When people think of Las Vegas, they think of gambling and poker tournaments. At present, tens of thousands of players from around the world are currently playing at the World Series of Poker. You can bet that very few of...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor I keep trying to retire the "Tasting Table" series, but my recently chaotic day job along with the all-consuming reality of an infant and a 5-year old have once again reminded me that no matter...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor The May shipment of the Empire State Cellars Wine Club won't ship for a few weeks, but from now on, we're going to announce the selecitons at least a few weeks beforehand. That way, if...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor The organizers of TasteCamp are gearing up for an exciting weekend of wine discovery that will bring some 40 bloggers and writers from all over the United States and Canada to Loudoun County and Northern...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor With so many communication channels at our finger tips these days (Facebook, Twitter, email, etc.) it feels like I'm discussing local wines with people almost constantly. It's fun, but I've noticed something recently -- great...
By Tom Kane, Lake Erie Correspondent The importance of a first impression; as a new contributor, I understand it all too well… Will I be interesting, will I be informative, amusing, witty and knowledgeable…will I run out of adjectives? The...
Winemaker Matt Spacarelli sends this picture of baco noir bud break in Benmarl Winery's 50-year old estate baco vineyard.
By Mark Tichenor, Rochester Beer Correspondent Craft breweries make their bones by marketing big, unique beers to big, unique individuals. High alcohol levels, forceful flavors and innovative ingredients put many great brews on the map, but remain the characteristics of...
By Rochelle Bilow, Finger Lakes Food Correspondent The wine tastings at Standing Stone Vineyards are hardly typical, but then again, owner and winemaker Marti Macinski isn’t your average wine industry professional. A former lawyer with a degree in piano performance...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor Selecting a beer called “Hop Manna” is about as close as I’ve come in years to celebrating Passover/Easter, but it had been too long since I’d had a Shmaltz Brewing Company (Saratoga Springs, NY, and...
Assistant vineyard manager Eric Anderson snapped this picture in Macari Vineyards' merlot vineyard this morning.
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor Well, I’m once again the midst of my annual month-long break from alcohol –– but that doesn’t mean I can’t still enjoy a trip to Finger Lakes wine country. In need of a road trip...
The next Paumanok Vineyards wine dinner will be at Almond, in Bridgehampton, on Thursday, April 19. We are excited to pair Paumanok wines with the delicious Hamptons French bistro fare that chef Jason Weiner prepares at Almond. Wines served will...
Photo courtesy of Shinn Estate Vineyards By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor What was mere speculation and conjecture just a few weeks ago is now a reality on the North Fork. Shinn Estate Vineyards' David Page sent me this photo this...
NYCR cheese editor, Aaron Estes, addressing the crowd at Peconic Bay Winery By Aaron Estes, Cheese Editor As a cheese geek I am continually preoccupied with the age-old question that plagues the majority of the cheese obsessed here in New...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor Our son Rhys was about 16 hours old when he tasted his first wine -- roughly a quarter of a drop of Champagne, sucked off the end of my pinky -- in our hospital room....
By Todd Trzaskos, North Country Correspondent The Cornell Cooperative Extension Northeast NY Commercial Fruit Program has just announced an open position at the cold-hardy hybrid wine grape trial vineyard in Willsboro, NY. I’m well acquainted with the vineyard, having volunteered...
On Friday, April 13 four Long Island wineries -- Jamesport Vineyards, Lenz Winery, Sparkling Pointe and Wolffer Estate -- present "Long Island Sparkles" a sparkling wine dinner at Restaurant Mirabelle in Stony Brook, NY. For $80 (plus tax and gratuity)...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor I recently wrote about a lovable though rather dive-y tavern for a local newspaper, and a reader wrote in with a complaint about the establishment’s (in her opinion) less-than-friendly bathrooms. She pointed out that “for...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Winemaker Rich Olsen-Harbich did some things differently during his first crush at Bedell Cellars in 2010. He brought his ambient yeast fermentations, of course, but he also made a couple blends by co-fermenting the grapes...
Calling all Long Island beer aficionados. Edible East End and the Brooklyn Brewery invite you to craft beer bar Effin Gruven in Bellmore on Thursday, April 26, to try the latest Brewmaster Reserve release from the brewery—weeks before the public...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor For years, we've wanted to find someone "on the ground" in the Lake Erie-Chautauqua region -- and we've finally found that person in Tom Kane. A native of Buffalo, (and its suburbs), Tom discovered New...
Grower Champagnes and sparkling wines are those produced by the same estate that owns the vineyards and grows the grapes. While the large Champagne houses may use grapes sourced from the entire Champagne Region producing large quantities of big name...
By Bryan Calandrelli, Niagara Region Editor Perhaps it’s fitting that the first all-pinot-noir flight at this year’s Expert’s Tasting at Brock University’s Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute (CCOVI) was named after Monty Python’s classic film. If transcendent pinot noir...
