North Fork of Long Island suggestions?
Posted by Philip, Apr 20.

I'm headed to Long Island with some family members and wanted to visit a few wineries. I've been to the following, so was looking for some new ideas:

Paumanok, Roanoke, Wolffer Estate, Duck Walk

My sister likes sweeter, fruitier wines. I like everything. Any suggestions?

thanks

What about the Lang Fund winner?
I think it's Schneider?

Honestly, you've been to many of the best... and more than me. I've heard very good things about Martha Clara, Channing Daughters, Bedell, and Lenz.

Oh sorry, sweeter fruitier wines...then maybe you want to avoid any of the serious places with critical acclaim.

Schneider Vineyards - what is a technology development fund doing developing in a winery?

Sounds like a modern-day Columbia B-School version of old boy networking...

Would love to here about the wineries you particularly like on your upcoming visit, Philip. I'm often asked about wineries to visit, even in NY...

I also liked Clovis Point - probably 1/2 mile or so west of Duck Walk on the North Fork.

Pindar has some decent Long Island wine. Crisp and fruity.

Phillip,
Sorry to resurrect this old tread. I am going to the North Fork for two days next week and I was wondering if you could recommend any must visit places. What did you think of Lenz?

Hi, Rocket15 - I strongly recommend a visit to Duck Walk - my favorite on Long Island - I do at least one visit a year and usually come home with a case or two. And everyone I've ever taken to the North Fork has rated Duck Walk as one of their top two wineries.
