Long Island, New York wineries

Jun 01, 2005 1 Replies

I will be visiting New York, from California, in a couple of months and have a day or to to check out wineries on Long Island. I've been told there are about 30 of them and would like some help sorting out the 5 to 10 most worthy of a visit. A friend, who used to run sales for a California Foothills winery, has told me there are some really very good wines to be found among these wineries. Leads please?? Thanks.



The best LI wines I've had were from Macari.

I haven't had, but Paumanok Vineyards has very strong rep.

The owners at Old Field (Ros and Chris Baiz) are friends of mine. Until recently they were unusual in making a good Pinot, but ask if they still have the '97 Pinot Reserve.

I've had good wines from Lenz, but spottier. Spottier still is Pelligrini.

HTH!
