Long Island Wine Lineup in Saveur

Innocent of turkey on this Thanksgiving 2012, struck down by some insidious version of the flu, I consoled myself by flipping through the November Saveur and came across an article written by Betsy Andrew called 37 Great American Wines, subtitled, Nowadays, our favorite bottles don't only come from the West Coast. The 37 featured wines came from the Viriginia Mountains, the Texas Hills and Plains, the New York Finger Lakes and Long Island, New York. And there among the bevy of wines, was Paumanok's 2011 Chenin Blanc!

This is really well deserved recognition of the wineries and some stellar wines being made on the East Coast and Texas. Congratulations to Charles Massoud and his family and all of our vino-oenophile friends on Long Island!
