Northfork Long Island
 

Hi Everyone...The husband and I are going to Greenport in July. Any recommendations for B&B's and also wineries in Northfork area. Thank you so much. Lori

Google Northfork LI and you can get the names of the wineries. They are all along the road in almost the same place. I am just not remembering names tonight ( ever)..
Go to Orient Point, just drive around :) I tried to buy a beach house there a couple of years ago .. sigh.
Have fun!

Thanks Scarlett...I have done some surfing and am overloaded with the amount of wineries in the area. I am a bit particular with wines and prefer good reds. Since we only have limited time, I wanted to try to narrow it down a little. I heard great things about Paumanok, Castello di Borghese Winery and a few others. Just wanted to get some feedback. Thank you again. Lori

I will go tap into my husbands memory and see if he had a favorite. ((D))

Hi Loriv,

The North fork wineries are not really known for their red wines, but Lenz does have a really good Merlot, but it is pricey.

Jamesport has a unique and delicious Sauvignon blanc, as did Macari.

Cabernet Franc is decent at a few of the North fork places.

Enjoy

Back again:)
The places he remembers ( but was "not impressed" with) were :
Lenz
Osprey
and Pindar
Hope this helps ~

Thanks so much for your reply. I was afraid of Northfork not being known for their reds, but with the leads maybe we can get to taste some good ones. Cheers

Scarlett...thanks, I'll keep searching.

I like the Pindar tour the best (next to Lenz) and enjoy the $)Mythology$) (Bordeaux blend):x((D)), which is next to the Lenz winery that has respectable Gewurtzraminer. Pugliese vineyards has a selection of wines in beautifully ((F))handpainted bottles. (Link:<font color="blue"> www.nywine.com/nygold/competition.asp?cmp=111&amp;yr=2004</font>)
:S-

There are a zillion B&amp;B's out that way - I know, I scoped out most of them when planning my wedding out there. ;) Some of my relatives had a good experience at Stirling House Bed &amp; Breakfast in Greenport. Bartlet House B&amp;B also looks nice. If you're into wines, there's the Vintage Bed &amp; Breakfast in nearby Cutchogue. It's a wine-themed B&amp;B and the building was built just for that purpose.

About the wines...my husband thinks the Pindar wines taste like gasoline. ;) However, their tasting room is fun, and they have a few cats. My favorite winery is probably Palmer, which is up the North Road a bit, in Riverhead. They have a nice cabernet, as I recall, and a very nice reisling.

Keep in mind when driving out there that there are 2 roads, the Main Road and the North Road. They join in Greenport. There are wineries on both of them. There are a bunch of ways to get from one to the other; the shortest is Love Lane in Mattituck.

Let me know if there's anything else you want to know about the area. My mom has had a place out there for a few years now, so I'm pretty familiar with it!

Thanks John &amp; Sunny...Have either of you been to the Paumanok or Castello di Borghese Winery? I read some good things about them. Also interested in the Morning Glory B&amp;B. Sunny if you have info on that one. Thank you so much. Lori
