Can you think of a better way to spend a weekend evening than sipping your favorite wine while listening to live music? The many wineries and vineyards across Long Island make for great live music venues. Wineries are often considered peaceful places where you can relax and enjoy the company of friends, so it's not surprising many host live entertainment as well. Our real estate agents are here again with a list of five top Long Island wineries with regular live performances.

The pairing of wine and cheese has been practiced for centuries—in France, of course, but also in Britain. In both countries, it was recognized that cheese just seemed to bring out the best of the wine, and vice versa.
Turns out, it's all about chemistry. The astringency of wine is caused by a substance known as tannins, the acidity of which makes your mouth pucker. Cheese, on the other hand, is creamy and fatty and coats your mouth. Your mouth reacts pleasurably to the creamy coating at first, but then needs the wine to cut through it, cleansing your palate. Wine and cheese truly do complement each, causing you to crave the opposite whenever you consume one or the other.

National Wine Day is May 25. Our real estate agents are here with seven wineries throughout Long Island that we think that you will love.
