Time for Wine
Although not officially over yet, for all practical purposes summer is history.
The cool evenings hint at the coming seasons of frost and festivities and I find my thoughts turning from boat and beach to heart and hearth. Even my taste buds have noticed the changing season as I find less beer and more wine on my table.
As if to pry free my one last finger of a grip on summer, Ginny Clancy of the Stony Brook University Center for Wine, Food and Culture sent me her Fall schedule of Long Island food and wine classes.
These are excellent classes and I highly recommend them for anyone interested in Long Island wine, food and Long Island’s regional cuisine.
At $55 ($45 for two or more people, $40 for three or more classes) they are the most reasonably priced wine tasting classes you’ll find anywhere on Long Island.
Classes I’ve attended:
- Chef John Ross on Food, Wine and Integrity on the North Fork
- An Italian Heritage of Flavor
- From Aroma to Bouquet: How Wines Age
- Creating a Regional Cuisine – CoolFish
First class starts October 5th. Register early because they fill up fast!
