Destination: Pocantico Hills, NY
It may seem funny that the wine director and co-owner of La Morra’s “all-time-favorite meal” included a hot dog. But it was just one dish in a multi-hour chef’s tasting at Blue Hill at Stone Barns that offered more than dinner. “During the meal, they got us out of our seats to head to the grill for a beer pairing.… The chef was there answering all our questions. I loved how it gave us a reprieve from our seats and also a view of their amazing property,” Ziskin says. That includes farmland where much of her dinner was grown, a nature preserve open for strolls, animals, a cafe and a store. “It’s a village within itself, and you can easily spend an entire day there.” She and husband Josh, chef and co-owner of La Morra, hope to take a similar approach with Heritage of Sherborn, the inn, restaurant, wine shop and provisions store featuring homemade pasta, bread and jams they’re opening later this year. “Throughout the meal, I kept turning to Josh and saying, ‘Can we do this at Heritage?’ It was that inspiring!”
