Just one week later and we can’t stop thinking about the delicious food pairings at our Long Island Wine Country 50th Anniversary Grand Celebration!⁣ ⁣ Food stations were strategically positioned throughout the event so that restaurants and purveyors could create dishes to pair with the specific wine styles of Long Island, such as lobster rolls, freshly shucked raw oysters, and summer succotash alongside mineral-forward white wines, sustainably-farmed caviar with sparkling wines, and local grass-fed beef with robust reds.⁣ ⁣ A huge thank you to all our local restaurants and purveyors:⁣ ⁣ @amanorestaurant, @alurerestaurant, @briermerefarms, @blueduckbakerycafe, @braunseafood, @brauns_kitchen, @centercuts_mattituck, @cooperageinn, @nofopotpies, @eastend.hospitality, @elevenmadisonhome, @thefriskyoyster, @gfifoods, @jedediahhawkinsinn, @just, @lovelanekitchen, @northforkchips, @northforktable, @pawpawnorthfork, @southoldsocial, @sterlingcaviar, @thatchislandoysters, @wickhams_fruit_farm⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #50YearsLIWC #WineEnthusiast #CheersTo50Years #LongIslandWineCountry #FineWine #GourmetCuisine #liwine #discoverlongisland #longisland #wine #northfork #northforker #southfork #hamptons #winemaking #winetour #northforklongisland #newyork #nywine #newyorkwine #boldlyny #winecountry #winenthusiast #sommelier #winecellar #winetour #drinklocal

On August 19th we hosted the Long Island Wine Country 50th Anniversary Grand Celebration!⁣ ⁣ Over 750 wine enthusiasts, industry professionals, and media gathered to taste wines from 35 Long Island producers paired with bites prepared by over 20 top culinary talents from the region.⁣ ⁣ Guests at the event sampled over 135 wines—including rare library vintages, limited-edition magnums, top award winners from past years, and even the original Hargrave wines from the region’s first plantings—in a unique walk-around tasting format, grouping wines by style.⁣ ⁣ “Our aim was to showcase the various wine styles—from traditional method sparkling wine and pét-nats all the way to full-bodied red wines with remarkable structure, depth, and ageability—alongside the incredible foods cultivated on both the North and South Forks of Long Island, with dishes specially crafted to complement each wine style,” said Kareem Massoud, Winemaker at Paumanok and Palmer Vineyards, and President of Long Island Wine Country. “This is Long Island’s unique selling proposition: a wide range of varieties, unique blends, and styles offer an opportunity for every palate.”⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #50YearsLIWC #WineEnthusiast #CheersTo50Years #LongIslandWineCountry #FineWine #GourmetCuisine #liwine #discoverlongisland #longisland #wine #northfork #northforker #southfork #hamptons #winemaking #winetour #northforklongisland #newyork #nywine #newyorkwine #boldlyny #winecountry #winenthusiast #sommelier #winecellar #winetour #drinklocal

We are so excited to taste Raphael along with 135 other great Long Island wines at our 50th Anniversary Grand Celebration tomorrow!⁣ ⁣ @raphaelwine the winemaking philosophy is based on an understanding of the cycle of nature, the climate and soil, the ripeness of the grapes and the success of time-honored techniques.⁣ ⁣ Our mission is to produce ripe, fruit-driven wines that exhibit a marriage of depth, finesse, elegance, and balance – the flavors of the North Fork – provided first by the terroir and secondly, by the dedicated, impassioned attention of our winemaking team.⁣ ⁣ The winery was designed by John Petrocelli who was inspired by the Italian monasteries of his ancestral home. Our production facility blends classic Mediterranean architecture with modern winemaking equipment. By building the winery 12 feet underground we are not only able to make our wines using a gentle gravity-flow method, but were able to construct a very energy efficient building using the earth’s natural 55F temperature to cool the winery in the summer and warm it in the winter.⁣ ⁣ Throughout the seasons, the devoted vineyard staff carries out the rigorous work of caring for the vines. Our vineyard manager Stephen Mudd, is dedicated to sustainable agriculture, safeguarding the quality of the wine and raising it to its utmost perfection. Stephen brings over 30 years of experience in managing vineyards and is considered one of the pioneers of Long Island grape growing. Most of the work is done by hand, year-round; from pruning to leaf pulling. The ancient practice of fruit thinning is carried out during the summer and fall. Approximately half of our crop is sacrificed every year to insure that the remaining fruit will reach the ultimate peak of ripeness.⁣ ⁣ Raphael is one of the few wine estates in the United States that harvest entirely by hand. Work carries on until the carefully chosen moment-when the harvest starts and the grapes are gathered by hand in the traditional and time-honored way. Nothing but the best fruit makes it into our wine.
