Food and Wine Pioneers of the North Fork

August 11, 2022 @ 7:30 pm

Free

Presented by the Lifetime Learning Speakers’ Bureau

For 27 years, from 1973 to 2000, John Ross brought true farm-to-table cuisine to the North Fork at Ross’s, his Southold restaurant. He guaranteed that the corn he served was harvested after 4pm the day you dined on it. At the same time, Louisa Hargrave pioneered the first commercial vineyard and winery on Long Island, centered on Estate production of vitis vinifera, European wine grapes that, historically, had been thought impossible to grow on the East Coast.   They and their families put the focus on local quality and freshness, at the forefront of a nationwide “locavore” movement.  Since then, coincidentally, both have written extensively about food and wine, including books by John (“The Food and Wine of the North Fork,” “The Story of North Fork Wine,” and “The Poetry of Cooking”) and by Louisa (“The Vineyard: a Memoir.”)

Join them for a lively discussion of the evolution of food, wine, and hospitality as they experienced it.
