We had a great experience at Kontacosta Winery. From start to finish, everything just hit right…read more We started with a red wine flight, which was a perfect way to get a feel for what they offer. Every pour was solid, and it made it easy to narrow down what we liked. Our server/bartender JR was fantastic--super knowledgeable, easygoing, and made great recommendations without being pushy. We ended up going with a bottle of Merlot they suggested, and it was excellent. Smooth, well-balanced, and exactly what we were hoping for after the tasting. Honestly, just a fantastic wine. And I we also got a whiskey that sampled great. Exited to have it! Between the quality of the wine and the service, it made for a really enjoyable experience. It was on the beach and we loved checking out. But the main area was super cool! Definitely a super cool Albany spot we'll be back to.

There are many other places like that on the North Fork, just follow the traffic. DO come here if you know about wine, want to LEARN about wine, want to drink well-crafted wine and enjoy a quieter, more civilized and intimate setting. Peconic Cellar Door occupies the space that formerly housed Provisions and Ingredients and shoulders up to Winemaker Studio. It's a small space but seems airy. White dominates and custom made tables allow for various configurations; You can get a few bistro-like four tops or join them for one, longer communal table. There is, of course, a bar. It's very tidy. But where this place shines is with their wines and the interaction with the winemakers. This afternoon, we had the pleasure of chatting with Robin, co-owner of Peconic Cellar Door and winemaker of Salt Bird Cellars wines. As the actual wine-maker, she was able to give us a deeper appreciation of the entire process and of the wine itself. We also shot the breeze about craft beer, Australian hops, the "agri-culture" Down Under and the hideous traffic this time of year. Try getting THAT kind of interaction at one of the gigantic vineyards! What's also great is that, since they abut Winemaker Studio, you can really get a tremendous scope of Long Island wines in this one, tiny joint. Hang out, have some great wine and talk to the winemakers, then slip next door for even more tasty goodness. Stop by. You won't be disappointed.

What an amazing experience... Five stars is just not enough... Wolffer Estate Vineyard was the…read moreperfect winery for my wife and me. It is also a perfect winery for larger groups as they have an indoor and outdoor tasting area. This place is just beautiful. We sat on the porch looking out over the vineyard like we were in the Alexander Valley. Honestly, we have done the North Fork trail more but will now be a SOFO family as well. Helene and I both enjoy a good Chardonnay and "Wolffer's Pearl" is great, A chard with tremendous body and depth. We had the honor of being on a European Wine Cruise with the wine maker. Roman Roth [and his wife]. He had multiple wine dinners where we had an opportunity to try some of these new red and white wines and really took a liking to them. We joined their wine club as soon as we returned home so we'll have more to enjoy during the year. Let me be honest... I have been drinking and collecting Roman Roth wines for years now and have always enjoyed them. The team that took care of us was amazing. Nothing but smiles and service. We were very lucky to have the opportunity to experience this wonderful visit. The only downside is that the drive from mid-island to the Hamptons can get a little long. This was a small price to pay for the wonderful experience we had. KUDOs to the team at Wolffer Estate Vineyard

We were the only ones here right around closing time on a Sunday, but were welcomed in anyway and didn't feel like we were keeping anyone which is always nice. The distillery has plenty of cocktail options to choose from made from their signature liquors. The mango mojito here was refreshing and delicious, with just the right amount of mango puree. After spending the weekend getting soaked by drink prices in the Hamptons I was also happy to discover that prices here were incredibly reasonable. A standard mixed drink is $10, cocktails are around $14. Food here is the same as next door as the two share a parking lot with rotating food trucks -- our bartender let us know that in addition to the Greek food truck they also sometimes have a pizza truck that's apparently super good. Will have to come back!

The live music was great, the service was fast considering all the people there & the atmosphere was so freaking cute. I even got to hangout with some pups! So they are very pet friendly & the pics helped me raise some nice money for a small senior dog rescue group. Only giving 4 stars for now because didn't get to try the food because there were SO many bees everywhere we had to leave. I know it's not their fault but I felt so awful for the bartender she was literally covered in bees I would've died. Then a few started coming after my drink & we had to go haha but we will definitely be back!!
