New York City Wine-Wine Discovery: From Potatoes to Parker Points (Long Island Wines)

Between repeated praise in the New York Times and Wine Advocate , the message is clear: Long Island wines have arrived. When the Hargraves planted the first vines in 1973, the bucolic North Fork was primarily home to potato farms. Today, there are numerous vineyards and wineries set within a thriving region of award-winning wines. Join us as we travel through its history and taste a selection of its current wines.
