Peconic Bay Winery - The Long Island Wine Trail

If you can brave the traffic on the Long Island Expressway, then consider a trip to the Long Island Wine trail. Wineries dot the trail so you can easily pop into several wineries. The tastings are not cheap, at about $12 for 3-5 tastes, but the pours are generous and the wines are quite impressive. The view from the wineries are also worth a look. Long Island's wine trail cannot compare to Napa Valley but it makes a nice day trip from New York City. We enjoyed the wine tasting at Peconic Bay Winery, the service, and the atmosphere. They sometimes have live music, so if that's not your thing, plan accordingly. To get there: http://www.peconicbaywinery.com/
