LIWINEDAD

  The final stop on our pick-up run for this week was the last-minute add-on at Long Island Spirits Craft Distillery (LIV).   LIV is one of the first distillers to open (Legally) since the late 1800s on Long Island, and in keeping with the long tradition of Potato farming, the first product was Vodka.   The product line has expanded to include a collection of Bourbons, Liqueurs, and Canned Vodka Cocktails .   LIV believes in Farm to Bottle producing sustainably grown beverages.   The tasting room is up a flight of stairs built into the hay loft of an old, refurbished barn with a large balcony overlooking the potato fields (Fig 01).   Today was a restocking pick-up of LIV Vodka , Rough Rider Cask Strength Bourbon , and Rough Rider Straight Bourbon Whiskey Brandy Cask finished (Fig 02).  The tasting room is a tasting room with a long list of flights available (Fig 03) and an impressive Cocktail menu (Fig 04).  The bourbons are all fine sipping bourbons, and multiple revisits will be re

  A new week a new expedition to wine country for a leisurely lunch, and a few quick club pick-ups with detailed posting for each stop to follow shortly (Fig 00).  The first stop was for lunch at an old friend, the Sound Avenue Bistro (Fig 01).   This time we sat outside by a small waterfall and pond, and the food was fantastic as always.   From lunch, it was on to Pellegrini Vineyards to collect the six-pack fall club (Fig 02).    The next winery is Sannino Vineyard for our four-pack club, and of course, we added on a three-pack of spiced wine.   Lastly was a long overdue visit to Long Island Spirits (LIV) to pick up some Vodka and the rough rider bourbon.  Overall, a well-paced 135-mile 5-hour lunch and club pick-up. #longislandwineries #vineyardviews #wineryvibes #liwine #licharacter #longislandwine #northforkwineries #longislandwinery #longislandnorthfork #northforker #discoverlongisland #topwineries #northforkwinetrail #liwinecountry #liwine #lisustainablewinegrowers #nywine
