Vows in the Vineyards

By Daryna McKeand, February 2002

Have no fear that your wines of choice will outshine the food — caterers in vineyard-heavy regions nationwide are accustomed to planning menus around the wines that you’ll be serving, and have hosted plenty of off-site receptions like yours in the past. Irene Khin Wong of Saffron 59, an Asian-cuisine caterer in New York City, prepared a wedding feast at Long Island’s Channing Daughters Vineyard that included a raw bar and Star Anise and Chinese Five-Spice Roast Long Island Duckling. Wong reports that she has also been called to duty for weddings in Tuscany and Amsterdam.
