Our first stop was at a small winery called "Corey Creek Vineyards" Bedell Cellars. We tasted 2 whites and 2 reds bought Nothfork chips...(I said we were ready to shop)I tell you there were so many chips and all of a sudden 2 people bought then 2 more and so on and so on.... Took great pictures and went to our next stop.
"Martha Clara Vineyard", was so darn cute! It is owned by the Entenmann Family...yes the cake people who opened a little bakery in 1898 in Brooklyn, NY! Go figure they made cakes so great and also wine? Yes they can make wine and their adorable vintage young girl in a bridal dress label just took my breath away. In 1978 the Entenmann Family sold their "Cake Empire" and moved to the North Fork of Long Island, New York. Their son bought a potato farm and noticed that alot of the farms in the area were turning into Vineyards, so of course in 1995 he also got the grape bug and the rest is history. The son named the Vineyard after his Mother Martha Clara Entenmann. Martha was an inventor in her own right. She made the traditional white opaque bakery box and invented the now Iconic packaging with a see-through window. We were escorted through a tasting room, and a cute store and into this enormous barn and fed. We had views of the vineyards, all their animals, horse and wagon and sunflowers that you can pick on your own. Then we tasted 4 wines and bought some wine and gifts boarded the bus and off to Shecky's Girls Day we went.
Thank Goodness the "Shopping Gods" were with us..at home it was raining hard and 3 hours away in South Hampton, still New York it was hot and sunny. Yes let the shopping begin. It was all outside at a museum. I wanted to take home a little shack like buildings and oh the old mailbox...ok so I settled with a free goodie bag filled to the brim and overflowing with goodies. There were drinks and the ever famously cute Cupcake Stop Truck was there handing out free miniature cupcakes...yes free cuties! I bought a cute long strapless dress and a gorgeous necklace featured in many fashion magazines (see picture of 2 cute girls in glasses dressed in black) Eda and Betty Heirloom Couture; well they have 5 charms you can pick yourself and dangling chains..can we say cute? so that is it I was so tired I came home and fell asleep. I had a blast with my friend Maria it was the perfect girl day out.
