About 2 months ago I left Washington DC for a new job in Long Island NY. To my pleasant surprise I found out that Long Island not only has a lot of great restaurants and wine shops but it also home for a number of wineries producing descent wines. In my opinion, local whites are more interesting. I especially like Savignion Blanc and Riesling.
Raphael's Sauvignion Blanc is made in a Loire Valley style. This particular wine is crisp, mineral and has a whiff of petrol that reminds me Pouilly Fume. I found it very enjoyable. I have to, however, note that it is fruitier than its French analogs
Last weekend I went to the North Fork to visit the wineries. Although the area itself is very pleasant, I can't say that I enjoy an experience at the wineries.. All wineries are charging tasting way more than they should given a value of those wines and level of competency exhibuted by their staff. All in all wine tasting in France and Italy is still much more fun.
