 Welcome
...to Long Island
Wine Country®
Spring has finally arrived,
bringing welcome warmth,
bright daffodils and a bumper
crop of newly released wines.
In this issue wine whiz Tracy
Kamens gives us a preview of
the delights awaiting you at the
wineries — many from the amaz-
ing 2010 vintage — followed
by a whole raft of winemakers’
tasting notes. All you have to do
is get out there and taste. It’s a
hard job, I know, but somebody’s
got to do it — it might as well be
you!
As always, between these cov-
ers you’ll find the latest news
from the wineries, fabulous
places to eat and lots of exciting
events. In fact, everything you
need to enjoy your visit is in your
hands.

Notice our new look? We’ve
gone to a different format, with a
perfect-bound edge and thicker,
matt-finish paper. We hope
you’ll agree that this is a change
for the better. There are other
big changes afoot, too. Starting
with this issue, we’re ramping up
our coverage of local food, with
more recipes and wine-pairing
recommendations from the re-
gion’s finest restaurants.
We hope you enjoy our spring
2011 issue with its bold new look.
See you at the wineries!
Cheers!

Greetings
Long Island
from the
Wine Council
S pring gives me time to
reflect on the past year,
as well as to look forward
to the season ahead. The
Long Island wine region has had
one its best vintages to date (2010).
As I write this, the whites are in the
bottle and hitting the shelves of your
local liquor stores. The reds are ag-
ing in the barrel and can be tasted
at many Long Island wineries during
the month of April. It’s a great way
to go behind the scenes and meet
winemakers and owners. Visit
LIWines.com for details.
I’m happy to see that winter is
finally a thing of the past — and
what a winter it was! We had
record snow falls for the first half,
while the second half saw record
attendance at Winterfest, a six-week
jazz series at wineries and hotels.
Winterfest has turned into a suc-
cessful event for our local economy
and plans are already under way
for next year.
On May 5, the Long Island Wine
Council will be celebrating its fifth
year at Brooklyn Uncorked, a great
event that takes L.I. wines to Brook-
lyn and pairs them with mouth-
watering morsels from local restau-
rants. Also in May, you can join us
for “Run for the Rosés,” when the
new rosés are unveiled and paired
with foods from local restaurants
at an event in Greenport. Look for
details on Facebook as well as our
newly redesigned website, LIWines.
com, to be launched in May.
To kick off the summer, we will
host the second annual Wine &
Food Festival. Where else can you
can taste wines from top producers
and sample tasty treats from great
L.I. restaurants? The festival takes
place June 12 at Martha Clara Vine-
yards. It was well attended last year
and tickets sold out early. Don’t
wait too long to get yours!
Yes, there are many exciting
events to look forward to in Long
Island Wine Country, but bigger
than that is all that’s done to make
those events possible — anticipat-
ing the weather, tending the vines,
bottling the vintages, connecting
in the tasting rooms, meeting new
friends and visiting old ones. Each
is completely different from the
next, but one thing is constant and
that is the people who love the
Long Island wine region.
This is a very special place to
me. The community I live in was
built on agriculture and by the ef-
forts of hard-working individuals.
Our community has many great
attributes — the land, the water
and the people who make this such
an amazing place to live. We look
at our bucolic surroundings and
think this can’t change, but can it?
As I look back at the last 30 years,
there has been much change. Land
once devoted to potatoes has given
way to vineyards; our industry has
grown to over 50 producers; locally
grown food and wine are appearing
on many restaurant menus; shell-
fisheries are thriving and producing
some of the finest seafood. Looking
forward, I see a thriving agricul-
tural community, working together
toward a common goal of protect-
ing our farming heritage. Having a
partnership with our local business
owners is imperative in keeping the
Long Island wine region thriving.
When you’re visiting us, take
time to enjoy yourself. Slow down,
savor the experience and really
look at the surroundings. Appreci-
ate the here and now. The North
and South forks are indeed unique
areas that have much to offer.

 Ahh,Spring!
Long Island’s new
crop of wines arrives
By Tracy Ellen Kamens
Spring is a time to cel-
ebrate new life and new
beginnings, so it’s fitting that
many wines crafted from
the 2010 harvest are mak-
ing their debut this season,
along with a number of
other wines that have been
slumbering in the cellar. This
new crop includes an array
of whites, rosés and reds that
pair well with spring’s palette
of fresh flavors.
Onabay Vineyards’ new-
est release is the 2007 Night
Heron. Chiara Anderson
Edmands, Onabay’s direc-
tor of marketing, calls this
their best quality red wine,
produced from the vaunted
Entav clone. Differing from
its 2006 predecessor, which
included small amounts of
Cabernet Franc and Syrah,
the warmer conditions of
2007 enabled Onabay to
produce a 100% Merlot
wine. Chiara notes that Night
Heron is a wine that “always
shocks people because of
the quality,” and suggests
that “it’s on par with some of
Right: Onabay the finest wines produced in
Vineyards 2007 Bordeaux and a great value.”
Night Heron
Merlot While not a new release,
Far right: Marcari Onabay’s 2007 Unwooded
Vineyards 2008 Chardonnay is a great wine
Cabernet Franc for spring. Inspired by the

