Time to return to my true passion - drinking wine! The state of wine in New York hasn't changed much; some Long Island wines from 2010 have won national awards, and of course Long Island was hit by tropical storm Irene. What does that mean for the 2011 vintage? We will ask some of the winemakers out east over the next week and promptly report on their comments. The big worry was salt spray off the bays, and if the leaves on the trees in my neck of the woods in Westhampton are any indication they may be in trouble. You would think it was late October and the leaves sre falling off the trees. I'll be there next weekend to give an update.
In the meantime kudos to Palmer merlots, I've had a few of late and will report shortly. One in particular has a great price quality ratio.
