VinoDuo is Lisa & Gary. Engaged in Sonoma. Honeymooned in Napa. Vacationed in
Temecula (CA), Woodinville (WA), and other off the beaten path wine regions. We’ve married our love of wine with our passion for travel, visiting lesser-known wine regions throughout the United
States. We’ve got strong opinions about the pros and cons of each wine region and this is our forum for airing and sharing them.
Long Island Redux
Five years ago, VinoDuo took its first road trip to the North Fork of Long Island to check out the vineyards popping up where potatoes and onions once grew. We fell in love with the region, bought a case-full of wine, and wrote a lengthy post about our travels.
Fast forward to 2011. With no summer vacation plans, VinoDuo was desperate for a quick get-away. And since most Long Island wineries lack distribution beyond the Empire State (or even their winery, in some cases) we had long run out of North Fork wine. So we hopped in the car, two hours down Rt 95, a quick ferry ride to Orient Point, and we were back on Long Island.
Long story short, we fell back in love with the region (particularly Greenport,) bought two cases of wine, and will...soon...write a lengthy post about our visit. In the meantime, here are some pix and a quick list of must-visit wineries.