One of the old vines at Villa Bellangelo that purportedly date from 1866 By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor A small cluster of vines dating to 1866 is, one would assume, the proudly held evidence of some European estate's history. Given...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor For the second year in row, Chef Gerry Hayden of The North Fork Table & Inn in Southold on the North Fork of Long Island is a finalist in the James Beard Foundation Awards as...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Living on Long Island, I drink a fair amount of merlot. It's every where you look in wine country -- literally and figuratively. I don't need to look north to the Finger Lakes for merlot....
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor After taking a bit of a winter break, we're happy to announce the next in our series of New York Cork Report Artisan Dinners -- this one with Anthony Nappa Wines at Orto, Chef Eric...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor You never know what’s going to shine in a blind tasting. That’s why it’s so important. Big-name beers from lauded breweries may actually be lackluster in a lineup, without the pomp and circumstance their fame...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor The March shipment of the Empire State Cellars Wine Club will ship this week, so it's time to tell you about the picks. Admittedly, I had a little help with the wines this time around......
Photo Courtesy of Bedell Cellars By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor The earliest anyone can remember seeing bud break in Long Island vineyards was mid-April in 2010 -- a vintage that ended up being one of the longest and warmest on...
By Tracy Weiss, Roving Correspondent In New York City, local is sought after like a taxicab in the rain. Overused words like “artisanal” and “heritage” bring self-proclaimed locavores to eateries around the city (and even to BROOKLYN) thinking they’re dining...
Editor's note: Our own Tracy Weiss attended New York Drinks New York yesterday at Astor Center in Manhattan, and we'll have her story ready to go either later today or tomorrow. In the meantime, we have issued an open invite...
By David Flaherty, NYC Correspondent Today, in my fair neighborhood of Astoria, Queens---on a day more reminiscent of a sunny Spring afternoon in May---a wee gathering of Finger Lakes winemakers met at Winegasm, a local wine bar I've only hit...
By Rochelle Bilow, Finger Lakes Food Correspondent "Do you want to meet the butchers?" Heather asked me as we rounded the corner of the kitchen. In the middle of next room two men intricately worked knives into the ribs of...
Editor's Note: This op-ed comes from our own Mark Grimaldi who works for Michael Skurnik Wines as a sales representative. Skurnik is one of the smaller distributors that could be harmed by the proposed legislation discussed within. As such this...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor It is unusual for a single wine store to become such a focus for an entire state. More unusual still when the store is not located in New York City. Since returning home from the...
Unidentified variety, at the Cornell Trial Vineyard, Willsboro, NY By Todd Trzaskos, North Country Correspondent New York State, like most fine wine regions in the northern hemisphere, lies between the hallowed latitudes of 30 and 50 degrees, where macroclimates that...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor A very old Irish pub in a very old part of Buffalo is getting a fresh start and a bright future thanks to a group of local-obsessed craft beer freaks. Gene McCarthy’s, located in Buffalo’s...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor I was first introduced to the Rkatsiteli grape when I tried the 2006 vintage bottling from Dr. Konstantin Frank Vinifera Wine Cellars. I was quickly hooked by the aromatic white that can be described as...
By Evan Dawson, Finger Lakes Editor To understand why the Hermann J. Wiemer 2010 Dry Riesling Reserve is such a special wine, it's important to understand that not all rieslings are created equally. Nor are all wines created easily. Winemaking...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor As the team and I work in the background to migrate all of our content -- 3,300+ posts -- to our new platform and fine-tune the new design, it's made me realize that we have...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor If you're looking for innovative, modern winemaking or flashy branding, The Lenz Winery probably isn't for you. Lenz isn't in the Long Island Wine Council and it barely engages in things new media vehicles like...
By Rochelle Bilow, Finger Lakes Food Correspondent Most celebrity chefs guard their secrets closely, denying consumers and fans their recipes and techniques. And why should they share? It’s their repertoire, after all. There’s a certain unspoken fear in the restaurant...
On Sunday, March 18, Bedell Cellars will co-host its next winemaker's dinner, this one at chef Tom Schaudel's newest restaurant, Jewel at 5 p.m. The five-course menu will be paired with winemaker Rich Olsen-Harbich's wines. Schaudel has long been an...
By Dave Seel, Long Island Food Correspondent It seems every time I decide to eat at La Plage, I can’t remember how to get there. It’s somewhere near Wading River by the beach, hence the name “La Plage,” but the...
By Tracy Weiss, New York City/Long Island Correspondent Photo by Erika Bocknek A wine tasting experience is a sum of its parts. As I sip and swirl and slurp, the wine can only be enhanced or diminished by the elements...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor At beer events, including the 2012 Long Island Nano Cask Festival last weekend, I'm often introduced as "A wine guy who likes beer too." I'm not even sure that's accurate anymore. I drink nearly as...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor This is one of the most delicate subjects one can imagine, so when I set out to explore it, I knew I had to be thorough. The result is one of the longest, most exhaustive...
