Long Island, New York is the United States' most exciting emerging wine region. In an engaging style, the authors present this fascinating story as both a rich history of the region and a succinct guide to all of its established and new wineries. Lucid and authoritative chapters on grape varieties and the making of wine provide readers with the key facts they need to be knowledgeable sippers at the tasting rooms or at dinner parties. The book is profusely illustrated with Sara Matthews's photographs - in color and black and white - which bring the vineyards and this bucolic region to life.

Don't Leave Home Without It,
By Erin Patterson (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wines of Long Island (Paperback)
"The Wines of Long Island" by Beltrami and Palmedo As an occasional visitor to Long Island's East End, I was pleasantly surprised when someone gave me a copy of the second edition of "The Wines of Long Island". Not knowing much about wines, just knowing that I enjoyed drinking them, I was pleased to read a book which not only dealt with the subject at hand but offered a general course on differences between wines. There are finely described sections on each variety. (Did you know that the name merlot comes from merle, the French name for blackbird?) There is a spendid chapter on the history of wine-making on Long Island. We are told why the region has the potential, particularly on the North Fork, to become a great region. Then there are attractive accounts of the wine-makers currently in the business of producing these wines. What made them go in to what can be a difficult life; what do they deal with in producing these wines? While talking about these wineries, the authors make no judgments on the wines, it is up to us to do that. The colorful photographs are also an enticement to anyone to want to visit these wineries. Before a visit, it is my opinion that they should not be without a copy of "The Wines of Long Island".

This review is from: The Wines of Long Island (Paperback)
A marvelous book exploring not only the history of wine making in Long Island but also how it began in this country. It also provides a nice story of the wineries and the people behind the wine. I recently came across the book while visiting a specialty wine shop in New York. I never thought much of New York wine before but after reading the book, it served as an excellent guide this past summer as I visited many of the wineries.Now I wish they did one for New York State. A toast, to the to the Authors and the wines of Long Island.
