Well not really, the grapes are brought in from eastern Long Island, but still, Brooklyn is making wine. In the last year or so I've tried a few wines from Brooklyn Oenology (BOE), which is based in Williamsburg/Greenpoint. They make fresh, affordable wines while supporting local artists at the same time. Each wine features a piece by a local artist in a removable sticker label. I love art, so I love this idea! I've enjoyed both the wine and the labels of their 2007 Social Club White (made from Chardonnay), 2007 Viognier and 2006 Motley Cru (a red blend). Check them out! The BOE website includes a Where to Buy section and information on the artists: http://brooklynoenology.com/boe.html.
