Discovering Long Island Sauvignon Blanc at Paumanok Vineyard

Topic: Paumanok Vineyard discovers the value of noble rot

Classic Wines visits Paumanok Vineyard in Long Island to taste their 2005 Sauvignon Blanc Late Harvest wine. Second generation winemaker, Kareem Massoud, tells us of the history behind this refreshing Sauvignon Blanc.

In an intriguing twist of winemaking fate, the Massoud family was forced to deal with an outbreak of noble rot. After much deliberation and anxiety, Kareem and his parents turned this potential disaster into one of their finest dry wines. This Sauvignon Blanc is such a success, they have trouble keeping it on the shelves.

Looking at the curve of the lip, I would assume they are general white wine glasses, but could be wrong.

Can anyone tell if those are white wine glasses or just general tasting glasses? I'm trying to hone my stemware knowledge.

Very nice looking tasting room. I wouldn't mind visiting there during an LI tour.

A shame it's sold out! Excellent story though, winemaking is an unpredictable undertaking.

Noble rot doesn't taste like it sounds at all. I love sweet wines. I could imagine your dad's astonishment as to "what the hell is this" growing on his graps in '85 :)
