New York Wines & Dines
Now that it’s legal to ship homegrown wines out of state, the rest of the world can find out just how far New York viticulture has come. For your own refresher course, sample a vintage or three at any restaurant participating in the state’s monthlong annual promotion. The Finger Lakes, Hudson Valley, and North Fork get pride of place on such diverse wine lists as the ones at Brasserie Les Halles, Bright Food Shop, and San Domenico, where locally grown foods will also be showcased.
