Okay everybody. So far, the bidding on the Menu for Hope prizes I’ve put together has been a little slow.

Maybe you’re waiting until the end to see who is trying for what to increase your chances of winning.

But…I, and Peconic Bay Winery, have decided to sweeten the pot a bit.

So, I’m adding a bottle of the Peconic Bay Winery 2000 Cabernet Franc to the "Big Reds of Long Island" prize and adding a bottle of their 2001 Steel Fermented Chardonnay to the Romantic Weekend prize. Both are library selections that are no longer available anywhere else.

Donate people…it’s for a good cause and these prizes will make great gifts this holiday season!
