Wine Suggestions For Your Thanksgiving Feast Kitchens across America will be heating up next week, perfect timing with the temperatures slowly dropping outside. And with a satiating feast and desserts, nothing completes the meal better than a nice glass of wine. We recently stopped by Stew Leonard’s Wine Shop in Carle Place for a little chat with store manager, Mark Slattery, about some holiday wine suggestions and here’s what we found out:

With hors d’oeuvres Try a medium-bodied, crisp, white wine like Chardonnay, a popular choice that is easily found at any local wine store, for pairing with your appetizers. Chardonnay is classic, with notes of fresh fruits and surprisingly, and makes a fantastic pairing with appetizer foods like crab or salmon and cheeses. We learned from Slattery that New York makes some of the top-rated Chardonnay in the country. “The Chardonnay grape can grow

just about anywhere; it’s versatile,” said Slattery. He explained that the Chardonnay grape grows very well on Long Island and throughout New York cause the climate and growing conditions are so similar to the grape’s home region in Burgundy, France. Slattery’s Chardonnay suggestions include:

• Osprey Dominion (North Fork, Long Island), three labels range from $13-$20. Osprey Dominion’s Regina Maris Chardonnay shouts out fresh flavors like apple, melon and a hint of pineapple, framed by a light butter and vanilla, sells for $13. • Lenz Winery (North Fork, Long Island), two labels range from $15$30. Lenz Winery’s 2012 White Label

Chardonnay is dry and crisp with a slight nutty finish, this no-oak “east coast” style Chardonnay is lively with vibrant tropical, citrus and pineapple flavors, sells for $15. • Red Tail Ridge (Finger Lakes, NY), two labels range from $13-$16. Red Tail Ridge’s Sans Oak Chardonnay is crafted without the use of oak and offers tart yellow apples on the nose with fresh-squeezed lemon juice, Anjou pears and a hint of stoniness and granite. The palate highlights more of the minerality with orange blossoms, tangerines and balanced texture. The wine ends with a zippy acid finish extending crunchy apple notes, sells for $13. Don’t like Chardonnay? Try Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard’s 2011 Riesling with the fresh aromas and tastes of melon, peach, honey, jasmine and apricots with just a tease of grapefruit, sells for $27. Or try Paumanok Vineyard’s 2014 Chenin Blanc, a fresh, crisp blend of grapefruit and pineapple, with more subtle notes of melon, apple and guava. Paumanok’s is the only Chenin Blanc grown in New York, sells for $28.

Less Stress This Thanksgiving

Seven easy steps to your best turkey yet BY ROBERT SILVERMAN SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Selecting, preparing and cooking the centerpiece of your family’s Thanksgiving meal can pile on a lot of stress. However there are some easy ways to simplify the process. “There are a lot of great choices, but they can certainly be overwhelming during a busy holiday,” said Theo Weening, global meat buyer for Whole Foods Market. Here are seven basic rules to ensure you have the perfect turkey for your holiday meal.

Plan ahead Frozen turkeys can take several days to fully thaw. The safest method is by placing it on a tray in its packaging to catch drips, and put it in the refrigerator on the lowest shelf. Plan for one full day of thawing for every five pounds of turkey. If you’re short on time, put your turkey in a leak-proof wrapper and submerge it completely in cold tap water. The water should be changed every 30 minutes. Plan for 30 minutes of thawing time per pound.

There are many different types of turkey to choose from. Some grocers carry a variety of birds and additionally have in-house butcher experts behind the counter to help you choose what is right for your taste and budget. Here are five types of turkey that can be found in your local meat department: • Organic: fed organic feed (that means no GMOs, among other things) and given access to the outdoors. • Classic: known for their trifecta of flavor, quality, and value. • Heritage: rich, succulent, oldworld breeds cherished for flavor.

• Heirloom: robust flavor with a higher percentage of dark meat. • Kosher: certified kosher.

Size matters A good rule of thumb is to buy 1½ pounds of turkey per person, providing everyone a healthy portion while allowing for those sought after leftovers.

Read the label The best birds are raised with the highest standards. This means no antibiotics, no animal by-products in their feed, no added solutions or injections and no added growth hormones.

Brine Soaking turkey in a saltwater solution for four to 24 hours before roasting keeps it tender and juicy. Try a brine kit for a simple and easy recipe.

Time it It takes approximately 13 minutes per pound to cook a turkey at 350 degrees, and the turkey is done once it reaches 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer and insert it into the thickest part of the thigh (without hitting the bone) to test the temperature.

