The 2nd Annual Hamptons Wine & Food Festival is this weekend. The organizers have gathered a nice roster of celebrity foodies and wine experts this year, including Food Network personalities Sandra Lee and Dave Lieberman, wine experts like Josh Wesson and Mark Oldman, and Top Chef winner Harold Dieterle.
Last year, I didn’t talk much about the event — because they didn’t have any local wines there. Instead, they got a big distributor to sponsor the event and poured those.
This year, however, they’ve changed that with local winemakers Kareem Massoud (Paumanok Vineyards) and John Levenberg (Bedell Cellars) on board as speakers and several other wineries will be pouring.
Sadly, other obligations will keep me from going, but there are some great classes and sessions planned.
