The
Nassau County Coalition Against Domestic Violence presented its tenth annual
"Taste of Long Island”, on Monday January 26,
2009, at the Carltun in Eisenhower Park. This
premier tasting event, which is sponsored by the Cavit Collection and Palm Bay Imports
provided attendees an outstanding variety of tastings.

Karma (above) serving their famous karma cups in an imaginative variety of flavors such as
peanut butter and jelly and s'mores.
More than 40 of Long Island’s best restaurants, caterers, wineries, breweries, bakers
and confectioners contributed to the evening’s enjoyment with great food, wine and
music. Several new Long Island restaurants
joined the many regular participants, so the sampling opportunities were outstanding.

& Gorgonzola Fondue.
