Corey
Creek
Vineyards,
owned
by Michael
Lynne,
is located
in Southold
on Long
Island's
fertile
North
Fork.
The
30 acre
vineyard
is nestled
between
Richmond
and
Corey
Creeks,
two
finger-like
tidal
inlets
which
form
small
pockets
of year-round
temperate
climates.
Corey
Creek
Vineyards
produces
limited
edition
wines
that
gain
their
character
from
this
unique
location.
Fourteen
acres
of
chardonnay
grapes
were
planted
on
the
property
in
1981,
along
with
2
acres
each
of
pinot
noir
and
gewurztraminer.
In
1994,
5
acres
of
merlot
and
2
acres
of
cabernet
franc
were
added.
Wines
currently
in
production
include
chardonnay,
reserve
chardonnay
and
merlot.
Meticulous
management
and
harvesting
techniques
assure
that
the
highest
quality
fruit
goes
into
the
winemaking
process.

About
Our
Label
Our
label
was
designed
by
noted
graphic
designer
Michael
Croteau
at
his
Southold
farm/studio,
and
has
been
a
favorite
of
collectors,
most
notably
Ralph
Lauren.
The
elements
of
the
labels
are
all
indigenous
to
the
North
Fork,
and
the
bottle
is
at
home
both
on
your
city
table
as
well
as
at
the
country
home.
