Wine Tasting at Croteaux

Lettie’s place in Southold is right across the street from Croteaux Vineyard. How convenient!

The outdoor sitting area for the tasting room is drop-dead gorgeous. It’s like you’re somewhere in the South of France. Except you’re right across the street from Lettie’s house.

It’s hard to see, but hanging in the archway of that barn are a bunch of glass bottles… a natural wind chime. Beautiful.

Here’s owner Michael Croteau, walking us through the tasting:

An adorable bike.

We bought a case. We drank the stills already. But we’re saving the bubblies for a special occasion!