6 • Long Island • spring 2011

crisp acidity and fresh fruit
of Chablis, this wine sees
no wood, but does spend
time on the lees, adding to
the wine’s texture. With its
vibrant acidity, it pairs well
with citrus-accented dishes
and shellfish.
Macari Vineyards’ tast-
ing room welcomed the
release of its 2008 Cabernet
Franc and 2008 Dos Aguas.
Winemaker Kelly Urbanik
said that, while 2008 was
a difficult vintage in the
vineyard, these wines have
beautiful balance. As the
second Meritage-style blend
in Macari’s collection, Dos
Aguas (70% Merlot, 17%
Cabernet Sauvignon, 8%
Malbec, 4% Cabernet Franc
and 1% Petit Verdot) pres-
ents with soft tannins and
high acidity, although Kelly
emphasizes that this is “not
a wimpy wine.” Serve it with
hearty poultry or lighter
meat dishes.
From the 2010 vintage,
Macari’s Riesling, Rosé and
Sauvignon Blanc will soon be
available. The Finger Lakes
Riesling shows classic aromas
of petrol, honeysuckle and
peachy stone fruit. On the
palate, it’s dry and citrusy,
with nice acidity. Represen-

Sauvignon and 6% Malbec)
is a big wine with tons of
strawberry, cherry and melon
10 • Long Island • spring 2011
aromas with a hint of straw-
berry cream, while the palate
has lots of red fruit flavors and
a bit of tannic grip.
Shinn Estate Vineyards’
2010 lineup includes Coales-
cence, First Fruit Sauvignon
Blanc, Chardonnay and Rosé.
This year’s Coalescence, a
blend of Chardonnay, Sau-
vignon Blanc, white Merlot
and white Pinot Noir, has a
much higher proportion of
red grapes than in prior years.
This shift, coupled with the
riper vintage, resulted in a
wine with a richer, fuller body,
good texture and strawberry
and raspberry fruit character
that permit it to pair well
with meaty fishes and poultry
dishes. In contrast, the Sauvi-
gnon Blanc is much brighter
and acidic, making it a good
foil for fresh scallops.
Shinn Estate is offering two
new wines: an estate-grown
Pinot Blanc and an orange-
colored wine. The latter is
100% Chardonnay that was
fermented on its skins for
three to four weeks, imbu-
ing the wine with an orange
hue. It was produced from the
cooler 2009 vintage, taking
advantage of a “perfect storm”
of sufficient ripeness, high
aromatics and limited alcohol
to develop a wine with good
structure and tannins, while
still exhibiting vibrant acidity
and noticeable fruit. Shinn’s
2008 reds are also ready for
release.
Shinn’s winemaker, An-
thony Nappa, who also has
his own eponymous wine
label, will release a 2010
Finger Lakes Riesling and
2010 Anomaly, a white wine
produced from 100% Pinot
Noir. Anthony’s debuts include
a Gewurztraminer and “a
very small amount” of 2009
hard, sparkling apple cider.
Anthony asserts that the
Gewurztraminer is truly a food
wine, with its full body and
lychee and spice notes that
match well with spicy food,
stinky cheeses and fresh fruit.
Channing Daughters has
a number of newly released
wines as well, including its
age worthy 2008 L’Enfant
Sauvage. This aptly named
“wild child” Chardonnay is
produced with ambient (wild)
yeasts and is barrel aged for
18 months, with long lees
contact. Other recent releases
include 2010 Mudd Vineyard
Sauvignon Blanc, with grapes
from Steve Mudd’s 1975
vineyard in Southold; and
2010 Mudd West Vineyard
Sauvignon Blanc, with grapes
from the 2005 Mudd vineyard
in Aquebogue. Produced the
same way, the wines differ
in site and vine age, with the
former producing a wine that
is plumper, more delicate and
restrained, showing tree fruit,
white stone fruit, apple, peach
and some citrus, while the
latter is a more classic Sauvi-
gnon Blanc with pronounced
citrus, cut grass, and white
grapefruit.
Also fresh for spring is
Channing Daughters’ 2010
rosé lineup: Rosato di Merlot,
Rosato di Cabernet Franc,
Rosato di Cabernet Sauvignon
and Rosato di Refosco. Due
to the quality of the 2010
vintage, winemaker Christo-
pher Tracy describes these
rosés as beautifully ripe and
particularly expressive, with and game birds. scribes the wine as being very above left:

