Vinous Table: The Four Horsemen, Brooklyn, NY
Vinous Table, United States: New York
, Jun 2024
If you are in New York, The Four Horsemen is highly recommended. I love the laid-back atmosphere; the cooking is some of the best I encountered during what was admittedly a slightly underwhelming return to the city’s dining scene.
Vinous Table: Roagna Barbaresco Crichët Pajé: 2001-2014
Vinous Table, United States: New York
, May 2024
The room is buzzing with energy as our Crichët Pajé is about to kick off. It’s one of the things I love most about our events: the enthusiasm, passion and deep knowledge guests bring to these lunches and dinners. The 60th floor at Manhatta is especially evocative on this morning. A thick blanket of fog weaves throughout the New York City skyline as if we had arranged for the most perfect Barbaresco meets New York views imaginable. We aren’t that good.
Vinous Table: The Modern, New York City, NY
Vinous Table, United States: New York
, May 2024
I was excited when my dining companion booked a table at The Modern for this recent lunch. I had not been to The Modern in quite some time, so I was very much looking forward to going back. Over the years, I have had some very good experiences here and some that have been rather lackluster, hence my long absence. Walking into the dining room felt like a refreshing new beginning in a place I have often loved.
Vinous Table: Ci Siamo, New York, NY
Vinous Table, United States: New York
, Mar 2023
Ci Siamo, a recent addition from Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, has fast become one of my go-to spots in New York City for delicious, hearty food and fabulous wine. I can’t say enough good things about Ci Siamo. Two recent dinners have been nothing short of superb.
Vinous Table: Marea, New York, NY
Vinous Table, United States: New York
, Jul 2022
As great as the wines are, I am once again reminded that wines are made special by context, in other words the circumstances, places and people that surround them. This was a truly unforgettable night of food, wine, friendship and camaraderie. Until next time…
Vinous Table: Union Square Café, New York, NY
Vinous Table, United States: New York
, Aug 2021
It’s great to see New York back at its customary pace following a very challenging period, especially for restaurants. This recent dinner at Union Square Café was truly invigorating. Plus it was great to just be out with friends again.
2020: The Year in Review
featured, General Interest, United States: New York
, Dec 2020
My Year in Review article is usually a greatest hits of the past twelve months, a write up of fabulous meals, wines and tastings. Obviously, there was not much of that this year. I almost did not write this article at all, but 2020 has its own vibe and story. Ultimately, I thought that should be documented…
Vinous Table: Sunday Night Supper Club
Vinous Table, United States: New York
, Dec 2020
After tasting hundreds of wines over the week, it was nice to spend some time with a few bottles and my closest inner circle, watch a little NFL football and forget about all the stresses of 2020, even if just for a little while.
Vinous Table: Via Forno, Scarsdale, New York
Vinous Table, United States: New York
, Mar 2020
Via Forno is one of my local pizza joints. Despite the somber outlook, the staff at Via Forno has been upbeat on the few times I have been there recently. I am looking forward to going back when things eventually come back to something resembling normalcy.
Vinous Table: Piedmont Icons at Legacy Records
Vinous Table, United States: New York
, Feb 2020
There are few things I enjoy more than hosting small dinners for Vinous readers. The conversation and company are always just as good as the wine and food, while the intimate format allows for deeper conversations than at larger events. That was certainly the case at this recent dinner we held Legacy Records featuring wines from a handful of benchmark Barolo producers.
