Shop 'Til You Drop: New Rosé, Fro Yo and Invasion of the Pop-Ups
If you’re looking for a way to cool off this holiday weekend, head to Buddhaberry for all sorts of fabulous frozen treats. Their frozen yogurt has five cultures and three probiotic strains to aid in digestion. Fill your cup with the good stuff, then cover it in candy. Healthy? Mostly! It’s all about balance at Buddhaberry. Quality ingredients make their yogurts, sorbets, smoothies, shakes, Belgian waffles and crepes all as guilt free as dessert can be. You’ll find Buddhaberry at 43 South Euclid Avenue in Montauk, or at 125 Main Street in Sag Harbor. Visit buddhaberry.com to find out more.
Celebrate the spirit of Independence Day with a brand new fragrance. Bond No. 9 has released a new line of scents for their Summer ’16 collection. Liberty Island is a fruity floral blend with hints of summer nostalgia: bergamot essence, Mandarin essence, black currant, orange blossom absolute, jasmine, marshmallow and musk. The classic Bond No. 9 star bottle is emblazoned with white stars, just like Old Glory herself. Find the new scent at the Bond No. 9 boutique at 45 Main Street in Sag Harbor, or at bondno9.com.
If you’re not familiar with Finca Wölffer, now is the best time to give it a taste. Finca Wölffer Rosé is grown from Wölffer’s vineyard in Mendoza, Argentina. This isn’t a simple saignée rosé. It’s made with a special blend of malbec, pinot noir, syrah, and others to create the perfect acidity and depth. While Wölffer did introduce a rosé, Finca Wölffer Brau, from the Mendoza vines in 2014, this new and improved rosé was picked later (read: riper) and is true to the style of Argentinian wine. Basically, now the Wölffer folks down in Argentina know what they’re doing. Finca Wölffer won’t remain a little known wine for long, so snag a bottle at retailers around New York City and the Hamptons starting July 1. Due to a series of import snafus you won’t be able to buy it directly from Wölffer Estate, so keep an eye out, and buy it when you can. And a tip, if you’re now craving rosé: Wölffer is offering free shipping in the tri-state area on all cases of Summer in a Bottle Rosé through July 4. Visit wolffer.com to learn more.

Find it at your local bookstore, or on amazon.com.
