Bracco On The Hudson, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


Actress Lorraine Bracco seems to have a love of quietly charming homes. Her house in Bridgehampton, which has been pulled off the market had a very cozy look and the same is true of her house in Snedens Landing which we learned was on the market through Braden Keil's column in the New York Post. While not as posh an address as the Hamptons, the town does offer a quick escape from the city. Bracco's home sits on two acres bordered by the Hudson River. The cute cottage has a master bedroom with a fireplace and views of the Hudson River. Other interesting details include a circular stone stairway leading to a terraced garden, a skylit bedroom/sitting area with a fireplace and a large great room which has a deck. The home was built in the 1960s but has an updated kitchen. The Real Estalker reports that Bracco bought the home from Ellen Burstyn back in 1989 and has been trying to sell it for a few years (perhaps because she is saving up for a vineyard). It is listed at $3.2 million. After the jump, a great place to spend a long weekend.

Bonus listing: In researching the area, I found that the Captain Larry Sneden home, a 1780 stone Colonial is also for sale ( it is listed at $3.45 million).

Filed under: Spirits, Wine, Events

Vince Neil, Motley Crue's lead singer, has a new gig. A while back I wrote about his foray into the world of wine. Neil now also has followed in the footsteps of another wild-haired rocker, and launched his own tequila. Neil's tequila is called Tres Rios and he will be appearing at the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival on February 25 to show people how to make the perfect margarita.He will also be part of an auction that includes a case of signed bottles of Vince Neil's Tres Rios Tequila, two first class tickets on Delta Airlines to Las Vegas, a suite at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas and an invitation from Vince to have drinks with him in person at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, dinner at the RIO at Café Martorano and a Vince Neil autographed guitar. Other auction items include the chance to attend Auction Napa Valley as the guest of Beringer Vineyards, a whole host of tempting wine lots, and the chance to have a dinner for 10 with another celeb-turned-winemaker, Lorraine Bracco.
