When it comes to art, I LURVE witnessing the genius of creative thinkers, innovators and doers who choose not to conform to current standards but set new ones. And I get so inspired by artists who are willing to sacrifice their egos by challenging status quo, thinking outside the box and taking risks. The kind of artists motivated by passion rather than popularity.
Set in a Tribeca wine shop that doubles as a retail store and event location with a modern stainless steel kitchen, my “Wine 101: A Sensory Guide” class at New York Vintners was a 2-hour life changing experience. All this time I’d been using wine to dull my senses and to “take the edge off” due to my PMSD (Post Marital Stress Disorder). Far from possessing a discriminating palate, I couldn’t differentiate a Pinot Noir from a Malbec or Petit Sirah from a Cabernet Sauvignon.
There’s nothing like comfort food on a Sunday afternoon. I enjoyed brunch at a charming, country-cottage style cafe in Tribeca called Kithcenette where they serve the kind of home-cooked meals mama used to make.
