"It's a very nerve-racking time," says Christopher Miller, a wine consultant with a pretty good sales pitch. Miller spoke to contributor Stephanie Krikorian for a story diagnosing the 2025 strain of anxieties in the Hamptons ahead of this weekend's unofficial start to summer. The agita out East in the first year of the Trump 2.0 era can be crushed down to one issue: rosé. Specifically: How much do we have? And can we arrange for more? Krikorian, who's long made an annual sport out of this kind of story, explains why that's both specifically due to the president (tariffs) and generally due to him as well (everything else).
Elsewhere today: If film is more your escape of choice, we've got an exhaustive preview of what the season will bring; if you're still engaging with the written word, the Vanity Fair staff has some recent heaters you might have missed; and if you're into revisiting recent history, special correspondent Joe Hagan checks in on his former cover story subject Beto O'Rourke. More Tuesday… |
As Trump's tariffs hit, Hamptonites are stockpiling the essentials: rosé, rosé, and rosé. It's the subject of group chats. Residents are calling Italy direct. Why? "It's the toilet paper of March 2025," one Hamptonite tells Stephanie Krikorian. |

In 2019, special correspondent Joe Hagan profiled Texas politician Beto O'Rourke, who, despite a losing 2018 Senate bid, was pondering a presidential run. O'Rourke came in for some mockery after the resulting cover. Hagan again interviewed O'Rourke this week and writes that he's been rather decent throughout it all.
"A year after our cover story, I texted O'Rourke to ask for another interview—and to see if there were sore feelings from the fallout of his VF profile (which included the quote 'Man, I'm just born to be in it' over a portrait by Annie Leibovitz)," Hagan says. "He replied that he blamed only himself and held no grudge whatsoever. Pretty menschy for a politician in this day and age." |
