We arrived in New York for a very short visit last Friday, and promptly had dinner with friends, my cousin and soon to be cousin-in-law (Is that even a thing? I think I’ll just keep him in the friend category) at our home on the Upper West Side. Naturally, by […]

People go to Bern’s for one of two reasons: The food or the wine. While the food is good, we went for the wine. A friend was celebrating his 50th birthday, and was looking forward to celebrating with interesting older wines. Naturally, we were there to help.
