Sharing VDLT’s Boatyard Luncheon “Hi, Michael and Madina. Just wanted to let you know that we had a bottle of the Chevalier-Montrachet this weekend with another couple. There was unanimous agreement that it was the best white we’d ever tasted, and not in an over-the-top, audacious sort of way. It was simply a wine without fault. Every aspect seemed perfectly coordinated: the acidity, the minerality, the fruit, the oak, the mouth feel… Thank you for introducing to us. It was worth … →

When Irish Eyes Are Smiling   At the urging of Kevan McKinney, five time Club Champion at Tamarack, we are going to temporarily curtail our partiality to Italians and Jews and pay a little attention (respect) to the Irish. Kevan is a pugnacious fellow but sweet pugnacious, you know, the kind of guy that can blow a four up lead in the finals of the Club championship by three putting the 34th hole and then birdies the 35th and knocks it … →

Anthony Quinn Enters with Horse

Sharing is Living Bruno Falzoni, a handsome virile man entered our home and life carrying a magnificent sculpture of a horse. This charismatic man bore a strong resemblance to the aforementioned Anthony Quinn. This wonderful horse majestically occupies the focal point on the table where we decant our wines reminding me of this special man. Bruno's son, Allesandro is a terrific fellow that I truly enjoy and don't see often enough although he and his beautiful wife, Natasha often pass … →

One Robin Makes Spring It was 70 degrees in New York yesterday!! Try on your bathing suit and start jogging. Summer is virtually here so shape up to ship out. We have a summer accessory that makes the cover of catalogs from Neiman Marcus, Hermes, to Chanel and it costs but $19. Rosé is summer’s favorite wine for many but certainly not considered an elite drink worthy of Tiffany branding. However when the rosé is made from the juice of … →

WARMTH AND ELEGANCE Domaine Drouhin-Laroze’s Philippe and Christine have it. That wonderful enviable combination of warmth and elegance. Their cellar has barrel after barrel of the very finest Grand Cru and Premier Cru Burgundy. Their facility has the regality and potential pompousness of a major chateau in Bordeaux but Christine and Philippe are as warm and hospitable as Midwestern farmers. Spectacular wine – wonderful people. We are blessed to have their “terroir”, competence, and soul in our wine cellars. Clos … →
