Next Big Event: Harvest Celebration September 24 and 25

Harvest Wine Auction and Celebration of Long Island's East End takes place September 24 and 25, organized by the Long Island Merlot Alliance and the Long Island Wine Council.

On September 24 I'm hosting a 10-Mile Harvest dinner for a good cause, and I want friends to buy tickets.

10-Mile Dinners are exclusive dinners, sourced from within 10 miles of diners' dinner plates (or in this case, of the winery and restaurant), with some of the region's best chefs and winemakers/winery owners at beautiful private locations not normally open to the general public. Tickets are $350 per person, and only 10 are available for each dinner.

Chef Noah Schwartz of the relatively new, but much-celebrated Noah’s in Greenport will be the chef of the Sparkling Pointe 10-Mile Dinner at my house.

We'll have the menu to post in a few days.  The all-sparkling wine  list is:

2006 Brut

2006 Topaz Imperial

2004 Blanc de Blancs

2000 Brut Seduction (This wine will also be offered as part of the HARVEST live auction; see www.harvesteastend.com/auction. Absentee bidding is open!)

Tickets are available by calling East End Hospice at 631-288-7080 or visiting www.harvesteastend.com/tickets.
