Summer on the north fork of Long Island is all about the the rich, the Hamptons, and of course wine tasting. One of my favorite places to relax this summer was Martha Clara Vineyards. An inexpensive tasting menu and fields of sunflowers, grapes and peaches make it a perfect for a glass or to of cold Glacier’s End.
Well I’m new to the world of wine and I’m always looking to learn and share my wine experiences with other people as well. I’ve been tasting and drinking wines for almost a year now and here are some of my favorites. Note: $50 a bottle wine experts can go else where. This page is for us who are just starting out and like to drink wine more than we like to pay for it…
Jacobs Creek – Shiraz (Australia)
Davinci – Chianti (Italy)
Yellowtail – Shiraz (Australia)
Beringer Pinot Grigio – (California) Cheap and good for cooking.
Many Wine stores offer tastings. Dont be afraid to go. All wine is not created eqaul. The more you try the more you will see how much they are different from type to type and estate.
