What an AMAZING night hanging out and hearing stories from the legend: KRS-One. Still doing it after all these years. Got to spend a night breaking bread and got my crystal from the LOVELY Simone Parker. The Birth Place of Hip Hop coming soon to 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in DA BRONX. That's why we love New York

Pietra Possamai is a Brazlian born firecracking genius making heritage wines in Peru out of Quebranta, Mollar, Negra Criolla, Italia, Albilla, and Alejandría without chemicals while farming organically. Named Young Winemaker Of The Year, she IS the new frontier. An intimate group of members and friends were enchanted with her story and her passion for pushing the limits of wine. Her journey is remarkable. Another night around a table with real wine folks. A Wine's Quality Is Determined In The Glass. She reminds me of Dierdre.

PART 2 of the ON THE ROAD IN PIEMONTE : THE FOOD!!!!
A tasting that big calls for a serious table, and our in-house chef NARISA delivered. She cooked her way through Jeff Bramwell's 1,000-page Bible of Piemonte and turned the book into a menu for our crowd of top NYC Sommeliers, Retailers, Importers, Members and Oenophiles.
Baccalà mantecato on herb garlic crostini. Goat cheese and bresaola rolls. Pizzas with buffalo mozzarella, Medjool dates and arugula, or escarole, anchovies and raisins. Pumpkin and chestnut gnocchi in blue cheese cream sauce. Vercelli-style rice and beans. Pork and rice-stuffed cabbage. And a slow-roasted beef with a spread of sauces: salsa rossa, agliata verde del Monferrato, and salsa tonnata con uova sode. Talk about a pairing education!!!!
Every dish came straight from the pages, made to be eaten alongside the wines in the glass, the way Piemonte has always done it. Thank you Chef Narisa, and thank you to everyone who came together for THE LOVE OF WINE AND FOOD. It's more than just Barolo. AGAIN — GET THE BOOK!

PART 1 of the ON THE ROAD IN PIEMONTE :
NYV was ecstatic to host the launch party for the new 1,000-page, two-volume Bible of Piemonte from Jeff Bramwell which was 5 years in the making: ON THE ROAD IN PIEMONTE.
An epic crowd of top NYC Sommeliers, Retailers, Importers, Members and Oenophiles all came together to celebrate this Herculean effort. We tried 852 wines, including Roagna, Giacosa, Rinaldi, Gaja, Canonica, and, more importantly, benchmark Timorasso, Arneis, Barbera, Ghemme, Dolcetto, Chinato, and much more. Talk about an educational tasting!!!! That is what it's all about - everyone coming together for THE LOVE OF WINE. Thanks to all who contributed. It's more than just Barolo. GET THE BOOK!!!!!!

Great to see up my brother from another mother and fellow Springsteen fanatic, the great Arnaud Tronche, and walk the streets of Paris. 14 miles in flops, no problem. We had one pact - we say yes to butter, bread, croissant, foie gras, cheese, and wine WHENEVER available. Escargot too. Done and home. Thank you to the lovely couple for giving us a reason to go to Burgundy.

ONWARD AND UPWARD to the Champs-Élysées of Bourgogne, the Cote De Nuits… we are talking about Boardwalk and Park Place. The names of the vineyards speak their own history. The obligatory tourist pic at Romanee-Conti – we are American after all!!
ONWARD AND UPWARD. Still in the Cote de Beaune, but white turns to red in POMMARD.
No sign on the door is a good sign, right? Am I in the right place? Push the door open and say BONJOUR in a terrible American accent. A tiny cellar it is, and around the corner comes the great FANNY SABRE whose smile lights up the room. WHEW! Working alone, OF COURSE, she welcomes us with open arms. Tasting the 2025’s next to the literally days old 2026’s out of barrel is a lifetime of education in WINE. She is the ultimate one-woman micro producer powerhouse. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR HISTORY AND TIME FANNY!!

ONWARD AND UPWARD. Arriving in the Côte de Beaune is brilliant and home of perhaps the greatest wines in the world. The Chardonnay from these sleepy villages is unlike any other. 2017 Butteaux for 170 Euro? YES PLEASE! I didn’t have the hutzpah to ring the bell at RAMONET, but this is some of my favorite real estate in the world. The centuries-old walls. All those names literally door to door in a couple blocks of ancient winding alleys. That’s Burgundy baby.
ONWARD and upward to the amazing high-altitude CRU of Chiroubles (which I definitely butchered the pronunciation). shee-ROOB not sha-ROO-blay. Driving past La Grosse Pierre and see the brilliant PAULINE PASSOT in the front yard on the phone...pull in?? WHY NOT – what’s the worst thing that can happen?
Vintners has been a HUGE FAN of Pauline’s wines for years and she CERTAINLY lives up to the billing. Pauline has taken the reins of her multi-generational family Domaine and elevated them to amazing heights. Her wines are sublime! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your history and TIME.

