It’s Monday and we’re opening up a magnum of pure, concentrated, impeccable Oregon Pinot:
Cameron Pinot Noir Abbey Ridge Dundee Hills 2021
After earning a PhD in Marine Biology in the mid-70s, John Paul Cameron chucked it all and went to work in a California vineyard for $5 an hour. After a stint as the assistant winemaker at Carneros Creek in Napa Valley, he purchased a vineyard in the Dundee Hills within Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Today, his wines are as much an expression of his irrepressible personality as they are the Dundee Hills terroir he champions.

As a new year begins, it feels like a good time to introduce the team members that will be taking care of you in 2024. We begin with four questions for our Executive Chef Jorge Luis Pabón, who grew up in Puerto Rico, studied philosophy, and now runs our kitchen at 47 East Houston Street.

Luscious chocolate cake, black sesame ganache, and, to top it all off, plenty of whipped cream.

Today by the glass starting at 5:30, it’s a crystalline Riesling from the Pfalz:
Brand Weingut Riesling ‘Pur’ 2018
The young Brand Brothers have brought attention to this cool-climate, limestone-rich, traditionally overlooked region. As our friends at Vom Boden point out, they have quietly experimented with zero sulfur winemaking. Some of their expressions were close to perfect from the start. Join us to have a glimpse at these captivating wines by the glass, from a magnum of a vintage from the year the estate was designated as certified organic

This week’s Monday Magnum? A very proper Bordeaux. We’ll start pouring glasses at 5PM.
Closerie du Pelan Côtes de Bordeaux 1999
Its vibrant fruit, its foregrounding of savory mineral elements, and its absence of flash and flab: it’s the old, true, haunting style of Bordeaux that made the region famous, yet which is so rare to encounter these days.

This Monday, December 4th, join us for a BTG magnum that’s not to be missed, a stunning Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits:
Domaine Jean Chauvenet Nuits-Saint-Georges 2018
Since 1994, Christophe and Christine Drag have ushered in a new era for the storied Chauvenet domaine, veering away from chemical treatments and embracing a natural approach. The Nuits-Saint-Georges village appellation represents the bulk of the holdings, more or less seven hectares of vineyards spread across several parcels principally located in the northern reaches of the village, on a combination of silt, sand, and gravel soils, which produce a classic and elegant expression of the appellation

A cross between Asia and Spain and an all-time estela classic: The Fried Arroz Negro with Squid and Romesco.

The cozy holiday feeling continues this evening with our latest Monday Magnum, a beautiful red from Burgenland offered by the glass:
Gut Oggau Blaufränkisch ‘Josephine’ 2018
Bright yet autumnal, this blend of Blaufränkisch and Rösler is another marvel from Stephanie and Eduard Tscheppe. 35-year-old vines on limestone soil. Eight months in oak. Unfined, unfiltered, with zero added sulphur.
We open the bottle at 5PM.

What people say
New American restaurants are known for their innovative takes on classic dishes, and Estela on E Houston Street in New York City is no exception. Chef Ignacio Mattos has created a bistro-style restaurant that offers familiar dishes like tartare, fried rice, and steak, but with a unique twist that will leave your taste buds wanting more.
One of the standout dishes at Estela is the ricotta dumplings, which are served with mushrooms and pecorino sardo. The combination of flavors and textures is simply divine. Another must-try dish is the burrata on toast, which is elevated by the addition of salsa verde and charred bread.
The bar at Estela is also worth mentioning. It's open late and offers a great selection of wines, cocktails, and beers. You can come in for just a glass and a small bite if you're not in the mood for a full meal.
Estela has earned numerous accolades over the years, including a place on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants List and two stars from both New York Magazine and the New York Times. Chef Ignacio Mattos' bold style has been recognized by Esquire as America's Chef of the Year in 2017.
If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in downtown Manhattan, make sure to visit Estela. With its creative take on classic dishes, excellent bar selection, and cozy atmosphere, it's no wonder why this restaurant has become such a popular destination for foodies in New York City.
