Besides the amazing food, sexy space and polished service, what I love about Crown Shy in Manhattan is the creative wine list. On a recent visit, I had the opportunity to sample the 2022 Quink Vineyard Pinot Noir by Trail Marker Wine Co. and wanted to document the tasting notes in case I see this wine featured at other places. With only 68 cases made, it might be a little difficult to find!
This Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir would pair beautifully with mushroom dishes (thinking Porcini Risotto), seared salmon, duck or grilled chicken. Alternatively, having a glass of this wonderful Pinot Noir on a beautiful afternoon on the lanai would be fantastic also, sans food.
