Pairing a chilled Hermit Woods sparkling apple — cider's quiet country cousin.

Hearth-roasted carrots, fermented honey, sumac

Pairing a Slovenian skin-contact ribolla — orange, tannic, the carrots' true match.

Hudson River shad, brown butter, ramps
IV. From the Water

Hudson River shad, brown butter, ramps

Wild shad from a Catskill fisherman, cooked skin-down on the cooling stone, finished with cultured brown butter and wild ramps foraged that morning above Olana.
