On A Shady Tree-Lined Street in Brooklyn... A Wine Bar Grows

Stonehome Wine Bar

There is so much to Brooklyn, I almost don't know where to start, but let's start with michelin star quality food with superb wine in a place where everyone knows what to drink, at a price that's really easy on the wallet. This is the best kept secret... in Brooklyn, in NYC, in... well, you get the picture.

You can get a "flight" which is a series of three wines from a particular region or of a particular grape, and it is seriously a revelation... if you've never drunk actual good wine before. This will let you know what you have been missing, and explain why "sommeliers" go on and on about "the perfect pairing of food and wine". Wine and food can truly have a symbiotic relationship which takes the eating experience to another level.

Stonehome Wine Bar is the place to do this. The menu changes, but it is always delectable. The desserts are wonderful - the warm chocolate cake is a particular favorite. However a friend of mine had the buttersotch pot de créme, and even though he doesn't like desserts, he said "this is the perfect dessert".

'Nuff said