juicy fruit and a nice, natural
acid balance.
Channing’s 2009 Due Uve,
a blend of 72% Syrah and
28% Merlot, is also ready for
release. Meant to be a “slightly
rustic” wine for everyday
drinking, the wine exhibits
notes of raspberry, blueberry
and lots of black peppercorns
with soft, silky tannins. It pairs
well with meaty fish, poultry
This month Bedell Cellars
will launch Taste Rosé 2010,
the newest in its “Taste” family
of wines, whose labels feature
Barbara Kruger’s striking art-
work. This new rosé coincides
with winemaker Rich Olsen-
Harbich’s arrival at Bedell. As
a blend (62% Merlot, 27%
Cabernet Franc, 7% Syrah and
4% Petit Verdot), it marks a de-
parture from the past. Rich de-

Mexican cuisines.
Bedell’s 2009 Taste Red will
be ready soon, too. Despite
the “challenging weather” that
plagued that vintage, Rich notes
that the wine is really quite
elegant. He attributes this to the
region’s experience and, more
specifically, his vineyard team’s
ability to produce high-quality
wines in more demanding vin-
tages, saying that they can “play
these vineyards like a musical
instrument,” knowing when to
drop fruit and when to let it
hang, to ensure that it ripens
well.
Rich characterized the
weather of 2010 as “picture
perfect” and says these were
wines that were “just so much
fun” to produce, since there was
no tinkering required. In late
spring, Bedell will offer its 2010
Gewurztraminer, produced from
some of the oldest vines in the
region, which Rich describes
as “explosively aromatic.” The

vineyards at Bedell and its sister
site, Corey Creek, the 2010 is

Rich, with stone-fruit aromas and
flavors that pair well with creamy
cheeses and intensely spiced
dishes.

be releasing its new Ascent
Gentilwine this spring.
Patric American Handcrafted
Chocolate came to Osprey’s

yummy tasting demonstra-
tion with the winery’s wines.
Zander Hargrave has
been promoted to assis-
tant winemaker at Peconic
Bay Winery. Son of Louisa
and Alex, founders of Long
Island’s first commercial win-
ery in 1973, he will work di-
rectly under head winemaker
Greg Gove. Zander has spent
time filling a wide variety of
roles in the vineyard and cel-
lar including heading up the
winery’s new hard cider pro-
gram. Michelle Rebentisch
has been promoted to retail
operations manager and will
continue to act as tasting
room manager, and Laura
Hoch has been named music
director at Peconic Bay. An
international touring artist
and singer/songwriter, Laura
is a member of the band The
Secondhands.
behind the wine
Edward Lovass has been
hired as assistant winemaker
at Pindar Vineyards. A re-
tired marine, Edward comes

This past fall and winter,
Sherwood House Vine-
yards welcomed three new
additions to their family.
Jersey is a 2-year-old Golden
Retriever; Roxy is a 1-year-
old Labradoodle and Mimi
is a 4-month-old Golden
Retriever-Husky mix. All three
can be found running around
the dog-friendly vineyard.

The Lenz Winery wel-
comes Jerol Rickard as its
new tasting room manager.
A native of California’s Bay
Area, Jerol spent a lot of
his free time exploring the
wineries of Napa. He was
project manager for a market
research company before re-
locating to the East Coast in
2010, when he discovered a
new wine region to love and
was snapped up by Lenz.
Lenz was the only Long
Island winery pouring at a
hospitality trade event on the
floor of the New York Stock
Exchange in February.

9 December Edition
Wine Spectator

”Pellegrini... leads the way among Long Island Producers,

particularly with reds.” Three 90 point scores!

90 Pellegrini Reserve North Fork of Long Island 2005

Smooth and solid, this polished red delivers ripe black cherry and
plum flavors, with accents of chocolate, tar and mint. Not heavy,
but well-structured, with balance and grace. Merlot, Cabernet
Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. — T.M.

90 Pellegrini Chardonay North Fork of Long Island

Vintner’s Pride 2007 This rich white shows lavish oak flavors
of vanilla and toast, but there’s enough ripe pear and pineapple
fruit for balance, and firm acidity provides structure. A full-blown
style, but still lively. — T.M.

90 Pellegrini Vintner’s Pride Finale Bin 1333 North

Fork of Long Island NV This honeyed white bursts with
flavors of vanilla, rose petal, dried apricot and pineapple that
caress the palate and linger on the finish. Lively acidity keeps it
all balanced. Gewüztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc. — T.M.

