There are certain wine regions which simply stand out and become names and identities unto themselves. Bordeaux. Tuscany. The Champagne region in France is so renowned and revered one not dare call even the tastiest of sparkling wines “champagne” within wine circles if they don’t want a sharp rebuke and correction that only those from the region can technically be called as such. Over on this side of the Atlantic, we have a tendency to laud Napa wines, and for good reason. But with that said, they aren’t the only quality American wines being made today.
Enter Long Island wines. While they might elicit a snicker and snort from the most Napa and Eurocentric wine snobs at first, with an open mind and adventurous palate, you’ll find that there’s a lot of character to wines made in this region.
Long Island Whites
One of the leading producers of white wine along the Eastern Coast of the United States, Long Island white wines have come a long way. Whether your palate tends towards sweeter dessert options, crisp dry offerings perfect for a long summer’s day, or lighter, fruity offerings perfect for sipping while relaxing as you watch the waves batter against the coast, you’re sure to meet with a Long Island offering which meets your expectations.
Long Island Merlot
White wines are more commonly associated with the Long Island region, rather than their red counterparts. Nevertheless, there are a variety of red Long Island wines from which to choose as well, not the least of which being some of the finest merlots on the East Coast. The climate here is perfect for growing the kind of grapes which make for a full-bodied merlot, making these offerings especially delightful.
