It’s soup weather in the 305 and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I do feel (a little) bad for the tourists wishing for balmy beach time.
A variation on my favorite farro salad included strips of balsamic-glazed portobello mushrooms on top. So easy and delicious!
Some nights you just need Sangiovese, am I right? Paired with an excellent vitello alla Milanese from @perricones here in Miami, the Testamatta (crazy head) from @bibigraetz in Tuscany was perfect.
New @delta terminal at LGA is superb! The transformation is unbelievable, especially when you consider the old terminal functioned throughout the massive construction process. Smooth sailing all the way through!
Happy 2023 everyone! Wishing you all good health, good friends, and (of course) good wine in the coming year. Feeling grateful, letting go of the challenges of 2022 and opening my heart to the potential of 2023. Cheers to all the good things! 🥂
Delightful anniversary dinner last night at @bardeasteak - mini Cuban sandwiches made with wild boar and served in a wood cigar box; elk meatballs in a lovely sauce; a wagyu tartare. And that was just the appetizers!
