—Eric Asimov – New York Times.
By now most everyone should have had their wine arrive. Thanks to all of you for your support and patience as we made our way through that deluge of orders (during harvest no less!)!
We are going to keep the online store open until October 28th, with the last shipments going out by October 31st. So if you’d like to stock up for the holidays now would be a good time as we don’t imagine we’ll be up and selling again until late Spring 2017.
So with that and the last of the grapes having been picked, the time has come for Southold Farm + Cellar to say goodbye to its current home, the place where it all started and begin the transition to its new home in Texas. We don’t want to get too maudlin, but we are going to miss this place and the people who have been a part of our little winery’s journey. We are better having had this opportunity here, even if it was only for a short time, and we wouldn’t change any of it, because as the old saying goes: things happen for a reason. So we leave with no regrets and our hearts full of excitement for what is to come.
However, read this late appreciation of Regan’s wines from none other than Jane Anson of Decanter Magazine: Decanter, Nov. 18, 2016
Update 19 August 2017: The Meadors are now settled in Fredericksburg, Texas, in the heart of the Hill Wine Country. They still have leftover inventory of their 2016 Long Island wines. Their new wine study is to open in a few weeks.
As of 10 September 2018 the winery is now producing its own Texas wines.
