I’ve long been a fan of Shinn Estate Vineyards, not only because of their wines but also because of their dedication to sustainable farming and push towards near-complete organic viticulture.
Today on Appellation America, you can find an interview that I conducted recently with co-owner David Page. We touch on a wide range of topics, including their new estate winery, new winemaker, organic and biodynamic farming techniques, the Long Island Merlot Alliance and their push for highly aromatic wines.
Read the interview and let me know what you think.
And, please let me know if there are any members of the New York wine community that you are particularly interested in hearing from.
interesting stuff. i really admire their determination to realize a sustainable wine making practice -not easy to do. it seems to be just as much a part of what motivates them as does making lovely wine. i ate at home the other night and plan to post a review soon. my mistake: i ordered a different merlot, not the 2004 shinn estate.
really enjoyable conversation.
Have a happy and safe New Year!
All the best,
Dan
