WineRelease.com's January 15, 2007 Monthly Newsletter.
Happy New Year from WineRelease.com, now 1,167 winery listings strong!
I spent New Year's in New York and now have a new favorite restaurant, Fleur de Sel, it usurped Veritas as my culinary favorite.
I also had a great dinner at Artisinal, the best live uni at the Oyster Bar in Grand Central, some great wines at Cru and a big bowl of some fantastic pork ramen at the Momofuku Noodle Bar.
I also visited the Bottega del Vino wine bar with some friends (see photo).
Jamie (left), Alexis and me at Bottega del Vino in Manhattan.
I also want to let you know that my niece Brynn, who has been featured on WineRelease.com over the years while she was going to Cal Poly (and my designated driver while I toured the Central Coast wine region), moved to New York and is loving it (see photo).
Brynn having brunch with us on New Years Day at the Boathouse in Central Park.
And since returning from New York, I have been busy updating the site with 96 winery updates (see below).
And now, on to the show...