– and all that Jazz!
The hottest ticket on the North Fork this
winter was the fourth annual “Winterfest: Jazz on
the Vine” concert series. Presented by the Long
Island Wine Council and East End Arts Council
under the able leadership of LIWC executive
director Steve Bate and president Ron Goerler
Jr. and EEAC executive director Patricia Sny-
der, Winterfest drew about 6,000 jazz-loving,
winter-defying souls to 40 concerts at par-
ticipating wineries and hotels during February
and March. “Winterfest Warm-Up” events drew
ever-increasing crowds to the Hilton Garden Inn
on Friday nights, and Riverhead’s snazzy new
Hotel Indigo was the lively scene of “Live at the
Indigo” on Saturday nights. “Inside the Outside
of Jazz” discussions were held at Brecknock Hall
in Greenport, Southampton Cultural Center and
Riverhead’s historic Vail-Leavitt Music Hall.
This year’s jazzed-up crowds have raised
the hopes of all concerned for an even better
Winterfest in 2012, when half the revenue from
this year’s ticket sales will go toward funding the
ever-popular event. 4

The historic L.I. East Hampton estate of Jackie O's aunt and cousin
has been immortalized in the '76 Maysles documentary,
in the '06 Broadway musical and in the '09 HBO movie with

whose art is featured in this exhibition:
• Lois Wright (author and artist of “My Life at Grey Gardens”)
• Mym Tuma (sothebys.com)
• Frank Latorre (artandsoul-gallery.com)
• Irra Verbitsky (MOMA)
• A.F. Wargo (andrew@blacktiemagazine.com)
• Don Duga (Polestar Films and Associated Arts)
• Richard LaRovere (cityofjerseycity.org/larovereprint.shtml)
Music
A.F. Wargo, pianist, Wednesdays at lunch,
will perform classics from The Great American Songbook.
Kristofer Ambrose, singer/songwriter, will perform monthly
from his new album and his famous "Esperanza" (Hope Song),
written for the Chilean miners. Find him on iTunes and Facebook.

Scrimshaw Restaurant
Greenport
Chef Rosa Ross uses a
dry Long Island Riesling for
the sauce that enlivens this
delicious salmon recipe.
Although there are a number
of steps to this dish, it’s well
worth the effort. Rosa uses
an all-butter pastry, but says
the readily available Pep-
peridge Farm Frozen Puff
Pastry works well.
Napoleon of Salmon with
Riesling Sauce and Dilled
Cucumbers
Serves 6
For the pastry:
1 package Pepperidge Farm
Puff Pastry
1 egg beaten with 1 T. cold
water to make an egg wash
Defrost the pastry per
package directions. Preheat
the oven to 375° F. Unfold 1
pastry sheet and lay out on a
lightly floured work surface.
Cut each sheet into 3 along
the fold and then each piece
into 2 to make 6 pieces. Re-
peat with the second sheet
of pastry. You should have
12 rectangular pieces. Prick
each piece of pastry with a
fork and brush with the egg
wash. Bake until the pastry
has risen and turned golden
brown, about 30-40 minutes.
Remove and set aside. Pastry
may be baked in advance
and held in an airtight con-
tainer.
For the sauce:
2 T. minced shallots
1 T. butter
3/4 cup dry riesling, Pauma-
nok or other
2 cups heavy cream
Salt and white pepper, to
taste
1-2 T. minced fresh dill
Melt the butter in a sauce-
pan and sauté the shallots
until wilted. Add the wine,
cook for 5 minutes, then add
the heavy cream. Simmer
over low heat until the sauce
has thickened and is reduced
by half. Season to taste and
add the dill. Set aside. And
keep warm.
For the cabbage:
2 cups shredded Napa cab-
bage
1/2 tsp. fennel seed
Salt and pepper to taste
Long Island
1 cup heavy cream
Combine all ingredients in
a saucepan. Simmer gen-
tly over low heat until the
cream reduces and thickens,
holding together the cooked
cabbage. Set aside and keep
warm.
For the salmon:
2-3 lbs. fillet of salmon, with-
out skin
Olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Slice the salmon on a slant
to a thickness of about 1/2
inch. Make sure you have
6 servings. Place the sliced
salmon on an oiled baking
pan. Sprinkle with salt and
pepper and drizzle with oil.
Roast the salmon in a 350° F
oven until just done, about
3-5 minutes. Do not over-
cook the salmon. Remove
and keep warm.
On one piece of pastry
spread a layer of creamed
cabbage, place a generous
layer of cooked salmon on
top of the cabbage, then top
with the cream sauce. Place
another layer of puff pastry
to form a napoleon. Top with
another spoonful of cream
sauce and garnish with dill
sprigs. If the napoleons have
cooled, they can be reheated
in the oven.
Dilled Cucumbers
2 long, seedless cucumbers
4 T. butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tsp. sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Minced dill
Cut cucumbers in half
lengthwise and slice into half
moon shapes. Heat butter
in a skillet, add cucumber
slices, sprinkle with salt and
pepper and the sugar. Toss
cucumber slices until lightly
cooked, then drizzle with

vinegar and dill and serve.
