This weekend on Hamptons.com my Corks of the Forks column focuses on Waters Crest Winery and winemaker Jim Waters’ 2005 releases.

Jim is one of the friendliest, most charming people on Long Island’s East End and his riesling is usually one of my favorites. As you’ll see, the riesling seemed a bit off when I tasted it (two bottles) but it’s possible that it was still a little bottle shocked. I’ll definitely taste it again this fall — probably at Thanksgiving because I like it with Turkey.
