If you’re anything like me, these short, grey days really have you feeling the winter doldrums. We’re all craving sunlight, warmth, color, and maybe a little bit more booze than usual. Luckily, there’s a place nearby that delivers everything on this list! Head to Riverhead and give the crew at North Fork Brewing Company a visit. At any given time you’ll most likely find at least one of the owners, Ian or Pete, behind the bar to welcome you with a big smile (and alcohol). If you don’t see...
Harvest is here! It marks my 6th at Lieb Cellars. Yesterday my husband and I brought our two daughters, Renny who is 4 and Gabi who is 2, out to the vineyard to help our crew pick Sauvignon Blanc grapes. They pretended to drive the tractors, played with our vineyard foreman’s daughter Nilda, snuck tastes of the grapes and ran around acres of open space. Reflecting on the day, I felt incredibly grateful to live where I live and work where I work.
