North Fork Wineries grape vine

~

We took a car ride out to the North Fork Wineries and made a few stops to sample some Long Island wines.

I volunteered to be the designated driver so I kept busy by photographing the grape vines and scenery.

A few vines still had their dark red/purple grapes.

Luckily hurricane Irene did not spoil the grapes although you could see the salt water damage on the grape leaves.

It was a beautiful day for a drive and it always amazes me at the vast areas of agricultural land still there on the east end.

East End, Long Island

Still much agriculture here on the east end....farms and wineries without residential housing.
