeous young Brunellos from a single vintage.” She confesses that many of the best wines stopped her in her tracks, generating that “…magical moment
Summer in the Hamptons just isn't summer without a fantastic, fresh lobster roll! This is a summer favorite, and the waters of the East End provide us with very high quality lobster. In celebration of the summer months, The Plaza Café, located in Southampton, created a new bar menu. The lobster roll is a great feature on that menu, and it's become a favorite amongst customers. We have the recipe for you, which is easy to follow and straight forward. Enjoy!
Upon recently opening one of our new arrival wines, 2011 Herencia Altes Garnatxa Negra, the first thing I noticed about it was the care and passion that went into its creation. With a good winemaker, that care and passion will be the driving force to quality, and that is exactly what we have here with the 2011 Herencia Altes Garnatxa Negra. Then, factor in the $9.99 price tag, and you have a 100% Grenache at an unbeatable value which makes it perfect for everyday drinking. This wine truly combines affordability and great taste giving you the best of both worlds! 
The seventh vintage of our highly coveted Waterstone Cabernet Sauvignon has arrived - and it is nothing short of remarkable!
I love Pinot Noir! It's my grape of choice when looking for a red to pop, and even more so when it's a hot day during the summer. Pinots are light on their feet but have enough complexity to keep you interested. I'm always looking for new ones try and although I prefer Burgundy, my wallet says otherwise.
The Pelissero winery is located in Treiso, Piedmont, which lies within the Barbaresco winemaking zone. Traditionally, Nebbiolo in the area would be bottled as Barbaresco, and Barbera would be bottled separately. However, their wine labeled Long Now is an unusual equal blend of both varietals. 
As the days of summer are closing in on us, we're taking advantage of these last few weeks of sunshine and are using this time to prepare our last favorite summer dishes accompanied by our favorite white wines. 
This recipe for grilled pizza is one of the more popular dishes on the bar menu that we introduced this summer at the Plaza Cafe. We really like the combination of flavors here, and it's a great item for guests to share too.
The summer is unofficially now over after the Labor Day holiday. I'm ready to start thinking about the fall holidays, cooler weather and yes, red wine!
I chose this wine to taste, review and share with you for two very simple reasons: the bold, yet modest bottle design caught my eye, and my own personal intrigue for Sicilian wines. What I found out proved that the 
For something a bit different this time around, the focus here is the song influenced by or at least name checking wine. Some are originals and some are covers (let's keep it fresh!). Grab a bottle of your favorite wine and your favorite person!
