Scuola Del Vino

I had a revelation a few years back.

Branzino in a Salt Crust with Fennel Grapefruit Salad

I have always been very passionate about seafood recipes.

If you are one of the Americans who still think that beer is supposed to be fizzy, yellow and devoid of body, it’s time to become part of the Craft Beer Revolution. You can start with this microcourse I call Craft Beer 101.

Make Your Holiday Sparkle!

It's the end of another year. It flies by so fast, doesn't it? The holiday season is the perfect time to stop for a moment and celebrate your family, your health, your prosperity.

Grand Central Station, located at 42nd Street and Park Avenue in New York City, opened in 1871 and has major renovations in 1913 and 1994-2000.

Paola’s Restaurant is located in the Carnegie Hill section of Manhattan, at the corner of 92nd Street and Madison Avenue.  On my first visit, I managed to find parking right on Madison Avenue, which I took as a good omen.

A True Harvest Celebration Weekend

Harvest. The most important time of year in the wine industry and personally, my favorite. The workers in the vineyards, the hustle and bustle in the wineries, and that hint of what is to come in the year’s vintage is all a very integral part of wine.

{joomplu:1576}After being introduced by friends to Darolyn and Christopher Augusta, the owners of The Harvest Inn Bed and Breakfast, I was pleased to accept an invitation to visit the Inn and get more acquainted with the proprietors.  Darolyn and Chris left the corporate world after successful careers and chose the North Fork of Long Island as their new home. They have created an idyllic setting in their highly rated bed and breakfast. The Inn was built to their specifications and designed with their guests’ comfort in mind.

{joomplu:1220}The Vineyards Have Gone to the Dogs

What better topic to cover for the men’s issue than man’s best friend? While the bond between humans and dogs is not exclusive to men, dogs and wineries seem to go hand in hand. After all, wineries are ultimately grape farms and what is a farmer without his (or her) dog? Luckily, there are some fantastic books dedicated to wineries and their four-legged best friends.
