Palm Beach Grill

Palm Beach Grill, in Palm Beach, Florida, part of Hillstone Restaurant Group which owns Houston's restaurants across the USA, serves great dishes with stellar service.The staff is well trained, to the point that it is possible that Rebecca at the bar will greet you by name, even if you have not visited in months. Palm Beach Grill is elegantly unpretentious. Here you will run into friends from The Hamptons, as well as the island's locals, all raving about the great food and atmosphere. Quite possibly the best dining spot on Palm Beach island.

Château d'Yquem

Of all the French sauternes, Chateau d'Yquem is unquestionably the best of the sweet dessert wines. Produced from white grapes consumed of most of their liquid by the fungus butrytis cinerea, or "Noble Rot," this wine is syrupy bliss.
The harvesting of grapes consumed by the Noble Rot is difficult. Juices flow like molasses from the grapes when squeezed, but all the hard work of the vinter are well worth the effort when a bottle is opened at the end of a fine meal.
