In the early a990's, I was doing a lot of very serious NYC dining..having been to over 75% of the restaurants on the list Steven transcribed...and the Quilted Giraffe was the first meal I had ever had that "blew me away"...in that I could not necessarily describe it or analyze it..but bite by bite, course by course, it was the most exciting food I had ever had, with twists and turns and...FUN!

Wine's food had joy, whimsy, and adventure... a refreshing break from some of the pretensions and egos that were brewing at that time in NY. Also, their daughter is named Winifred...Winnie Wine. I've never forgotten that after all these years..I love that name.
