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.

A vine grows in Brooklyn

Celebrate Hudson @ New Amsterdam Market with NY Wine
If you're in the city this weekend, why not check out the New Amsterdam Market on Sunday, Sept. 13, for some NY wines, meats, and cheeses?! Brooklyn Oenology, Shinn Estate, and Paumanok Vineyards will be among the NY wineries representing. Plus check out Dickson's Farmstand Meats and several other vendors from local farms and establishments.
Apparently Sept. 13 will be NYC's very own Harbor Day, which will celebrate the 400-year anniversary of when Henry Hudson and his crew explored what became New Amsterdam (and later New York) in 1609. Cheers, Hudson!
