Morning Ya'll, Well, Lady Summer is in full effect showing us all why we love Long Island so much! Sometimes during the Winter it can be tough here on Long Island, but then Spring rolls around. Soon after Spring we have our beautiful Long Island Summers. We are in the midst of one of those beautiful and very seductive summers right now. Many things are ahead of schedule this year including the vines. Jim and guys have been trying to keep up with all of this wonderful weather we have been having.
In the recorded history of the wine industry on Long Island this is the earliest we have seen flowering and fruit set. There are many activities that are being completed all at once in the vineyard. We are suckering, mowing, raising wires, hedging, and starting to remove leaves all at once. In a typical year we would be conducting two to three operations at once. Does this mean we are going to be picking earlier this year? Well, the jury is still out on that one... We will just have to wait and see...
I received some very good news yesterday. It seems at the NYS Fair Commercial Wine Competition we received several medals. We received Double Gold for the 2008 Viognier, Gold for the 2009 Riesling, and Silver medals for the 2009 So Vin Yon Blonk, 2009 Gewurztraminer, 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2007 Five-O Red. The wine club members this quarter received a knockout selection of wines with all three of their wines receiving medals! To see the results for yourself check out this link:

Our wine club event last week was a huge success. It was great to see everyone and share our latest offerings! Two of the three wines are not even available in the tasting room yet! Yet another great reason to be a member of the wine club. Lastly, we will be heading off with Captain Bob this weekend into the Sunset. Sunset Sails will be this weekend. It will be a great opportunity to see the North Fork and all its splendor from the Long Island Sound. It will be 1.5-2hour cruise aboard the Captain Bob V in Mattituck. Some light food will be available and with each sail we will have some wines that are library or not in release just yet... I hope to see you on one of the sails this Summer. Check out the website for more information!!! Cheers Ya'll, Juan.
