Consider this video a public service for all of us here in the Northeast/mid-Atlantic who are elbow-deep in snow. Look at that view…enjoy, guys!

Wedding planning season seems to be in full swing — I’ve had no fewer than 5 friends announce their engagements recently. I’ve also had a few of these lovely ladies hit me up for wedding wine advice, and I thought I’d share my thoughts for them with all of you.

I’m adding a new feature to STBNY — an occasional, and highly unscientific, round up of my favorite wine news. Happy reading!

Here’s my latest video for Food52 on what to drink with chocolate. And the answers may surprise you. (Hint: it’s not champagne.)

I’m very pleased to announce the winners of the ZAP Grand Tasting giveaway, Leo Argersinger and Jill Wilson!

Check out my latest post for Food52 on Morellino di Scansano — a great wine you’ve never heard of, and the perfect match for lasagna (or your baked pasta dish of choice.)

Sorry for the lofty title, but it’s been a culturally edifying few days here at STBNY. On Sunday I went to the Metropolitan Museum and on Monday, we saw our friend perform in an opera. Delightful experiences both, they got me thinking about — what else? — wine. Specifically, about the importance of paying attention.

I’m back from vacation with my latest installment for www.food52.com — a (very) quick primer on how to taste wine.

It’s a big day here at STBNY HQ: I’m delighted to announce our first-ever giveaway contest!

Here’s my latest video tasting for the lovely ladies over at Food52. Look closely for the extra special (canine) guest.
