Biscotti Bliss: Elevating Your North Fork Wine Experience!

Hey Biscotti Connoisseurs,

We’re about to embark on a flavorful journey that seamlessly blends the rustic charm of North Fork with the exquisite world of biscotti and fine wines. Nestled in the heart of Long Island’s Wine Country, this region is a haven for those who appreciate the art of crafting beverages with locally grown ingredients. With over 60 vineyards, breweries, and distilleries, North Fork is a testament to the rich tapestry of flavors that emerge from this bountiful land.

Culinary Symphony Unfolds

As the harvest season graces the vineyards, North Fork transforms into a culinary spectacle. This is where our perfectly paired biscotti meet the finest wines, creating a symphony of taste. From the briny embrace of Oysters to the succulent Peconic Bay Scallops, every sip of wine takes on a new depth when coupled with our artisanal biscotti.

For those seeking natural beauty, Lavender by the Bay offers a sensory feast with fields of lavender, while the North Fork Potato Chip farm presents picturesque sunflower fields. And, of course, no autumn adventure would be complete without a visit to Harbes Family Farm. Here, pumpkin and apple picking becomes a joyful dance with seasonal activities.

Seafaring Meets Sipping

The allure of the maritime world awaits explorers. Wander along the rugged shores of the Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay, or set sail on a fishing charter for a day of high-seas adventure. Shelter Island, accessible via the North Ferry in Greenport, adds an extra layer of charm to the North Fork. Getting here is a breeze whether you choose to hop aboard the Long Island Rail Road for a car-free journey, fly into Long Island MacArthur Airport, or set sail with the Cross Sound Ferry from New London, Connecticut.

The Perfect Pairing: Biscotti and Wine

Now, let’s delve into the heart of our adventure – the art of pairing biscotti with North Fork wines!

First on the list, Chocolate Almond Biscotti with Jason’s Vineyard “Dessert Wine”
Our Chocolate Almond Biscotti is a luxurious treat, generously studded with Belgian Chocolate Chunks and premium California almonds. This decadent delight finds its dance partner in Jason’s Vineyard “Dessert Wine.” Aged in neutral oak barrels for a minimum of two years, this true Port wine boasts rich notes of dried fruits, black cherries, and raisins. With an alcohol content of 19.5%, it promises a sumptuous experience for the senses.

Next, Anise Biscotti with Pugliese Vineyards “Late Harvest Riesling”
The delightful essence of anise seeds and vanilla in our Anise Biscotti finds a harmonious counterpart in “Pugliese Vineyards” Late Harvest Riesling. This combination offers a journey through honey and peach flavors leading to a crescendo of honeysuckle and floral notes. These beautifully mesh with mouth-filling, well-balanced varietal fruit flavors that linger on the palate. It’s the ideal accompaniment to peach and berry desserts, creating an enchanting duet for your palate.

This is a MUST try! Fig, Walnut, and Bittersweet Chocolate Biscotti with Raphael Wine “FL SAUVIGNON BLANC”
Hand-cut mission figs, bittersweet Belgian chocolate, and roasted walnuts, complemented by a hint of orange zest and anise extract, form our Fig, Walnut, and Bittersweet Chocolate Biscotti. This masterpiece finds its match in Raphael Wine’s “FL SAUVIGNON BLANC.” With partial skin contact and cold fermentation in stainless steel, this dry wine unveils a bright floral nose of citrus fruit. Its crisp notes of pineapple, grapefruit, and lemongrass, coupled with a full body and a long, dry, acidic finish, create a splendidly balanced sensory experience.

We invite you to uncork a bottle and let these biscotti serenades elevate your wine-tasting adventures. Cheers to delightful pairings and wonderful moments!
