Situated right on the water of Red Hook with a nice quiet scenic view of the sound. All flights we ordered were perfectly chilled and of course display cards informing patrons what each was. The staff was so courteous and just made us felt so relaxed. I was not aware they had a private parking lot so next time I'm definitely driving there. This winery is equivalent to most of the wineries out on eastern Long Island and North Fork without the extensive travel. Perfect day getaway for some slippage.

It's five steep floors. You cannot use the elevator and if you have mobility issues you have to call a number posted on the door when you arrive. Def a turn off. After climbing forever, I checked in which was smoothe. I thought the movie began at 6pm so I arrived at that time and had almost two hours to look around. I chilled in the big beautiful hammocks And walked the vineyard. Though pizza and wine was included in my ticket I ordered the watermelon frose which was so delicious and cheese. The spread arrived in picnic aesthetic which was so cute. The movie started at sun down and it got chilly fast. They provide blankets at no additional cost if needed. The pizza was so good! It was a nice vibe with the beautiful skyline in the background. I would recommend for single or solo outings. The service was great.

The vibes are relaxed with open seating, hammocks, large tables, and backyard games like cornhole. I especially like that the grape vines are intertwined with the seating, so that you can sit all around the plants while you enjoy your wine or cocktail. Service was spectacular with two sommeliers working the wine bar. They took their time to explain the menu and patiently described the flavor profile of each of the wines to me and my friend (two complete novices). I suggest trying their in house wines and the Le Mone spritz, which is similar to an Aperol Spritz but made with a lemon liqueur instead. It can be kind of difficult to get to the location since it in inside the Navy Yard and there is no direct access from the main street. Once you get there, you have to go up about 4 flights of stairs since the elevator is for special use only. They have a small snack menu but you can also order pizza from IL Porto, which will be delivered right to the rooftop. You cannot bring outside food or drink. Reservations are mandatory but I went on a Friday evening and there was only about 3 other groups there. There was also no cover when I went. Based on the other reviews, they must be more strict and charge cover on busier days or weekends. I plan on coming back here with more family and friends! 5/5 stars!

Ryan created an amazing family style 3-4 course meal that tasted and looked so good. This is hard when you are catering for 140 people. Guests have told me they have tried to replicate some of the dishes - brussels sprouts salad, brisket, etc. Ryan had the amazing idea of setting up a meats and cheeses station outside the ceremony room so people could nibble before the wedding began if needed and then continue on with that station at the cocktail hour. Ryan was a pleasure to work with - super easy, reasonably priced, and so much fun and creative energy. You never have to worry because you know Ryan wants it to be awesome so it will be.

On the menu was Haitian soup, Trinidadian Doubles, Dominican rice and beans and Jerk Chicken. The chef was warm and kind and very thorough. She gave us the option off adding heat with a scotch bonnet pepper and showed us a couple of knife techniques to make cutting vegetables easier. We were supplied with aprons and name tags and worked in teams and chatted while chopping, seasoning and cooking. I appreciated the ice water and stools available to ensure I was comfortable for those hours of class. The food came out amazing and flavorful and there was plenty leftover to take home. Its great for a date night or friend group activity or even just solo bc everyone became so friendly.

Chef Sue was both personable and informative, and her demos were easy to follow along with the written recipes. During times when food was cooking or cooling, Sue also showed us some knife skills basics/tricks. The class went on for about 3 hours, including the time to eat at the end. I really enjoyed the experience, but in the future would choose a class with a more substantial output. The Latkes and Sufganiyot were both fried carbs, and we ended up grabbing dinner immediately after because we were still hungry for a real meal. Other than that, would recommend!

The staff is always helpful, and will ask questions to narrow choices and make selections. The store itself feels homey but not crowded -- Quite digestible without feeling overwhelming. It has the feeling of a small town liquor store run by people who really know their wine and whiskey (they also seem to know their tequila, rye, and bourbon, but that was not very alliterative). I always make sure to stop in whenever I'm visiting my brother and his family, I always find a great bottle to bring as a gift (often buy something else for myself that I haven't seen in other places).

I dropped by today to get some Easter goodies, the savory kind. As always, excellent. It's an annual tradition for me to visit around Easter specifically for their Basket Cheese among other incredibly delicious items. This cheese is only out around Easter and sold in a basket. A must try. Here's my list from today (to name a few): Arancini with cheese only? Check. Arancini means riceballs. Roasted Red Peppers? Check. Charred and to die for. Homemade Turkey? Check. I got a divorce from Boar's Head a long time ago. Breadcrumb stuffed peppers? Check Focaccia? Deliciously Checked from my list. Fluffy and light as air with a light tomato sauce coating. Yummy. And so on. I love everything about Caputo's. From their fresh pastas and ravioli to the variety of cheese to their holiday specials. It truly is amazing. If in the area this week, grab the Basket Cheese. You will leave with a full bag and undoubtedly drop more than a few bucks here. Quality over quantity, and they have it all. .

I had another evening adult party to attend and wanted to make sure that I didn't arrive empty-handled. Luckily, we parked on the same block as Rosetta Wines. The entrance is hidden beneath the scaffolding but definitely stuck out, with the bright salmon coloured Vespa in the window. By the name, you know they mostly carry wines but they do have some spirits behind the counter. I was looking for something specific, a Spanish or Argentinian vino. Alex helped. He was very knowledgeable and asked all of the right questions. In the end, I opted for a modestly priced medium bodied malbec. The party guests were very happy either the selection and I scored a win.

This was my first time handling a solo event where there was no event staff to help and when Gary and Junko arrived they dove right in not only setting themselves up but also helping me get everything right. The event was a huge success and the firms partners and guests alike were all enthralled with the wines chosen, vast knowledge and extremely charismatic character of Gary and Junko.
