With such a nice space and an approachable take on wine, Duck Walk is a great option.

They have beautiful outdoor blankets you can use if that North Fork breeze gives you a chill. We didn't need them yesterday as we drank our flights and dined on tuna and crackers. The young lady behind the counter was super sweet and knowledgeable. She let us know that their most popular, White Merlot bottles were sold out. But, still available in cans. I love their Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. My Honey partial to reds, enjoys the Red Blend. He was excited when she informed us that they will soon have a Pinot Noir for him to try! The space, the excellent customer service and of course the wine all combine to make this a little slice of heaven. I absolutely love it here

Service was great, and they left you alone and didn't rush you out like some other vineyards that have time limits.

Wine country is probably the only or at least one of the few things I like about LI. LI beaches are dirty and face side ways so you can't do any "true" surfing there. Many of the towns are clone like. But wine country is unique. I am not going to compare it to California wine country as California wine country is obviously the top in the country. If you type in anything like top wine country in the US only Sonoma and Napa come up. The other wine countries in the US are as follows- West Coast - The majority of American wine production occurs in the states of California, Washington and Oregon. Rocky Mountain Region - Notably Idaho and Colorado Southwestern United States - Notably Texas and New Mexico Midwestern United States - Missouri, Illinois and Minnesota Great Lakes region - Notably Michigan, northern New York and Ohio East Coast of the United States - Notably New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina What makes LI a good wine producing region is Long Island, an island is an island sticking out 100 miles into the Atlantic Ocean, is a maritime region with a unique combination of climate, soil characteristics and growing conditions ideal for quality wine grape production. It's sandy soils and maritime climate have provided long growing seasons and mild winters, which has encouraged the planting of Europe's noble vinifera grapes on almost all acres planted. The first commercial vineyard was planted in Cutchogue on the North Fork of Long Island in 1973. Seventeen acres were planted by Alex and Louisa Hargrave, who are considered to be the founders of Long Island's modern day wine industry. There are 33 licensed wine producers on Long Island: 28 on the North Fork 3 on the South Fork 1 elsewhere in Suffolk County 1 in Nassau County It has been said by many that Long Island is one of the country's most exciting wine producing regions today, with great reviews and high praise found in major food and wine publications nationwide. As the awards continue to accumulate, Long Island wines are increasingly sought after in fine restaurants and wine shops from coast to coast. I would suggest touring wine country in one of the many bus or limousine tours. The reason is there seems to be so many accidents out there. You want to do it in a safe manner. The whole idea of pub crawls started in England and it not a NYC thing at all so I laugh at "hipsters" who want to do pub or bar crawls in the city. They are usually transplants or people from Long Island who don't know any better . A better idea would be to do a tour of the wineries in LI. There are also memberships at most of the wineries and events with music and wine and cheese tasting events. Most of the wine tasting events are about $5.oo per winery. You usually get 4 or 5 tastes for that price. But the wines you get for that price are usually their low end wines and you have to pay a higher price for higher quality wines. Discover why experts are saying "the enchanted East End of Long Island has become one of the world's great vineyard regions." David Rosengarten, Food TV personality, cookbook author and food & wine writer, 2004. My favorite vineyard is Duck Walk. I first discovered Duck Walk wines at one of the finer restaurants in Manhattan. It was either The Four Seasons or Aureole. I do not remember which. But I do know it was one of those restaurants and that is what peaked my interest in Long Island wines. If you live in New York City, Long Island or on the East Coast this is a fun day trip. You can pick up gift wines for friends, clients and family. Every person I have given Long Island wines to has been impressed. I am grateful to the person who was the first to review wine country because although I went and took many pictures as you can tell I do not remember which pictures belong to which wineries that is why they are not labeled. The reason I do not remember which pictures belong to which wineries is obvious. Don't do wine tasting to get drunk. That is idiotic. Wait until you grow up if that is the case. But when you grow up do visit wine country in Long Island.

For those of us who have been to Napa and Sonoma, Long Island Wine Country is a little bit in the…read moreupset side... However, now that I live in New York, I do have to support my 'people'... There is much to be learned by these wineries... from membership and activities, to events to wine making... Sorry, for the last one, but some wineries really made bad wines. I do hope the learning curve is still on the way up and has not reached the 'peak' yet. Lets start with getting there. Route 25/Main Road is a one small, two lane road; which is the same as California. Have lots of patience while driving as people, limos and buses flock in and out of wineries and farms.. this is what makes the traffic very heavy on this tiny road on the weekends. If I have a choice, I would go back on a weekday to avoid the crowds. There are plenty of limo and bus tours you can take, specially if you want to do some tasting hoping and let the driving to someone else. Then you can really enjoying having a little extra wine here and there... and make sure that the bus you are in has a bathroom as we saw one too many limos stopping on the side of the road with people running to go behind the bushes... men and women alike... In addition, on weekends, most of the wineries do have live music and seems that a lot of groups and locals come for a bottle of wine with their own food and picnic baskets. Some of the wineries were full to capacity and we had to skip some due to a lack of parking and tables... darn! And my final comment: The Long Island Wineries need to learn from the California wineries when it comes to attracting and keeping the clientele. Wineries in California have joined forces and created "group memberships" for those who like to visit them frequently where they get free tastings, visits and admission to special events. In exchange, the member is required to buy a bottle a month or more... depending on the type of membership. This also allows the member to bring a guest for a free wine tasting and discount on purchases. California wineries do have other individual memberships that offer the member access to free wine tastings and events. The member is required to buy a case of wine a quarter... it is a win-win marketing scheme that could work for these wineries if they get together and create joint and individual membership plans. Finally, for those staying in hotels around the area, complimentary wine tasting cards should be given, hence bringing more tourism dollars into the state. Much more to be learned... just look "West" for some advice...
