Our Wine Tasting Expert Says:
Located in Peconic, Pindar Vineyards is Long Island's largest winery, producing 16 varietals (Chardonnay, Syrah, and Merlot, among others) on more than 500 acres of land. Numerous Pindar wines have won medals and awards. The 2005 New York Wine Contest awarded a gold medal to Pindar's 2001 Cabernet Port, and numerous silver medals to various wines including its Pythagoras. Pythagoras, an unusually well calculated blend of five Bordeaux grape varieties, has been getting much attention for its dry, full-bodied flavor, and good tannic structure. Guided tours of the vineyard, cold fermentation room, and oak cellar are available. While tastings are available (six wines for under $5), most tourists are happy to take part in Pindar's complimentary sampling held in the Old World tasting room.
