Handing out gift bags to our wine trip attendees.

As we raise our glasses to the 15th unforgettable wine trip with our New York Tomatoes to the vineyards of Long Island’s North Fork, we extend heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsor Revitin, whose support continues to elevate this experience year after year. We’re equally grateful to the incredible contributors who helped curate this year’s gift bags—each item a thoughtful reflection of artistry, passion, and purpose. From handcrafted delights to poetic touches, these gifts are more than tokens—they’re stories waiting to be savored. Your generosity and creativity have added a layer of magic to our journey, and we couldn’t be more appreciative.

 Raise a Glass to Craftsmanship: Reclaimed Wine Barrels Reimagined

This photo does not come close to showing how incredibly beautiful this piece is. The Barrel Head Lazy Susan is more than a centerpiece—it’s a rotating story of craftsmanship and heritage. Handcrafted from reclaimed wine or whiskey barrel heads, each piece showcases the natural wood grain, wine stains, and charred bourbon marks that whisper of its past life. It’s functional art with soul, and just one example of the thoughtful design behind Barrel-Art’s collection.

Founder Mike Prieto began this journey after a devastating fire upended his life during a move to Europe. While rebuilding his home, he found inspiration in the wine barrels scattered across European vineyards and crafted his first barrel-based bar. That spark ignited a passion, and in 2013, Barrel-Art was born. Today, Mike transforms aged staves and steel rings into elegant barware, furniture, and décor—each piece a testament to resilience, sustainability, and the beauty of second chances.
