BJ Gamboa stopped into the Peconic Cellar Door last weekend while touring tiny tasting rooms on the North Fork. After a fantastic conversation he had this to say about our new home base.

"The new home of Robin Epperson-McCarthy (Saltbird Cellars) and Alie Shaper (As If Wines, Brooklyn Oenology), Peconic Cellar Door occupies the space that formerly housed Provisions and Ingredients (a specialty market offering things like squid ink pasta and custom panini sandwiches).

Custom tables allow for couples or a few groups of four or may be combined into one long table for a more communal tasting experience.

Bonus feature: Robin or Alie are usually on hand to talk wine. Well-trained and passionate servers are excellent. Speaking directly to the winemakers? Priceless. Peconic Cellar Door, 2885 Peconic Lane, Peconic.

Bonus BONUS feature: you can walk straight through a shared doorway to The Winemaker Studio right next door!"
