Morning Ya'll,
This past week Gerri, Ben and I were able to attend Brooklyn Uncorked. Brooklyn Uncorked is an event hosted by Edible Brooklyn and the Long Island Wine Council. At this event most of the L.I. wineries and Brooklyn wineries get together to pour their wares. The event is great because the folks in Brooklyn are very receptive to North Fork Wines. The idea of a vineyard growing World Class wines only a short drive away is incredible to them. As it should be.
Our wines showed very well. We poured our Brut, '07 Pinot Grigio, '07 Viognier, '07 Chardonnay, '05 Pinot Noir, and '05 Five-O Red. All of the wines showed very well, but there was a lot of excitement surrounding the 2007's. The Pinot Grigio, Viognier, and Chardonnay were big hits. The word must have been going around because people were coming up to the table and asking specifically to taste these wines. After tasting all of our offerings people were quite impressed. It was great to hear all of the positive feedback. We handed out a lot of VIP tours so I hope we see a lot of Brooklyn neighbors coming out to visit!
Tonight Martha Clara will be hosting a wine dinner at Morton's Steak House. Ben and 'Aunt' Bev. will be in attendance. Nancy has set up another corporate event this evening and I will be conducting the tasting. The word is that these folks will be conducting a team building exercise that includes playing the Nintendo Wii! It should be interesting to see. I am not a video game guy, but I have played the Wii and it is a lot of fun.
The really big news this week is virtual. Our website has undergone major renovations. Matt and Bernie have been hard at work with the renovations. It looks pretty awesome and it will continue to undergo changes and additions in coming weeks. So, if you have a few moments please check it out at www.marthaclaravineyards.com ! Bernie is still busy working on some aspects of the site, so if you click on something not yet completed you will see a photo of Bernie with his construction cap!
Lastly, I know some people will be running a little bit late to work today because The New Kids on the Block will be performing on the Today Show. Ben seemed pretty excited about this reunion! He mentioned that he would record it and view later... over and over again. Well, that's the farm news for the week! Talk with ya'll soon!
Cheers,
Juan.
