TOP HAMPTONS VINTNERS RECOMMEND THE BEST PLACES IN MANHATTAN TO TRY THEIR LOCALLY GROWN WINES.

Top Hamptons vintners recommend the best places in Manhattan to try their locally grown wines.

With the East End producing delicious vintages that are increasingly in demand, the concept of “farm to table” dining in New York City can now include the wine you’re drinking.

Ami Opisso, general manager of Lieb Cellars (13050 Oregon Road, Cutchogue, 631-734-1100; liebcellars.com), heads straight for Andrew Carmellini’s Soho standby The Dutch (131 Sullivan St., 212-6776200; thedutchnyc.com). “It’s a pretty sweet afternoon,” she says, “when you can grab a spot near the window, sip our estate-grown Reserve Blanc de Blancs—a delicate, refreshing sparkling pinot blanc—and sample one of the best oyster sandwiches in town.”

The “most loyal customer” in town for Trent Preszler of Bedell Cellars (36225 Main Road, Cutchogue, 631734-7537; bedellcellars.com) is The Marshal (628 10th Ave., 212-5826300; the-marshal.com). Owner Charlie Marshall lists five Bedell wines there and at his new venue, Dianne & Elisabeth, down the block. “Charlie grew up on his parents’ farm and in their restaurant,” says Preszler, “so he believes a restaurant’s wine should also be locally sourced if it’s to call itself truly farm-to-table.”

Unsurprisingly, the world’s top-rated restaurant, Eleven Madison Park (11 Madison Ave., 212-889-0905; eleven madisonpark.com), gets the nod from Gabriella Macari of biodynamic pioneer Macari Vineyards & Winery (150 Bergen Ave., Mattituck, 631-2980100; 24385 Main Road, Cutchogue, 631-734-7070; macariwines.com). “It features several of our wines,” Macari says, “including sold-out library vintages of our popular red blend Bergen Road.” EMP is closed for the summer, but it’s opened a pop-up spot in—where else?—the Hamptons. —M.E.
