Bill Walters Performs Live at Winterfest

A little rain was not enough to stop LI Winterfest from playing on this past Sunday at the North Fork Vineyards.  I decided to stop by one of my favorite wineries, Peconic Bay, and I am glad that I did.  I enjoyed a glass of Nautique Espirit de Blanc while listening to local musician, Bill Walters.  Bill gave off a Jason Mraz-like vibe, which I really enjoyed.  I could definitely see him performing out in Montauk over the summer, so hopefully he will make some appearances on the South Fork!  Check out the clip below (and please pardon the other people in the frame).

Meet Long Island Cheese Master, Michael Cavaniola, this Sunday at Roanoke Vineyards

With Winterfest still underway on the North Fork, Roanoke Vineyards is celebrating the release of their 2007 Blend 2 by offering a vertical tasting all weekend (March 5th & 6th).  

This "vertical tasting," means that you taste three of Roanoke's previously released vintages, and conclude with a tasting of the brand new 2007 Roanoke Vineyards Blend 2. 

Now, to the cheese.  Local cheese master, Michael Cavaniola of Cavaniola's Gourmet Cheese Shop, Cavaniola's Wine Cellar, and Cavaniola's Kitchen in Sag Harbor, will be at Roanoke on Sunday, March 6th from 2 to 5 PM, creating fabulous cheese platters!  Check out Cavaniola's facebook page for more information and to view pictures that will have your mouth watering for some gourmet delights. 

I love Roanoke and have been a long-time fan of Cavaniola's, so I just might have to stop by myself!
