Sinanation

We have taken the traditional Long Island wine tasting trip again this summer. The first and only wine tasting stop this time was the Roanoke Vineyard in Riverhead, NY. This place produces my favorite local Merlot, the vintage “The Grapes of Roth” and desert wine. From outside Roanoke is the least glittery with not many cars in the parking lot, but it is surely my favorite among all the others. Compared to other vineyards such as Pindar, the smaller tasting room is just big enough to accommodate 8 to 10 tasters at a time. Outside you will find the most comfortable lounge chairs on the grass to enjoy a glass of wine and a platter of cheese. You can also walk around the grape gardens.
