Some men go to church and think about fishing.

I’d rather go fishing and wonder about the existence of God.

love the wine you’re with

The Lenz Winery on Long Island’s NorthFork 

was established in 1979. 

The last time I visited was in 1985!

Back then I was designing an UpperEastSide winebar,
so an alcoholic field trip was tax-deductible!

Today the area is known as NoFo (sigh) but Lenz is still making some very good wine.

We tasted their un-oaked, white label Chardonnay because it is fermented in stainless steel tanks instead of oak wine barrels.

It was fruity and fresh and only $15 a bottle. 

Back in 1986 their Chardonnay was $12.45, 

a lot for a bottle over 30 years ago.

But maturing vines yield more grapes for less work, and economy of scale brings the cost of labor down.

The result is a flinty, icey, green-apple varietal good with seafood, great for swilling, fun at parties.

And the old winery looks better than ever!
