"What better pairing for wine is there than art?"
That's the question posed by Shinn Estate Vineyards, which will host a pop-up local art gallery every other Friday beginning July 26, from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m.
According to Julia King, who works with David Page and Barbara Shinn at the Mattituck winery, she was "more than thrilled" when Page asked her to create a large work of art.

Blackwell's Changes Course to Pub-Style Menu, Atmosphere
After years as a high-end steakhouse, and about a year in between as more of an "eat local" destination, Blackwell's Pub at Great Rock in Wading River has decided to shift gears and offer a more casual atmosphere, embracing a pub-style menu and widening its offerings of craft beers at their bar.
The pub-style menu now finishes with per person bills in the $20-25 range, a more suitable number for golfers coming off the 18th green.
"We have 25,000 golfers here each season, so to capture that captive audience and keep them here, that's what we want to do," general manager Brian Curtis said.

Lola's Provides More Than Just Tattoos
Lola Snow has been practicing tattooing for 38 years, and for 18 years of those years she's also been an active minister, sometimes even counseling patrons of her tattoo parlor — and not just about the type of tattoo they are considering.
Though she's a business owner, she hopes to provide something more than that for both her customers and her employees, all of whom she trains herself. "Money is a survival tool," she said, "not something to be worshiped. The person comes first." Since opening in Montauk in October 2012, Lola's Tattoos sees average of five to 10 people a day. Though some people are just looking, some come in for simple tattoos. For more complicated larger work, it's best to make an appointment before hand, she said.