Seeing the rolling hills and villages of Beaujolais is eye-opening. Where else can you sleep in a tree??
Driving through all of the CRUS and experiencing the land is amazing. We knocked on the door of the great young wunderkind PIERRE COTTON, who is making epic BROUILLY and other assorted gems (including a tiny amount of Beaujolais Blanc).
Pierre Cotton's family has been farming and producing wine at the same cellar in Odenas since 1856. He is certainly one of the NEW FOUR of the new guard to take this amazing appellation to even greater heights – continuing the trailblazing work of the GANG OF FOUR. Pierre is firmly a star. Thank you for sharing your history and time!! The future is bright.

Sometimes NYC remembers what it was built for.
On Saturday night the cellar at NYV and Leo’s art studio became a single element, and in that room we celebrated Marlon James and the launch of The Disappearers, his haunting, torrential new novel from @riverheadbooks. The New York Times wrote ‘This Masterpiece Is the Novel of the Decade, if Not the Century.’ In person, Marlon is somehow even better.
Salman Rushdie told stories. Mary Karr held court. Writers, painters, editors, and beautiful troublemakers drank and argued and danced under the art until the night gave out — and nobody wanted to be the one who left first.
There was wine, there were stories, there was magic.

What makes NYV unique is the ability to explore new wines, regions, producers, trends, or pretty much anything we want to do with true oenophiles. We are the James Beard House for wine. Another fantastic night exploring the world-class wines of LUIS PATO with the encyclopedic mind of Lewis Kopman. Bairrada, Portugal is one of the most underrated regions in the wineoverse and Baga is a royal variety, every bit as exciting as Nebbiolo. A killer table of wine lovers at DA CLUB. Great stuff.

The greatest high school basketball team in history is without question the 1981 - 1983 Poets from Laurence Dunbar High School in Baltimore, Maryland coached by Bob Wade.
The 1982 Poets squad went 29-0 and the 1983 team went 31-0. 1982 graduated Gary Graham who played at UNLV (ranked #1 nationally) and the great David Wingate who won a national championship at Georgetown before embarking on a 15-year NBA career. The 1983 squad graduated Reggie Williams, the late great Reggie Lewis, and of course, Muggsy Bogues.
Reggie Williams was national high school player of the year in 1983 and went on to lead Georgetown to a national championship while also earning Big East player of the year and consensus first team All-American for 'Reggie and the Miracles' during his collegiate career. Williams spent 10 years in the NBA.
Reggie Lewis, who tragically died on the court at 27 years old, went to Northeastern University in Boston and is still the all-time leading scorer and was 3 x ECAC North Player of the Year. Drafted in the first round by the Boston Celtics, Lewis became an NBA All-Star and was on the verge of superstardom before he passed away. He played 6 seasons in the NBA.
Tyrone Curtis ‘Muggsy’ Bogues, standing a gigantic 5ft 3in, is the smallest player in NBA history and played an astonishing 14 seasons in DA LEAGUE. Muggsy attended Wake Forest University winning the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award and left college as the ACC career leader in steals and assists.
That’s 45 combined seasons in the NBA from one team, with Lewis passing away at 27 BEFORE his prime.
DA CLUB honors the legacy of these Maryland LEGENDS with the ultra-private MUGGSY room featuring a 5’3” table and custom Joseph & Curtis wine cellar.

What a night. If you know, you know.
New York Vintners has hosted some of the most titanic, iconic, influential, and important winemakers in history over the course of our 20-year history. One of my fondest memories was the only time I ever met the great Emidio Pepe.
In 2014, we co-hosted an event at L'artusi with Joe Campanale in the wine room. A perfect New York night pulsing with energy. Diminutive in size, gigantic in stature, Emidio strolled into the wine room with his signature cap and his stunning granddaughter Chiara Pepe on his arm, who was only 20 years old at the time. He did not speak a word of English, but with his hands he wove the story of his family winery and incredible journey. Chiara translated for ‘grandfather’. I’ll never forget.
We lost a legend, one of the all-time greats. Emidio, say hi to Serge Hochar for us. RIP.

An amazing night breaking bread and sharing a glass of wine with a super class act - the CHAMP!! Jordan Clarkson is the coolest guy on the planet. A visit to the Art Studio to collaborate with Leo and a family dinner - cooked and shared by all. That's DA CLUB in a nutshell. Great people, great food, great wine - no BS.

How much do we love Alberto Graci? Let me count the ways. Another epic visit from one of the KINGS OF ETNA. The Graci wines are so well-crafted, structured, and elegant. It was great to catch up with our friend, visit the Art Studio and break bread. His high elevation single vineyard Contrada are world class. Another rock star for the wall.
