His mission combined inventive, passionate cooking with local ingredients, and the daring concept of a wine list with exclusively New York regional wines--this achievement resulted in Wine Enthusiast naming Turback's "one of the wine-friendliest restaurants in America," and the restaurant was awarded "Best American Wine List" by Restaurant Business. Michael is also the author of Cocktails at Dinner, ReMixology, and What a Swell Party It Was, all from Skyhorse Publishing. He resides in Ithaca, New York.
