The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce is kicking off its 2nd Annual Kosher Restaurant Week on January 11th. The week-long celebration of kosher cuisine will run through January 17th.

This year, Kosher Restaurant Week will feature 24 restaurants — topping last year’s total of 20 — from across Brooklyn, from Crown Heights to Borough Park to Marine Park.

As part of Kosher Restaurant Week, certain participating eateries will offer fixed menus at a fixed price, while others will provide patrons with a complimentary glass of wine, appetizer or dessert.

“Brooklyn has some of the finest kosher food in the world, so it only makes sense that it has its own restaurant week,” said Carlo A. Scissura, President & CEO of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. “Food brings cultures together, and this festival will introduce kosher cuisine to people of all ethnicities from across Brooklyn. I can’t wait to visit some of these restaurants, and I encourage all Brooklynites to do the same. L’chaim!”

“Great Kosher Restaurants Magazine is proud to be coordinating Kosher Restaurant Week with the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce,” said Elan Kornblum, President & Publisher of Great Kosher Restaurants Magazine. “Brooklyn kosher restaurants are locally owned and have that true Brooklyn spirit. We hope that customers will come out and support them.”

“Kosher Restaurant Week will put all the terrific Kosher culinary options in Brooklyn on full display, and I look forward to patronizing as many restaurants as I can,” said Gil Cygler, owner of Allcar Rent A Car. “I want to thank the entire Brooklyn Chamber, particularly Carlo Scissura and Avi Leshes, for assisting businesses across all religious and ethnic communities and uniting Brooklyn under the Chamber umbrella.”

In 1974, Andrew Colaruotolo (Mr. C), an immigrant from Gaeta, Italy, founded Casa Larga Vineyards as a hobby, seeking to create wines reminiscent of those produced by his family’s vineyard in Italy. The first three wines were produced in 1978, and earned gold and silver medals in the first competition they entered. Casa Larga continues this tradition of excellence to this day – producing high-quality, award-winning wines, while acting as a driving force in the evolution, growth, promotion and recognition of the Finger Lakes wine region.

Casa Larga produces red and white table wines, Champagne and Ice Wine. The winery produces three lines of wines, classified under the names Casa Larga, Fiori and Vineyard Hill. Casa Larga’s Fiori line, created in the mid-1990s, is reserved for only the highest quality wines, produced through traditional methods, including the French Methode Champenoise and the German Eiswein process.

The vineyards at Casa Larga occupy 45 acres of land, located atop one of the highest points in the Finger Lakes region, where they grow two varietal classes: the European Vinifera and French-American Hybrids. Particular varieties of wines produced include Chardonnay, Viognier, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Muscat D’Ottonel, Pinot Grigio, Vidal, DeChaunac, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Casa Larga is proud to have won over 600 awards in major competitions.

Ice Wines are Casa Larga’s star products. The Fiori Vidal Ice Wine is the most awarded ice wine in the United States. It has received some of the highest recognitions in the wine industry, including the “Governors Cup” for “Best Wine in New York State.” In 2010, the wine won “Best Dessert Wine” at the International Riverside Wine Competition, Double Gold and “Best Dessert Wine at the New York Wine & Food Classic, Gold and “Best of Class” at the Pacific Rim International Wine Competition and a Gold Medal from the Beverage Tasting Institute.

Casa Larga features a wine shop and tasting room that is open daily except for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. Hours vary by season.

In 2004, Mr. C. passed away and was succeeded by his wife Ann, who assumed the role of Casa Larga Vineyard’s President. His son John assists as winemaker. His daughter Mary Jo manages the Finance Department and his daughter Andrea is the Director of Operations.

From August 27th through September 3rd, the dessert was featured on North End Grill’s menu as an exclusive item, and the proceeds along with donations are going directly to A Free Bird, as well as the Pediatric Cancer Foundation and Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of New York Presbyterian.

This event was a great accomplishment! On Monday, August 27^th, actor and film producer, Leonardo DiCaprio, was at the North End Grill and generously donated to A Free Bird’s cause. Our sponsors included Best Buy, Vivendi Corp., Power Ice, Dasha Wellness and Spa, and In2Website.  16th Avenue Home Center and The Peppermill Inc. donated cookware for Nicole, and Home Cooking New York donated cooking classes for the aspiring chef. When asked about the opportunity to work with the skilled Chef Cardoz, Nicole said, “The experience I had was in fact amazing…This opportunity was one in a million. It’s every child’s dream to meet and collaborate with people who they believe that they might become when they’re older. In this case this was a dream of mine, to get a sneak peek look at what goes on in a professional kitchen.”

Nicole was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was 7 years old. Now 17, she is cancer free and dreams of being a pastry chef. She has even showcased her cooking and baking skills at events for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation and impressed her supporters with her talent and passion for cooking. A Free Bird is very happy that we had the opportunity to help Nicole pursue her goal and we look forward to helping many more young artists.
