After our visit to the DUMBO flea market we took a quick ride to the Brooklyn Navy Yard to try out Rooftop Reds, a small little vineyard/winery on the top of one of the buildings in the yard. It took a while to get through security with our apparently confusing reservation, and finding the entrance to the building was a bit dicey (but kinda appropriate). After walking up the five flights of stairs we found ourselves on the delightful rooftop of building #275 in this tremendous industrial Navy Yard.
We met the owner (he had to be all of 20 years old) and his delightful wine wench, Clara, who couldn’t be more lovely. The wines were delicious, the ambiance was better. A little corn hole, a little hammock swinging and the view of Brooklyn, lower Manhattan and the adorable vineyard surrounded us. So, we’ve decided to rent the house out to the kids and spend a year living in Brooklyn. You MUST come visit!
