McCall Wines: Wine Spectator lauds 3 Long Island wineries - Explore LI →

by Ryan Salinetti

Mention: "Wine Spectator, the influential publication devoted to grapes and wine-related news, food and travel, praises three Long Island wineries in its current issue.

Bedell Cellars and McCall Wines, both in Cutchogue, and Wolffer Estate in Sagaponack are touted in the June 15 magazine, which recommends that visitors go to the East End for a taste.

The article by Ben O'Donnell, "Long Island's Rising Tide," notes, "In New York's coastal vineyard region, three wineries show the way."

Wine Spectator cited Wolffer's rose wine and new ciders; McCall's Bordeaux-style red blend, which is mainly merlot; and Bedell's popularization of local merlot, as well as the winery's artist series labels.

In December, Newsday listed its 12 favorite Long Island wines that are currently available. They included the 2010 McCall Pinot Noir;  two Wolffer wines, the 2010 Wolffer Fatalis Fatum red blend and winemaker Roman Roth's own label 2006 The Grapes of Roth Merlot; and two Bedell wines, the 2010 Musee red blend and 2012 Gallery white blend."—By Peter M.

ALYSON FOX | THE MULTITASKING FOX OF THE DESERT | Daily METAL →

by Ryan Salinetti

Mention: "You cannot just label Alyson Fox. She is involved with so many things, that I practically lost counting. Is she a photographer? An artist? A designer? No one will ever tell, simply because Alyson must have two pairs of hands just as goddess Kali. Therefore in the following interview you will not learn what Alyson is, but what Alyson does. From clothing and furniture design and dinnerware to photography, textiles and painting, this peaceful, but yet restless mind, tends to stretch out the boundaries of creativity. She claims that ideas strike her any time and place and among her greater inspirations are simplicity and her husband."—Daily Metal

Wonderful plaster cast tiles of flowers by Rachel Dein of Tactile Studio | Flowerona

by Ryan Salinetti

Mention: "I’ve recently discovered the work of London-based artist Rachel Dein of Tactile Studio and thought I’d share some of her wonderful floral-inspired plaster cast tiles with you today. By making impressions initially in wet clay and then pouring plaster directly over them, she’s able to capture the intricate details of the flowers. She finishes and refines the casts by hand.  And some of them, she also paints using watercolours. Rachel’s favourite flowers to cast include Dicentra spectabilis (Bleeding heart) and Japanese anemones. And she’s often commissioned to make wedding flower tiles for brides who wish to preserve their bridal bouquet...."—Rona Wheeldon

Living the Sakara Life ‹ Beca Alexander – Wang. McQueen. Beca. →

by Ryan Salinetti

Mention:" If you follow me on Insta, you may have noticed my recent not completely dramatic, but definitely have to buy new jeans, weight loss.

The hubs and I had an intense holiday season of binging on fried crap, Seamless, and Scandal, and desperately needed a lifestyle change. Since I’m more the make money not frittatas type, I did a ton of research and discovered Sakara, an organic, mostly raw and vegan food delivery program that sends healthy delicious meals right to your door. We’ve been on the program since New Years, and not only have we lost a good amount of weight (Saynt about 25 pounds and me around 15), our energy levels have increased, we sleep better, our skin glows, and we don’t crave the yucky stuff...."—Beca Alexander

Philip Barlow - blurred lines - dressed by style →

by Ryan Salinetti

Mention: Philip Barlow – “Although I work within a long tradition of landscape painting, my depiction of the ‘seen’ landscape is simply a vehicle through which I navigate territory of another nature. A landscape less ordinary; where the line between the physical and the spiritual realm has seemingly been removed. However, these scenarios are not intended to be of a surreal nature. Hopefully they will seem curiously familiar and convincingly real.”