Rest Wait 30 minutes before carving the turkey. Giving the turkey time to rest allows the juices to redistribute for better flavor. When it comes to choosing and cooking your holiday turkey, preparation is key. Do your research, know what you like, and enjoy the rest. Check out Whole Foods website (www.wholefoodsmarket.com/turkey) for more turkey tips. Robert Silverman writes for Statepoint.

The Barn at Old Bethpage entices couples with a warm and romantic setting

A Cozy Reception R

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

eception venue trends these days all center around one word: unique. Gone are the days of picking the name of a catering hall out of a hat, as Long Island brides and grooms have become more specific in the venue that will house the biggest party of their lives. While many couples still opt for catering halls, others choose from the opulent Gold Coast mansions, beautiful beaches of the Hamptons or a destination wedding. But there is another contender that is not as well known: The Barn at Old Bethpage Village Restoration. Built in 1995, the barn was primarily used for The Long Island Fair and was intended to be a replica of the original 1860 Mineola Fair Building. According to former event coordinator Lindsey McKeever, it wasn’t until the early 2000s that the barn gained momentum as a wedding venue. “It’s so unique and refreshing. A lot of people don’t know it’s here so it’s like the best kept secret on Long Island,” said McKeever, who has been with Nassau County for three years. The 8,000-square foot space holds 300 people and recent renovations of heat and air conditioning in the bathrooms make the barn more accessible for county see BARN on page 6B

wedding photos in the village, and during the fall, the scenery is stunning. But bringing the autumnal elements from the outside in just takes a little creativity. Using mason jars with candles as centerpieces, tying rope and a tree branch around a napkin, using pinecones and leaves as place card holders, hanging or draping burlap and adding an extra twinkling of string lights around the beams make for the perfect country evening and adds a little more ambiance. “Couples rent the space for a fee and then they work with the caterer to determine the packages for the wedding including food, rentals, china, glass, silverware and a maître ‘d,” said McKeever. “The caterer will customize any of the four menus, but since there isn’t a kitchen on the property, some choices are limited.” But fall treats like a s’mores station, hot chocolate bar or caramel apple

events, bat/bar mitzvahs, sweet sixteens and, of course, weddings. “You don’t have to go out east or upstate to get something country, so it’s very convenient,” said McKeever. “The barn here is close and doesn’t become a destination wedding if you already live in Nassau County.” As for the allure of the space, it is simply breathtaking. Upon entering through double doors, one needs to only look up and marvel at the cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, criss-cross pattern of the wood floor and rustic hanging lanterns. Several windows at varying heights line the walls and welcome an outpour of sunshine during the day and a starry sky at night. McKeever said that the barn definitely sees a specific clientele, but most of the time it is a couple who appreciate the raw beauty of the barn and enhance the rustic and romantic theme. “It can be a wedding in a barn or a barn wedding, that’s how I like to look at it,” said McKeever, who added that the barn is only open for events from April through November and that they only do bookings up to a year in advance. “Last year we had 14 weddings and in 2016 we have 24, so the space has grown in popularity.” Couples are permitted to take their

(Photo by Dream Events) table, as well as a signature drink with maple, pumpkin, apple or cinnamon flavors, can be requested by the couple to enhance the seasonal theme. “It’s just gorgeous the way it is, there’s really not much to do,” said McKeever of the barn. “Most people do the country music, cowboy boots and rustic beauty for a wedding. We

do square tables because the building is square and it’s unique.” If the pastoral beauty of The Barn at Old Bethpage Village Restoration fits in perfectly with your dream wedding day, visit www.obvrweddings. com or call 516-572-8409. The barn is located at 1303 Round Swamp Rd., Old Bethpage.

Floral Fantasies

The perfect flowers and colors to make your wedding enchanted BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

What better way to turn your dream wedding into a reality than with a stunning tablescape of fresh flowers? Drawing inspiration from the rich colors of autumn and crisp beauty of the winter is what Philip Sammut, owner of Pedestals Florist in Garden City Park does best this time of year. “It’s been Pedestals from day one and I’ve been doing this for the past 22 years,” said Sammut, who worked for a florist and delivered flowers in high school. “After I graduated college, I took all the money I saved and opened up my first shop, working hard to eventually grow the business to multiple locations in Westchester, Queens and Long Island.” Flowers are attainable all year round, so if a bride is getting married in the fall and wants a summery pink lily, it is possible. But for the brides who want their weddings to soak up as much of the autumn and winter season as possible, there are many ways to create magic. “In fall, you have the rich, luscious colors of orange, yellow, purple and deep red, so orchids, roses, dahlias, hydrangeas and even sunflowers can all be autumnal flowers,” said Sammut, who added that clients also bring in acorns or pressed leaves to add. “It’s also about how you light your see FLORAL on page 8B

