Wine and Sunset Make for Charming Combo on Long Island

Harout Chatmajian entertained the guests in the bus, and at the event, with his comedic talent.

During the evening’s festivities, Misk was surprised with a birthday cake.

The guests enjoyed the beautiful weather while tasting award-winning wines,  dining on delicious food, dessert,  and then finally raffling off numerous donated gifts. The evening became even more enchanting when a full harvest moon graced the vineyards.

The nine lush acres of vineyard, in the heart of the North Fork, is owned by the Misk family. Nasrallah Misk of Queens purchased the land in 2000, when it was a potato farm. He, however, had a passion for wine and winemaking, and thus he turned the potato farm into a vineyard. Today his son Mark, and Dina Misk help run the business. The year 2004 was the first commercial vintage for the winery, and winemaker John Leo has been at the helm since its inception. The winery has won many prestigious awards for its 2004 Chardonnay, 2004 Merlot, 2007 Cabernet Franc, 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2011 Chardonnay (gold medal), and many more.

Aside from its numerous awards, on June 17, Clovis Point Vineyard and Winery was named to CBS’s “5 Best Long Island Wineries List.”

As this evening came to a close, many guests were commenting that they enjoyed this event immensely and looked forward to participating again next year.
