Wine
Enthusiast magazine announced the results of their 2006 Restaurant Awards today,
wherein Rockland County's Lighthouse on the Hudson, in Piermont, NY, became the
recipient of The Award of Distinction for helping "make wine an important
part of the total dining experience" through "commitment and
creativity."
The Lighthouse's
Operations Manager, and Sommelier, Michael A. Cimino, based the wine list on
"worldwide winemaking, with an emphasize on the best New York has to
offer." The list includes wines from the Hudson Valley, Long Island, and
the Finger Lakes districts of New York as well as wines from Italy, France,
Germany, Austria, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Chile, Argentina, Spain, and
California.
"We even
have a dessert wine from Idaho," laughed Cimino. "Not only does it
sell because people are curious, but they order a second glass because it is
that good!"
Mr. Cimino has
designed several wine lists in the greater metropolitan area, including the
acclaimed list at the Park Steakhouse (Award of Excellence—Wine Spectator,
Award of Distinction—Wine Enthusiast). He
is currently working with Anthony Mingone, chef/owner of Romolo’s in Congers,
NY, to improve the standards of wine and service.