Beneath the juicy blackberry, raspberry and boysenberry flavors, a distinct sliver of refined, artisanal chocolate emerges in Rancho Zabaco’s Heritage Vines Zinfandel 2013. A subtle peppery note rounds out the taste of this big and bold Zinfandel, sells for $15. If you aren’t keen on Zinfandel and want to stick to a locally-made red wine, Slattery said Long Island’s North Fork region also makes good Cabernet Franc, such as Paumanok Vineyard’s 2013 Cabernet Franc, with aromas of bramble fruit, herbs, flowers and spice. It’s medium-bodied with firm tannins, black fruit and cherry flavors, sells for $30.

For the main holiday meal, serve Zinfandel, a deep, aromatic red wine with flavors like berries and spice. Zinfandel is a perfect choice for pairing with roasted turkey, but you will have to purchase a wine that is not produced locally. “It’s too cold on Long Island to grow the Zinfandel grape,” said Slattery. “The best [domestic] Zinfandels come from northern California.” Slattery’s Zinfandel suggestions include: • Zinfandels by Seghesio Family Vineyards (Sonoma County, CA), nine labels range from $16-$58. Seghesio’s 2014 Sonoma Zinfandel offers tantalizing raspberry, blueberry, classic briary and spicy flavors with a balance of components, sells for $24. • Edmeades Zinfandels (Mendocino County, CA), seven labels range from $16-$35. Edmeades’ 2012 Gianoli Vineyard Zinfandel offers broad and deep, mountain-grown flavor. Massive in briary and blackberries, it has layers of baking spices, especially cloves and cinnamon, orange zest, and a sweet, and a concentrated burst of liquefied red licorice, sells for $35.

Accent with different types of greenery, votive candles, a burlap runner, gold chargers and tie your napkin with rope or a sprig of pine or a berry.” Sammut has also worked with apples and gourds to truly epitomize all that autumn has to offer. As for winter, he recommends grays, icy blues and every shade of white to let the centerpiece shine. “White garden roses and hydrangeas are gorgeous in the winter, but you can also do a calla lily or a flowering pear blossom,” he said. “In the winter, you’re getting a lot more of the flowering branches, the amaryllis and your French tulips start coming back as well.” Sammut likes to use snowberries for a pop of color and dusty miller, which is a grayish blue green plant for winter arrangements. “I love using mirrors, crystal and clear glass with crisp, clean edges,” he said for wintry accents. “White birch branches and candles embedded in fake snow on the table really evoke a winter theme.” Pedestals imports different flowers from all over the world including orchids from Hawaii and Thailand, hydrangeas from Ecuador and calla lilies from California and South America, where Sammut said 60 percent of his flowers come from because the country

is becoming advanced in the growth of flowers. “Flowers are natural so I prefer to keep them in their own element,” said Sammut, meaning that he does not spray paint or add glitter as he believes that’s what accent pieces are for. “We ask a client what they envision, but I also offer them many options in lighter and softer tones to choose from.” Since roses come in many different colors and textures, Sammut recommends that brides stick within the rose family to be consistent. He also suggests to look at flowers one year in advance in the actual season of your wedding if possible, as that will allow you to best envision the day. “The most important thing it is to be comfortable with your florist. Ask as many questions as you want and ask to see samples,” said Sammut, who recommends that brides do their homework and bring in images. “If you’re creative, you can make anything beautiful because flowers are beautiful in their own way.”

Wedding Etiquette 101

Tips on what to give the happy couple and how to mind your manners as a guest

he said yes! We’re engaged! We’re getting married! While these are some of the happiest phrases newly betrothed couples can utter, it’s their family and friends who begin to see the bigger picture before they do. Of course, everyone is happy, it is a wedding after all. But with it comes a big financial commitment. Etiquette expert Linda Williams shares some financial tips and tricks for wedding guests that won’t break the bank.

