A one woman show, Claudia Purita works day in and day out to produce delicious, certified sustainable, and quality-driven wines at her Southold based winery. As both owner and winemaker, Purita impressively brings her old world roots of growing up on her family's farm in Italy to this new world region. This month, our very own Nate Mendelson visited One Woman Winery and had the pleasure of speaking to both Claudia and her daughter Gabriella. Check it out here to see how one woman's passion and dedication impacted the North Fork wine scene.
Just six miles down the road from us in Peconic lies Raphael, a winery that strives to produce ripe, fruit driven wines that show depth, elegance, and balance through sustainable farming practices. With each vintage their wines showcase the flavors, character, and terroir influence of the North Fork. Last week, our very own Nate Mendelson had the chance to sit down with Anthony Nappa to discuss his winemaking philosophy and experience at Raphael. Check it out here!
