A Bit of Personal History

Written By: Romany Reagan on Wednesday, November 14, 2007

Before we get too intimate, allow me to introduce myself.

Hello fellow oenophiles - welcome to my column! My name is Romany, I live in NYC & I like to drink wine. A lot. So right there we have something in common.

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
 

Egg Time!

Written By: Romany Reagan on Wednesday, March 26, 2008

Nothing calls for Champagne like an Easter egg hunt.

"Dear, we have 650 eggs." "I know, Darling, what ever will we do?" Ahh childhood memories... Around every holiday people turn into kids again, at least I know I do. Are you scrambling around your shrubbery looking for breakfast? Chances are you're channeling your inner five year old (and I pray it's Easter morning). Few holidays make me...read more

Written By: Brian Freedman on Wednesday, July 12, 2006
New York State produces some of the most interesting wines in America, and it is only for reasons of fashion and assumption that it is not as popular as some of the country's more traditional wine-producing states like California or Oregon.

Zinfandel, sadly, suffered from a bad reputation for many years, due to the popularity in the United States of an inexpensive and sweet pink wine called White Zinfandel. Zinfandel varietal wines, however, have as much relation to White Zinfandel as Coca-Cola has with Champagne. Fortunately, many people are now discovering the considerable...read more

What, you might ask, would a devout urbanite like myself be doing stomping in my stilettos around the farms of central California? Well, our story begins on a dew-scented day on the lush sidewalks of Manhattan...

Meet our new Wine and the City columnist - Romany Reagan...

I had moved to New York to pursue my acting career and was enjoying varying degrees of success. However as with all lives in art, we all need a day job - and cubicles have never been good for my soul's complexion. I began to realize acting was taking a backseat to said day job, my...
