What's New on Shelter Island and Long Island's North Fork This Summer
"Over in Laurel, EV&EM Vineyards opened last spring with a sleek tasting room played up by a welcoming fireplace, a lounge-like tasting deck, an additional second-floor tasting deck overlooking the 40-acre property, and a cellar tasting room. The vineyard, now owned by news journalist and avid wine collector Dan Abrams, underwent a complete renovation that incorporates its dedication to sustainability, from the reclaimed wood used in the decor to the herbicide-free, biodiverse methods used in the grape-growing process. The inviting atmosphere, along with tours, a wine club, and private tastings, offers an elevated experience for both the novice and the enthusiast to talk about wine—and learn about winemaking."
