Bebame; a Steve Edmunds/Don Heistuman Production

Because I twisted his arm, I got to taste the new vintage of his vermentino blend, Heart of Gold. Also tasted his new release (now in bottle shock--so look for tasting notes in a few months) from a Mendocino biodynamic vineyard. And Back story: I met Don Heistuman in the Loire oh, I don't know, nine years ago? Shocking. MORE >>

Rose Water

We have been a bit disappointed by meals at several well-regarded and pricey restaurants in the past few months (Grammercy Tavern, The Tasting Room, Stone Park, to name a few). The dining room is small and tastefully decorated. had the Cab Franc with the cod, served slightly chilled as it should be. At reasonable prices too. MORE >>

Local Lamb with Local Wine

It tastes fresher and better, more like lamb. used an old friend from Southwest France instead. Braised meat almost always tastes better the next day. 2002 Castello di Borghese Cabernet Franc Reserve , $32 from the winery. I'm glad we opted to go local on the wine, and I want to love local Cabernet Franc. MORE >>
