Another fun outing Miss eBid Coney Island reminds me of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, just a few miles from where I live. I wonder if you might end up visiting there after ydc 123 ......

Oh, I'm sure Miss eBid would like Blackpool Pleasure Beach. She really had fun at Coney Island!

Greetings from Long Island Wine Country,

One of the most renowned attractions on New York's Long Island is the vast expanse of vineyards, simply known as Long Island Wine Country. Just a few hours east of Manhattan, Long Island Wine Country has long been recognized as a premier destination for wine tasting.



My visit out east to the vineyards was a memorable experience. In addition to wine tasting, there were tours of the vineyards and wine making facilities, delicious food paired with my tasting choices, and live entertainment. Long Island Wine Country is a unique piece of Long Island culture and heritage that I couldn't help but enjoy more with each glass of wine.

With just 3,000 acres under cultivation, the focus in Long Island is on quality, not quantity. East End viticulturists personally tend their vines throughout the long growing season to yield grapes of the highest quality. The local winemakers are true artisans. It is no surprise that Long Island wines receive high praise from some of the wine industry's best known critics and awards in many competitions held around the United States.



Since the first vineyards were planted in 1973, the Long Island wine region has continued to grow. Today there are some 40 licensed wineries currently operating on Long Island, producing 500,000+ cases of premium wine from over 20 classic grape varieties. There wasn't time to try them all, but I did my best to sample as many as I could. My favorite wines were from the Pellegrini Vineyards.



Located in Cutchogue, the sunniest town in New York State, with climate and annual rainfall parallel to Bordeaux, France, they are graced with a 220 day growing season.

I'm off to recover a bit before our next outing.

TTFN
