About the James Beard Foundation Founded in 1986, the James Beard Foundation is dedicated to celebrating, nurturing, and preserving America’s diverse culinary heritage and future. A cookbook author and teacher with an encyclopedic knowledge about food, James Beard, who died in 1985, was a champion of American cuisine. He helped educate and mentor generations of professional chefs and food enthusiasts. Today, the Beard Foundation continues in the same spirit by administering a number of diverse programs that include educational initiatives, food industry awards, scholarships to culinary schools, and publications, and by maintaining the historic James Beard House in New York City’s Greenwich Village as a “performance space” for visiting chefs.

Gorgeous Hamptons SunsetLive MusicExquisite Wine

Gorgeous Hamptons Sunset*Live Music*Exquisite Wine…..Greetings Hamptons Mouthpiece Readers…This summer is going to be very exciting and in keeping with my theme of bringing you information that you may not know…last week I visited Wolffer Estate Vineyard in Bridgehampton for Twilight Thursday a Hamptons tradition at the Winery on Sagg Road every Thursday from 5-8pm. Wolffer is so breath-taking and the perfect place to be on a Thursday night from 5-8pm relaxing with friends and listening to some real talented musicians while enjoying a glass of wine or you can purchase a bottle. I had a wonderful time seeing some friends I have not seen in awhile while sipping on one of my favorites at Wolffer their Rose. I went there specifically to see Alex…a new singer that is equally as beautiful as she is talented. Alex is the daughter of Lori Stokes co-anchor of Eyewitness News This Morning and Eyewitness News and Brian Thompson, New Jersey Bureau Reporter for WNBC.

I am told Alex is going to be back at Wolffer performing this summer, she has a flair about her that is warm and embracing. As I sat listening to her sing I thought it would be great if she sang Valerie by Amy Winehouse because I thought her voice was jazzy and she would sound amazing and she sang just that song. Were you in my head Alex? She did not disappoint she was great and everyone loved her.

What’s next for Wolffer..well this Thursday 6/21/12

Iris Ornig, bassist and composer – eclectic jazz, inventive, unique style,

Sunset Friday’s…enjoy a beautiful sunset, live music and of course a glass of wine.

This Friday 6/22/12 Haitian Indie soul artist Obed Jean Louis is a guitarist and composer who has performed in the Hamptons and New York with his unique style.

6/23/12 Celebrate the Group for the East End’s 40th Anniversary with a benefit and auction June 23rd from 6-11PM on the grounds of Wölffer Estate Vineyard!, Saturday June 23, 2012

For more information on events at Wolffer check out their website. http://www.wolffer.com/

If you are on the NorthFork visit Bedell Cellars...I love this Vineyard and it is equally as beautiful as Wolffer…I had the pleasure of visiting that vineyard during Memorial Day weekend when I visited with friends. We had a fantastic time and I recommend as one of my favorite places to visit. For all of you Hamptons locals and visitors, you can take the Shelter Island Ferry or you can take that long drive through Riverhead….Make sure you go with friends and select someone to be the designated driver…Don’t drink and Drive…Your life and others around you are important. For more information for Bedell Cellars visit their website

Well that’s it Hamptons MouthPiece Readers...I can’t wait for Alex to come back out to the Hamptons to perform…Looking forward to hearing Iris Ornig this week. I love Jazz….

Come back this summer to cheek out what’s really happening in the Hamptons…things others are not highlighting.

IT’S HARBORFROST 2012..GET YOUR FREEZE ON!

Greetings Hamptons MouthPiece Readers....It’s the 2nd Annual HARBORFROST weekend in Sag Harbor, whose ready to get your freeze on for the Polar Bear Plunge? I meet people all the time that say to me you live in the Hamptons full-time and I say of course people live here year-round. What’s not to believe, I remember when I use to only come out on the weekends year-round and dread going back to NYC to live my everyday life. The Hamptons are very quiet in the off-season, but it is charming and peaceful. As a younger person I would not have been able to appreciate Sag Harbor as a year-round resident, but I can now and it is one of the most beautiful places in the world to live. I get to drive past the ocean everyday and my personal best is driving over the bridge in Sag Harbor, it has the most beautiful sunrise that just takes my breathe away. So you out there that thinks we shrivel away and hibernate in the winter, the Hamptons does not close up after Labor Day..we work, we party, we go out to eat at Restaurants that stay open year-round, we shop, Eli Tahari is open year-round, our kids go to school, BTW we are home to some of the best public schools in NYS. Sag Harbor is one of the most charming towns of which can be enjoyed all year long, take a break if you live in NYC and visit for the day or weekend.

HARBORFROST WEEKEND ACTIVITIES:

Celebration Kicks off on Friday night The Friends of Yard will be hosting a Winter Celebration Party. **Date: Friday, 2/10/12

YARD is a vital component of our community because it provides positive activities for Sag Harbor’s youth. However, YARD is mostly funded by municipalities which have cut back their funding due to these tough economic times. Now, more than ever, we rely on the generosity of the community to help keep these critical programs intact. According to Debbie Skinner – director of the YARD program, “There’s no better way to kick-off Harborfrost weekend then to attend our gala and support the children of Sag Harbor.”
YARD is a non-profit organization that provides programs and activities designed to keep our community’s kids active, occupied, and engaged. These programs include YARD’s after school program and the wildly popular summer evening program.

Saturday, February 11th is the 2ND ANNUAL HARBORFROST Day and one not to be missed.

It is Labor Day Weekend in the Hamptons

Hamptons MouthPiece…It is Labor Day Weekend in the Hamptons…Well Friends it is here already the last official weekend of summer in the Hamptons…It will be a beautiful sunny day in the Hamptons today…This summer in particular went so quickly, I blinked and I was driving Danielle to college….This has certainly been an exciting summer and an adventurous one to say the least…

We rushed home to beat what was thought to be a hurricane but instead was a very strong Tropical Storm….We were prepared for no electricity….we braced ourselves and waited it out…pleased to say we had minimum damage but most importantly we were alive and well and that is all that is important. Many people were complaining that they did not have electricity for many days but many people in New Jersey, Connecticut, Vermont and upstate New York lost their homes and their life savings due to extreme floodings so keeping things in prospective is vitally important.We dropped our oldest daughter off last Saturday to college and it was an exciting time for her and us…I was not sure how I was going to handle the situation once she was all moved in and it was time for us to leave, but I did not feel sad or the need to cry…I felt extreme joy for her because I was just so proud of her accomplishments and all the possibilities that lie ahead for her. I knew at that moment that both Kurt and I had done a great job in raising our daughter and I was comfortable knowing that we were leaving a woman and not a little girl that needed sheltering…

I wanted to highlight a couple of events for this weekend in the Hamptons that might not be on your radar but they are worthy of attending if you have time…
