Brooklyn Uncorked, the unforgettable coming-together of winemakers and food artisans from opposite ends of Long Island, isn't just about eating and drinking. It's about community.

Nearly 50 wineries lie just 70 miles east of New York City in the ocean-tempered climate and rich soils of Long Island's Hamptons and North Fork. For four decades, this wine country has been nurturing grapes and crafting wines that today show up at wine shops and restaurants from Montauk to Manhattan, and can also be enjoyed at tasting rooms amidst rows of vines a stone's throw from farmstands, seafood shops, B&Bs and all the East End gastronomic experience has to offer.

At the fourth annual Brooklyn Uncorked, on May 5, some very happy attendees will stroll the halls of the Brooklyn Academy of Music while imbibing Long Island wines and noshing samples from Edible's curated list of Gotham restaurants, bakers and other food artisans. Many participating wineries will feature rosé releases to highlight winery participation in the May 2010 Run for the Rosés benefit for CancerCare, a national non-profit offering free social services to individuals with cancer as well as to their family members.

The Long Island wine is the main draw, of course. But it doesn't go unpaired. Among the tables of vintners bearing bottles made from grapes grown just a day's drive away are selected comestibles from the very food-focused boroughs. Among those creating dishes are Tanoreen, DuMont, Dressler, Txikito, Gramercy Tavern, Palo Santo, Stinky Bklyn, Savoy, D. Coluccio & Sons, Tipsy Parson, Liddabit Sweets, Watty & Meg, Good Fork, Orwasher's Bakery, Katchkie Farm, Great Performances and Dallis Coffee. That's a whole evening of food and wine for just $40.

Among those wineries that will be pouring are Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard, Bedell Cellars, Bouké, Brooklyn Oenology, Channing Daughters Winery, Clovis Point, Corey Creek Vineyards, Croteaux Vineyards, Gramercy Vineyards, Grapes of Roth, Jamesport Vineyards, Lieb Family Cellars, Long Island Merlot Alliance, Macari Vineyards & Winery, Martha Clara Vineyards, The Old Field Vineyards, Palmer Vineyards, Raphael, Roanoke Vineyards, Sherwood House Vineyards, Shinn Estate Vineyards, Waters Crest Winery, Wölffer Estate. In addition, the New York Wine Stand, a program of the New York Wine and Grape Foundation and Pride of New York, to feature New York wines at city Greenmarkets, will sample Empire State rieslings.

Partner wine shops throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn will feature New York wine for the month of May with tastings and classes. A list and map of wine shops will be available here.

The NYC Food Film Festival will be graciously screening food porn as a run-up to the Fourth Annual NYC Food Film Festival in June.

Brooklyn Uncorked is produced by Edible Brooklyn, along with its sister publications, Edible Manhattan and Edible East End, with support from the Long Island Wine Council and the New York Wine and Grape Foundation.

Brooklyn Uncorked runs from 4 to 8 p.m. Members of the public can sample during the 4-hour event for $40, with an early session open to the food and wine trade. Trade should RSVP to event director Samantha Seier, sam.edible@gmail.com.
