What’s Special – Baiting Hollow Farm Horse Rescue
“More than just great wine”
Sam and Rhoda Rubin built Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard starting in 1961. Sam began farming several beautiful acres of farmland while acquiring adjacent parcels as they became available. Next was planting grapevines that would produce many varietals of high-quality wine. An 1861 renovated farmhouse became the Tasting House. A top-notch team was hired to oversee and supervise wine making & production as well as vineyard management. Today Richard Rubin, Sam’s son, is the CEO. Steve Levine and Sharon Rubin-Levine round out the team that maintains the vision and spirit of the Founder.

What’s Special – The Portfolio
This may say it all . . . “Great wine, inspirational wine, is about time, place, and story. It is a document of the weather, the land, and the people who made the wine. We expect the wine to tell you something about us, and the passion behind the wine. But the truth is that if the wine doesn’t have the ability to tell you something about yourself, then we’ve failed. For us the wine is more than a companion with dinner; it’s an artistic expression.”
Roanoke Cellars
Roanoke Vineyards is a membership-based vineyard, there is no cost, just a promise to receive four wine portfolios annually. A quick perusal of The Portfolio selection of wines had a hypnotic effect on me, I just wanted them all. Membership does have many privileges in this case, it very much feels like a “Wine Country Club!”
- Club Benefits – Members make their own wine called “The Hill.” There are canoe and kayak outings that rely on a few “Big Reds” to assure comfort and warmth. Wine and Food-focused evenings. A private tasting room at the vineyard with a fireplace that is perfect for cold winter evenings.
- Roanoke wines are often in short supply so, I would suggest we all become members of the club!
- Love Lane Wine Shop or ‘The Coolest Wine Shop on Long Island.” No membership required. You can also buy wines from Channing Daughters, Wolffer Estate and Brooklyn’s Red Hook Estate. They will even do a small wine tasting.
- I always say that the people matter most. Considering the “Faces in the Crowd” it is so very true at Roanoke.
- The lead winemaker is our old friend Roman Roth – it’s no wonder everything is absolutely delicious!
- Member of the LI Sustainable Wines Group. ‘At Roanoke Vineyards, we take our obligation to the future seriously.”
- Scott Sandell of Deepwater Projects designed an outstanding collection of labels.
Wine Trail Traveler says Roanoke “specializes in big reds and exceptional hospitality.” Sounds like a winner to us on all counts. Maybe they need a boutique hotel on property. . . your thoughts?
Roanoke Tasting
- 2015 Gabby’s Cabernet Franc is the Founders Signature Red, it embodies Silk, Romance, and Elegance. A very limited availability of this grape from Pisacano’s ‘Twelve Rows’ Block’ is drinkable proof of Gabby’s philosophy that one should ‘work hard for things that are important’ Apparently Gabby’s Cabernet Franc is important and limited so hurry!
- 2015 Striking Distance with only 70 cases available is a shining star in Roanoke Vineyards 18 year history and solid proof that Cabernet Sauvignon can achieve legendary status on Long Island. James Suckling: 95 points! “A seriously elegant cabernet sauvignon that proves this grape is capable of greatness on Long Island, given the right vintage and an uncompromising commitment to quality. Stunning concentration and seamless balance through the very long, poised finish. Drink or hold.”
- The Grapes of Roanoke – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc and Merlot blend Rose, Petit Verdot

What’s Special – One of the oldest Vineyards on the East End
In 1983 Robert Palmer, better known as Bob, had a vision. He purchased a rolling parcel of farmland on the North Fork of LI and cultivated his vineyard. One of the North Fork’s original wineries, Palmer Vineyards has established itself as one of the best-known East End estate wineries. Throughout the years, the vineyard and its wines have received many accolades. This reflects Bob’s pledge of quality and excellence. “I have to set the standards high,” says Bob, “my name is on every bottle.” The seaside climate and soils of Long Island’s North Fork provide exceptional conditions for the production of world-class varietal wines. Palmer Vineyards is an estate winery meaning, they grow, harvest, crush the fruit, ferment the juice and bottle the wines. Palmer strives to preserve and enhance the purity and distinctiveness of each grape variety, which make their wines unique.
