When you get an opportunity you should find much to like at Black Ankle. They’re a young vineyard, but I think there is tremendous potential. As to other MD wineries, Sugarloaf and Basignani are decent, and at most other MD wineries you’ll find a few gems amongst much dross.

Your experience at Paumonok sounds like good fun, I’ve been meaning to get up to Long Island to do some tasting, but I haven’t been out that way since I finished up at Stony Brook in 19**.
