This is a Vintage Selection from 2007
The Conversation
The Restaurant Guys share this conversation Francis had with chef and winemaker David Page at the opening weekend of his new bed & breakfast on Shinn Estate Vineyards. He talks about growing and sourcing food on Long Island, ovens that cook for days and the differences between hosting a guest for a couple of hours or a couple of days.
The Inside Track
The Guys knew David from The Red Meat Club (a monthly gathering of NYC restaurateurs) and his restaurant Home which he ran with wife Barbara Shinn. The couple bought a vineyard and taught themselves how to grow grapes and make wine. He talks about immersing themselves in their lives as farmers, winemakers and proprietors of a bed & breakfast.
“We love our lifestyle. We really, truly, truly do. It doesn't mean that every second of every day we're in ecstasy, but we love our lifestyle. And when you find something that you love, it's worth doing. So yes, we do wake up very early and we do spend the entirety of our day immersed in this lifestyle, and there's not anything else that we can think that we really want to do other than have a nice glass of wine at the end of the day and have a good dinner.
And we retire and we start all over the next day,” David Page on The Restaurant Guys 2007
David Page no longer owns Shinn Estate Vineyards.
