Long Island Wineries

In all the craziness of our trip to NY, my friend Lisa, was able to take us out to the Long Island Wine Country for a few hours.

All of the wineries are really close to eachother, so it's easy to hit a bunch in one day, or in our case, a few hours. I think our livers could only handle 3, especially since the last ones gave us LOTS of wine.

1st, we hit up Paumanok Vineyards. It was crowded, and we couldn't get a word in edgewise to find out more about the winery, but they had a fabulous chardonnay, a nice deck to hang out on and a gorgeous view.

Next, we hit up Clovis Vineyards, which was a little bit smaller, but we got more attention in the tasting room. Again, an excellent chardonnay.

Our last stop was Pellegrini Vineyards. I was little bit drunk by the time we got to this one, and their hefty tasting glasses didn't help. The cool thing about this winery, was that you could choose which wines you wanted to taste, go sit in their beautiful courtyard, and their staff brought out your tasting glasses to you. I wish other wineries would do this.

It was odd to visit 3 different wineries and not hear the words " . . .and THIS is our muscadine wine!"
