Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic



TOMORROW, Saturday, May 30th!


Do you ever wake up in the morning and say "tomorrow is the day I will watch Nacho play his flawless game of polo at Governors Island, NY." Yes, we can totally relate. Our compadres at Veuve Clicquot apparently feel the same way and have been waiting for 70 years since the last polo match was played in NYC. Ralph Lauren's team, Blackwatch (including Nacho Figueras), is playing against Asprey team.

Veuve Clicquot champagne bar will be open field-side during the event and picnics are allowed and encouraged. Free ferries run from Manhattan to Gov Island every 30 minutes. Family friendly!

You will find us near the field Veuve in hand, swooning, over the polo horses, NOT!


Saturday, May 31, 2008, Governors Island, Tickets: FREE, Ferry Ride: FREE too!

FRIDAY ASTRONOMY- Manhattanhenge

Once a year, the Manhattan grid comes into astronomical alignment with the sun, and city dwellers are treated to a sunset that lines up with crosstown streets. We suggest a sidewalk picnic, some discreet open containers and a few fond gazes directed toward New Jersey.

May 30, sunset at 8:16pm; best viewing is at 14th, 23rd, 34th, 42nd and 57th, as far East as possible

In the Casa - World-Class French Wine from Chile

In the Casa World-Class French Wine from Chile

You've had wine with backbone, wine that’s earthy, even wine with "good legs." "Well-traveled" isn't an adjective that comes to mind in matters of the vine, but we submit that the traditional lexicon may need some expanding.

One very good reason: Casa Lapostolle wine.

Casa Lapostolle combines the superb wine terrain of Chile with the wine know-how of France. Founded by the Marnier Lapostolle family (yes, that Marnier Lapostolle family, producers of tasty French liqueur Grand Marnier, as well as other great French wines), the label set up camp in Chile because of its perfect vine-growing climate. Casa Lapostolle's vines are unique to Chile in that many of them were actually brought over from France in the last century—so it's almost like they've got dual citizenship.

As a result, Casa's wines reach levels of jovial sophistication that only wines from such a multicultural fusion could, from their smart Sauvignon Blancs and Chardonnays, to their sassy Cabernets, Merlots and Syrahs. The venerable Wine Spectator even named Casa's 2005 Clos Apalta one of its "Hot Wines," awarding it 96 out of 100 points and describing it as having "gorgeous aromas, great grip and density."

Now, that's the type of wine review worth drinking to.

Nancy Gonzalez Handbags Featured In Sex And The City!

Source: Stylehive

One of the many important fashion lessons Sex And The City taught us is that you are only as fabulous as the bag on your arm. Back in the gold old days when the show ruled our Sunday nights, Fendi bags (and baguettes), abounded ("I’m gonna be a bag lady, a Fendi bag lady, but still a bag lady” - Carrie). An endless array of Christian Dior purses also helped Carrie through some trying times, while Samantha taught us that the Hermès Birkin Bag is the ultimate symbol of status. For the film, a new handbag designer is being thrown into the mix, Nancy Gonzalez, whose luxurious croc handbags were at the top of stylistPatricia Field’s list for accessories. Both Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall are seen carrying Nancy Gonzalez in the flick, as well as a new character, Kim’s little pooch, who was accessorized in a one of a kind matching Nancy Gonzalez collar and leash! Nancy Gonzalez handbags will be at the top of everyone’s wishlist post-premiere, so get yours now! Click SEE SLIDESHOW for the best the Hive has to offer.
