Really glad to hear that they are still promoting local wines as well. I own and oprerate a small winery in Massachusetts called <A HREF="http://www.theneighborhoodcellar.com/" REL="nofollow">The Neighborhood Cellar </A> and we are very enthusiastic about the future of local wines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-87982370401339552702007-01-03T15:18:00.000-05:002007-01-03T15:18:00.000-05:00Thanks for your comments Lenn!

Maybe the spices were just a bit old or something because there wasn't a general sense of spice or warmth. This is nit-picking though, because the food was definitely good - worth a return visit. Strange that you didn't have LI Wine...Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-84902602604039878232007-01-02T14:39:00.000-05:002007-01-02T14:39:00.000-05:00Thanks for the shout out and I enjoyed reading you...Thanks for the shout out and I enjoyed reading your review.<br /><br />That pudding is RIDICULOUSLY good...we had it when we were there over a year ago.<br /><br />One thing: I've heard SOME chefs say that when something is "spice rubbed" that you SHOULDN'T be able to pick out any individual spices. Some chefs try to balance the spices in a way that none sticks out. But, if the overall sense was less than spicy, perhaps it was just underspiced. <br /><br />When we were there, we didn't even drink Long Island wine! We tried a decent pinot noir from Atwater Estate in the Finger Lakes. If you ever see Atwater's riesling anywhere...snag it. Always stellar.Lenn Thompson | LENNDEVOURS.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10468730949765794711noreply@blogger.com
