"Westport Uncorked!" at The Longshore Inn - Westport

10/27/2016

 
Picture

​Fairfield County "It!"
enjoyed a
sophisticated wine tasting and fundraiser
at The Longshore Inn in Westport
hosted by the Westport Sunrise Rotary
to support local charities.



​Packed with wine lovers,
the wine and beer tasting,
​live and silent auction -
all a great success!

​The wine tasting was provided by 

Liquor Locker of Westport.  

Here is Cory D'Addorio, the owner, with a favorite wine friend.  She is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and specializes in food pairing, wine tasting, and seminars.
Picture


​My best taste of the night was the "Paruso Barolo" it was softly tannic and delicious in its
 complexity. 


​Abundant hors' doeuvres
and later dessert were provided throughout the event

Thank you Sunrise Westport Rotary for a delicious wine event and auction in order to raise funds for local charities!

​Fairfield County "It!"

thoroughly enjoyed the 
Geoffrey Johnson art exhibit 
"The Painted City"


 at the Hubert Gallery
on Madison Ave
Upper East Side of Manhattan.
The gallery full of Geoffrey Johnson city inspired paintings brought to mind so many fabulous memories of NYC.  
​
"Study Late Night City"
​took me strolling South on 5th Ave during the Holidays.
The city glowing with lights, warmth and vitality!

"Study for Bryant Park"  Geoffrey Johnson, Oil on Panel, 2015  18x32

Now we are in delightful Bryant Park with its beauty and elegance, surrounded by high rise buildings and next to the gorgeous Beaux-Arts New York Public Library.  

Bryant Park began as the Croton Reservoir, later became drug infested (Needle Park) and now is a delightful break from the midtown
hustle and bustle.

     I always get a feeling of happiness when I walk by and/or enter this lovely burst of nature, which frequently hosts cultural and culinary happenings,
​just steps off 42nd Street.

Until the next time, THE MET!!

24 Hours in Newport, Rhode Island!

10/12/2016

 
What a fantastic, historic & delightful place to spend a day or a life, Newport - Rhode Island!
Fairfield County "It!" enjoyed 24 hours in Newport, Rhode Island.
Picture

We were there during the "Newport International Boat Show".  

One of my friends
owns an unoccupied boat dock on Long Island Sound
and was in search of a captain with a boat!  
Just kidding (sort of).   

It is a great event to explore the latest in yachts and other sea vessels.
Picture



​Then we were off to the
"Cliff Walk" a stunning trail with sea, natural beauty and some large cottages.  

Parts of the walk are easy and other areas are more treacherous.  
We chose easy,
due to our shoes and
​hiking skills.  
Afterward we headed back to the downtown waterfront to enjoy an appetizer at the trendy, upscale
"The Grill at Forty 1 North".  

It is has a colonial exterior,
with a contemporary interior
and great outside dining
with a large bar in the back
and gorgeous view
​overlooking the water.
 
I had the "Peeky Toe Crab Balls".  Round bites full of fresh crab!
Picture

 The next morning we set off to
tour the summer cottages of the well-to-do
of the Gilded Age.  

​Here is "The Breakers" the
Vanderbilt summer cottage.
​
I was interested to hear from a Newport Insider that
Vanderbilt descendants
still occupy the boys wing of the house.  

Be sure to grab a silver tray and slide down the staircase!  
Picture
Picture
Here is the back of "The Breakers" with the sweeping view of the Atlantic Ocean!
We decided to go to the
"Black Pearl" for lunch.  
Famous for their Clam Chowder.

We enjoyed the dark and cozy interior of this 1920's structure
and award winning restaurant.


I came up with a new tasty way to enjoy Clam Chowder,

pair it with a sparkling wine
to cut the warm & creamy
clam filled soup.

An excellent combination!

There is so much more to do and see in delightful
​Newport, Rhode Island.  


I cannot wait to go back!
