Exploring the wines of Long Island
Which wine region will you be visiting this fall? Why not discover the wines of Long Island? Since wine tends to ship as the temperatures cool, this fall represents the first shipping window when the wines of Long Island can reach states such as Illinois and California thanks to the recent legal changes. The proximity to New York City makes the area accessible for a weekend trip.
Lenn Thompson, who writes from Long Island about the wines of New York, will help us put the wines of Long Island on our radar screen this fall. Lenn will be contributing three stories about the wines of Long Island and I’ve filed the stories under travel since Lenn tackles the wines and wineries by wine routes. But for those who can’t travel to the area, the stories are also useful references for getting to know the wineries of Long Island, now more widely available.
So check out the first story, where Lenn takes us down The Great Route 48.

It’s true that fall is one of the best times to visit Long Island and take a wine tour. It’s when the grapes are harvested, which makes for an extra special experience.
