Wine Recommendation
Peconic Bay Winery
2004 Steel Fermented Chardonnay(North Fork of Long Island)
Peconic Bay — If you're from Long Island, you've had the famous scallops — but have you had the wines?
Winemaker Greg Gove crafts a wide range of wines — from unquestionably sweet, entry-level wines to simple, good-value blends, to vintage-dependant quality reds, to some of the best locally made aromatic whites.
If dry, focused wines are your cup of tea (or wine) try Gove's 2004 Steel Fermented Chardonnay. Before you tell me you don't like Chardonnay — just try this one. Reared completely in stainless steel tanks, this wine is a pure, unadulterated expression of the Chardonnay grape. Lemony-fresh on the nose with hints of tangerine zest, the palate features terrific, bright acidity balanced with soft citrus fruit flavors and a clean, appetite-whetting finish.
At $13 this is one of Long Island's best wine values – and one that belongs right next to those Peconic Bay scallops.
