New York is the third largest wine producing state in U.S with nine AVA's. The three premium wine regions in New York are Finger Lakes(largest wine production east of Cali), Hudson Valley(known for its premium farm wineries) and Long Island(New York's red wine region). The oldest known active winery is located in Hudson Valley. This winery, called Brotherhood Winery, recorded its first vintage in 1839. I'll actually be visiting this one at the end of June with some friends and I can't wait! Also, the climate of Long Island has 200 days of sunshine per year and a longer season, so its perfect for making Merlot and Bordeaux style wines. Pictured above is Brotherhood's infamous barrel sign..
