On Saturday, June 14th, 2025, I was invited to join American friends at an event rich in history and national pride—the 250th Anniversary of the U.S. Army Grand Military Parade and Celebration in Washington DC. The blend of the Festival and the Parade filled the nation's capital with nostalgia and excitement, offering all of us a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

At the Sannino Winery, the blend of tradition and innovation was apparent in all facets of the vineyard's operations.

After spending several weeks in Mattituck during the summer and the festive holiday season I can confidently say that it is a hidden gem . .
