Wineries and Vineyards
Since the first vineyards were planted in 1973, the Long Island wine region has continued to grow, from 17 vineyards in 1996 to 35+ today. There are some 40 licenced wineries currently operating on Long Island, producing 500,000+ cases of premium wine from over 20 classic vinifera grape varieties.
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. Our local winemakers are true artisans, carefully crafting wines that meet exacting standards for structure and balance.
With this approach, it is no surprise that Long Island wines receive high praise from some of the wine industry's best known critics. In 2006 the region received very favorable reviews in The Wine Spectator, The New York Times and, for the first time, in a comprehensive report in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, rating the region from "Very Good" (85-89) to "Outstanding" (90-95).
The growing media coverage is reinforced by awards won by Long Island wineries in many competitions held around the country. Closer to home, the region's wines consistently stand out at the annual New York Wine and Food Classic competition, capturing over 111 awards, including Best Red, Best Chardonnay, Best Sauvignon Blanc, Best Semisweet Reisling and Best Unifera Red Blend.
The following list lincludes information about the North Fork's award-winning wineries. To learn more about our wine region or to view a map with winery locations, please visit the Long Island Wine Council website at www.liwines.com.

Clovis Point
Named for the sculpted tools found near the vineyard and used by the earliest inhabitants of Long Island's North Fork more than 10,000 years ago, Clovis Point acknowledges its connection to the fertile land here. Planted in 2001 and opened in 2007, Clovis Point is among the newer vineyards on Long Island, but we seek to make wines that, like our namesake implements, pass the test of time.
We have more than 10 acres of merlot, cabernet franc and chardonnay vines under production. We actively combine lots of high-quality fruit to produce distinctive varietal and blended wines of character and balance—not just the typical Merlot or Chardonnay. For example, our double-gold (Appellation America and Finger Lakes International Wine Competition) award-winning 2005 Merlot is 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. Our 2007 Cabernet Franc combines 92% cabernet franc and 8% cabernet sauvignon. And our ever-popular Chardonnays (one stainless steel-fermented and one barrel-aged) both contain a small percentage of gewurztraminer. We make only 2,000 cases of wine each year and, with the goal of being a small, top-flight winery, we intend to keep our production low.
Visit our tasting room—a lovingly renovated 1920s potato barn—and see why we’re so proud of our craft wines.

McCall Wines
"With Long Island's largest vineyard of Pinot Noir, and an equally sized vineyard of Merlot, McCall Wines focuses on crafting low yield, quality driven wines. The vineyards (planted in 1996) and surrounding farm can be found in the town of Cutchogue, where the McCall family has lived for generations. The rustic tasting room, once a barn for potato storage, sits on the property with a welcoming lawn and an authentic pastoral feel.
Committed to quality and sustainability, McCall released his first wines in 2007. Since, they have found their way to critical acclaim. They can be seen on the wine lists of a number of upscale restaurants in NYC and on the East End. In 2010, McCall Wines became the first wind-powered farm in Long Island, blazing the trail for many other local farmers. In the same year, McCall began ranching organic grass-fed cattle, which can be seen grazing in the fields alongside the vineyard."
22600 Main Road, Cutchogue (631) 734-5764 Hours: Th-Mon 12-6
Notable Quotes:
"In the charmingly rustic tasting room, I got to sample some of the wines and I was so impressed that I bought a mixed case, which I enjoyed immensely." -Martha Stewart
"If his regular and reserve pinots made from the splendid 2007 vintage are indicators, he's sitting pretty." -Howard G. Goldberg - NYTimes
"Honesty is a mantra for McCall. It reverberates in the handcrafted ambiance of the farm, with its collection of old tools decorating the barn walls, it's new zero-carbon windmill, and grazing Charolais beef cattle." - Louisa Hargrave, North Fork wine pioneer and industry founder
"I'm only concerned about two things here: land preservation and the quality of the wine. I want people to come here in 1000 years and see the same thing." - Russ McCall
"You can sum me up simply. I'm not going to put our label on it unless it's above average." - Russ McCall
"The star was the sophisticated 2010 Corchaug Estate reserve from McCall Wines in Cutchogue, which specializes in the grape; its combined breadth, depth and length was world-class." Howard G. Goldberg, NYTimes
