An Award-Winning Winery and Grass-Fed Hamburger Extravaganza

Celebrate summertime with a festive evening featuring the award-winning McCall Wines and the locally sourced flavors of First and South restaurant for a perfectly paired taste of the North Fork in New York City.

Indulge in burgers made with McCall’s own grass-fed Charolais beef topped with McCall’s grass-fed Irish cheddar, served alongside First and South’s famous French fries with a variety of house-made dipping sauces. First and South has also created a line-up of sumptuous seafood, seasonal sides, and accompaniments that showcase the bounty of summer products from the North Fork region.

The evening will offer a distinct taste of Long Island’s wine country by thoughtfully pairing each course with a wine from McCall, a vineyard, winery, and cattle farm committed to regenerative agriculture farming practices and sustainable viticulture.
