THE HAMPTONS , NEW YORK

by Heather Buchanan

The Hamptons are like a woman who looks equally beautiful barefoot in jeans or dressed in heels and sequins. Depending on your boating mood, you can head out the Shinnecock Canal for an exciting ride on the Atlantic Ocean or slip into a protected cove in Three Mile Harbor for a peaceful sojourn. The land is just as versatile with a rich soil sprouting crops in wide open fields. Several vineyards are reaching their maturity, giving France and California a run for their merlot money. Wine tastings, tours, and live music entice the public to celebrate the vines. Start your day with the farmer who is picking tomatoes and sunflowers fresh from the field for his roadside stand and end it at a fine restaurant sipping cognac next to a media magnate.
