Wine's Health Benefits

Written By: Romany Reagan on Tuesday, June 24, 2008

Is the Fountain of Youth Made of Wine?

Alcohol has gotten a bad rap, and deservedly so given liver failure, heart disease and the social dysfunction it can cause, however wine is in the paradoxical category of actually improving health. There has been a lot of talk lately about the components of wine and how they affect our physical wellbeing. Is it the antioxidant resveratrol? ...read more

 

Wedding Blitz 2008

Written By: Romany Reagan on Friday, June 13, 2008

Pack your Cliff bars and do an extra set of crunches -- it's Wedding Season!

It's wedding season, and rather like hunting season, there are rules and gear involved. First there is the emotional excitement and/or turmoil that friends' weddings cause, then there's the logistical turmoil of travel to said wedding, presents for said wedding, who to bring to said wedding and what to WEAR to said wedding. The pressure is...read more

Bubbly & the Beach

Written By: Romany Reagan on Monday, June 9, 2008

Prioritizing this summer so you can have it all!

Summer is upon us! The weather has been so schizophrenic here in New York that it has thrown me into a sort of state of denial about the advancing months (yes, I'll blame the weather) -- until suddenly here I sit, eyeing last year's tiny summer wardrobe with dread. As my slightly larger body curses winter's debauchery my mind plots my escape...read more

 

A Toast to Graduates (Pop the Champagne)

Written By: Romany Reagan on Wednesday, May 28, 2008

A look back for those who have graduated, and a look ahead for those who are about to.

Ahh... June. Summer time. Birds are chirping, mowers are humming, skirts are shrinking and everywhere college kids are graduating. Yeah, June is good. On sunny, lazy days like these I get all nostalgic thinking about my own graduation day. My mom and I had a champagne brunch in the morning of her signature Eggs Golden Rod (see my Easter...read more

Wine and Watch at the Speakeasy Cinema

Written By: Romany Reagan on Wednesday, May 21, 2008

Why hit the winebar after the movie, when you could bring the winebar to the movie

One thing I love about NYC is the BYOB. There are BYOB restaurants everywhere, but there is a little known other BYOB once a month, and that is BYOB Cinema. My friend and colleague Matt Kohn puts on Speakeasy Cinema one Monday a month at The Tank theatre on Church St. in Tribeca. (Incidentally the same theatre where, in July, yours truly...read more

 

Inside Channing Daughters

Written By: Romany Reagan on Friday, May 9, 2008

The Renegade on the North Fork

One of my favorite local vineyards here in New York is Channing Daughters, on the North Fork of Long Island (http://channingdaughters.com/). They always have interesting new blends and methods to try - - and thus far, according to this girl's palate, nary a misfire. Their Scuttlehole Steel-fermented Chardonnay is elixir enough to make you want...read more

Wine Under Fire

Written By: Romany Reagan on Friday, May 2, 2008

Six months later, Southern California reflects on the the trials and, oddly, benefits of a fall under fire.

Wine and the City has gone back to the beach. I am currently in (not so sunny) San Diego for my grandfather Randy's 93rd birthday. Yes, he is celebrating his NINETY THIRD birthday this week, it must have been the red wine in his youth -- of course being an inventor who never stopped and is actually currently awaiting three patent approvals...read more

 

Sustainable Wine

Written By: Romany Reagan on Tuesday, April 22, 2008

A ray of hope for imbibers with a conscience.

It's so cool that now green is cool, because kids, it's getting warm in here -- and Napa has noticed. As the region makes 90% of the wine consumed in the US, what they do and how they do it affects us all on some level. It's a tale both scary and affirming. What's scary is the timeline during which we can expect some of these changes to...read more

Bulgarian Galore

Written By: Romany Reagan on Monday, April 14, 2008

Flying underneath the radar, Bulgaria is waiting to bust into the mainstream art and wine worlds.

So yes it was quite tragic to me at first that I couldn't hook up the Bulgarian Film Festival with wine for their event with my wonderful skills - however imagine my surprise and glee at discovering what they did come up with! I arrived post-hosting to the gala, quite glam in my evening gown if I do say so, to be welcomed with a glass of...read more

 

Free Wine

Written By: Romany Reagan on Monday, April 7, 2008

Romany's guide to getting free vino the right way.

I'm sure a lot of you worldly, outgoing wine people have encountered a chance to host an event. Whether it be a convention of sorts for work or an event to raise charity: where you have people, you must have wine and yummy edibles. The yummy edibles your cousin Franz might be able to whip up on the cheap, but you've probably set aside quite a...read more
