Del Vino Vineyards has recently introduced their Orange Blossom addition to their wines and it has become a fast staple at the vineyard “Exhibiting an aromatic, distinctive aroma of an orange blossom blooming, this fruit forward wine is balanced by crisp acidity leading into ripe, freshly picked oranges and caramelized apricots, expressing a fine and velvety mouthfeel, which leaves the palate with a fruit forward, refreshingly sweet harmonic taste.”

NEW BLOG: Jaws Turns 50! Long Island’s Role

June 20th marked the 50th anniversary of Jaws, the film that made beachgoers everywhere crazy about sharks, in more ways than one.

Julie reached out from Penny’s Flight - an organization inspired by Penny, a talented artist, fashionista, world traveler, social media influencer and the founder of “Glam Camp”, a summer program for young girls. In just 16 years, she lived a life full of purpose, passion and joy, and through her actions showed countless others how to live with grace. Penny was a model of resilience, positivity and courage. Diagnosed with neurofibromatosis (NF1) as an infant, Penny never let this define her or hold her back. She lived her life “Walking on Sunshine”, in the words of her favorite song.

They’re having the Third Annual Penny’s Flight Family Jamboree at Planting Fields this Saturday, June 28th! In the past two years, FamJam raised over $2.4 million for NF Research and welcomed 850 attendees from NYC, CT, and beyond. This year, their goal is to raise $1.5 million while celebrating music, community, and family fun.
