A blog by Joe Caponi about beers and wines, particularly those from Long Island, along with a variety of other comments. This blog was primarily active from 2002-2006, when I was making it out to more wineries and brewpubs!

One of my favorite books, The Lathe of Heaven is coming to A&E in September. They'll be hard pressed to top PBS's stunning version, now about twenty years old, but another run at it is long overdue. A&E's got a cool web site up now. I'm really looking forward to it.

Summer Drinks I've been remiss in reporting my two big wine/beer trips of the summer: a Memorial day trip out on Eastern Long Island, and our fourth of July trip though the wine and beer regions of Ontario, Canada and upstate New York. Stay tuned for that.
In the meantime, a quick look at some top summer drinks: among the beers, local Blue Point Summer Ale (available in gallon jugs at Brightwaters beverage) is a favorite of Eliz's and mine, along with such standards as Samuel Adams Boston Lager and Cherry Wheat. Of course, Tony favors Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Hard to argue with.
I also really like Mike's Hard Lemondade on a hot day--it's got staggering thirst-quenching power. I'm also enjoying the Mike's Cranberry Lemondade. Stay away from Captain Morgan Gold, though, which tastes like a watery rum-and-coke.