How much money should a guest give as a gift? While toasters and china as wedding gifts are a thing of the past, some guests do still gift the couple something physical, like a picture frame or toasting glasses. But that’s what a bridal shower is for. “The rule of thumb is to consider the cost of the dinner per person,” said Williams. “Although you may not know how much the couple is paying per plate, you should consider no less than $100 per person. Since the invitations are sent in advance, put something aside each week so it’s not a huge financial burden.” Wedding gifts can also be dependent on the guests’ relationship to the couple. More than likely, a close aunt is going to be more generous than a college roommate. What is the rule on bringing a plus one? It is up to the bride and groom and their families to decide who should be invited. So unless specified on the invitation, it is frowned upon for invited guests to bring along a date. “Unless you are willing to pay for the extra person you should not consider asking,” said Williams, who added that enough notice should be given so as not to upset table configurations. On that note, it is also impolite for a bride and groom to choose who gets to bring a guest. So to the engaged couple: all or none for a plus one. Should you still give a gift if you can’t attend the wedding? “If you are absolutely unable to attend you should, let the bride know immediately,” said Williams, as there may be someone the bride would like to ask as a replacement. “It would be appropriate to give a small gift. You might find out where the couple

is registered and choose a gift that way.” However, if you will not be at the wedding but would like to include what you would have given the couple, by all means send a card with a check. Just remember, when it’s your turn, it is more than fair for them to return the same courtesy and gift to you. What’s the rule on making speeches and song requests? While the bride and groom want their guests to have a great time, it is their day. Unless previously discussed, the only people who should be making a speech are the maid of honor and best man. As for song requests, DJs are usually very good about including an eclectic mix of songs that has been previously discussed with the couple. Some couples even reserve a line on the RSVP card for song requests. The bride and groom have planned every detail, so as a guest, it is your job to enjoy it. What about tipping vendors? While it may seem enough of an exorbitant cost for their service, it is customary to tip some of your vendors. “Your hair stylist and makeup artist will be expecting a tip from every client they work on, so tell your bridesmaids to factor in 15 to 20 percent of a tip, depending on the quality of service,” said Williams. It is optional to tip photographers and musicians and the same goes for a church officiant or minister who performs the ceremony. He or she may accept a donation to the church, which should be discussed beforehand. “Reception gratuity is usually built into the bill, but you should tip your wait staff 15 percent,” said Williams, factoring in two of the most important helpers you will have for the night: your bridal attendant and maître d’. A bridal attendant will assist the bride with her dress and make sure she has everything she needs. Tipping the attendant anywhere from $150 to $200 is acceptable. As for the maître d’, they are responsible for making sure the wedding goes smoothly. Tip the maître d’ anywhere from $200 to $400. “Everyone who provides their services on your wedding day should be given a gratuity because of the level of professionalism and care they give,” said Williams. “Exceptional service deserves an exceptional tip.”

Say Yes To The Dress BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

It’s the most important dress a girl will ever wear. For many brides, shopping for a wedding gown is the moment when it all sinks in: they are getting married. Saying yes to the dress should be an enjoyable time, and Kleinfeld’s fashion director Terry Hall said that it’s all about how a bride feels in the dress, and everything else will fall into place. “I’ve been the fashion director at Kleinfeld for four years. I designed my first wedding dress when I was 12,” said Hall of his time in the industry. “My job is to scour the globe looking for new designers and looks we don’t have in the salon.” The famous TLC show “Say Yes to the Dress” follows the consultants and brides around the Manhattan salon, and airing the show in 180 countries doesn’t hurt exposure. “We pride ourselves in having something you can’t find anywhere else in the world,” said Hall of exclusive designers like Pnina Tornai, Mark Zunino and Dennis Basso.

“We have 60 different designers and more than 1,600 samples for every bride and every price point.” Fresh off the glitz and glamour of New York Bridal Fashion Week, Hall said that this season’s hottest trends for wedding dresses include jumpsuits, crop tops and heavily embellished ball gowns. Sheer sheath dresses, simple silhouettes and high necklines are also favorites. “The two main Dennis looks I saw Basso’s white lace detail is were soft a nod to winter. A-lines featuring beautiful laces, two-tone beading, an illusion neckline or detailed back and then very sexy

Kleinfeld’s fashion director Terry Hall shares the hottest trends and traditional styles that brides love dresses. Not a lot in between, but we’re having a sexy moment right now and we’ll see that for a few more seasons,” said Hall. But for the brides who don’t want a plunging neckline and high slit, there are plenty of options, especially for fall and winter brides who want to play on the seasonal weather. “For several years, it was all about the strapless, sweetheart dress. Now we’ve seen a movement to brides wanting sleeve in some
