Its grape-growing, grape-buying and experimental cellar work has made Channing Daughters the East End’s most cutting-edge estate. (read more)

Channing Daughters in the Hamptons has rendered what I do not hesitate to call among the most interesting and rewarding white wines grown anywhere in North America.

Christopher Tracy has turned the Bridgehampton cellar in which he makes Channing Daughters whites into a kind of artist’s studio. Even when simple, these dry wines aren’t monochromatic; their complexities suggest the dabs and streaks of colors in Impressionist paintings.

My favorite is the Mosaico, an exotically aromatic, viscous, and complex blend of pinot grigio, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, Tocai Friulano, gewürztraminer, and Muscat. Tracy also bottles single-varietal examples of Tocai Friulano and pinot grigio, both of which may be the best new-world examples I’ve encountered... (read more)

The White wines of Channing Daughters on the South Fork were even more impressive, and even more esoteric… Channing Daughters wines deserve a larger audience. Tracy’s Friulian-style blends (which include Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and Malvasia), and his wonderfully minerally 2006 Tocai Friulano, were some of the best whites I’d tasted from any American winery.

There are few American whites as accomplished as Channing Daughters’ Vino Bianco, a blend of four varietals that Tracy’s been producing since taking over as winemaker at the Bridgehampton vineyards in 2002. It’s one of those wines that pull off the minor miracle of flattering almost anything you care to eat with it… I don't think anybody looks to long Island for white wine, "Paul Grieco, wine guru of N.Y.C.'s Insieme and Hearth restaurants, says. "But that's changing. There are few white-wine makers better than Chris Tracy at Channing Daughters. (read more)

Nowhere can a fuller range of white-wine possibilities be more deliciously or memorably brought home to Long Island visitors than at Channing Daughters in the Hamptons. Inspired by the wines of Friuli, partner Larry Perrine and husband-wife team Christopher Tracy and Allison Dubin bottle a Tocai Friulano (perhaps the only one so-labeled, now that European Community regulations have banned Tocai). Ironically, it resembles Furmint: rich yet bright, and redolent of flowers, smoke, quinine and fresh lime. The pungently smoky, salty, peachy, subtly oily rendition of Pinot Grigio at this address – vinified in stainless steel save for the enhancement of a single new Slovenian hogshead – offers classy complexity behind that prosaic grape name. And then there are the Channing Daughters blends, their Meditazione uniting no fewer than seven grape varieties onto a beverage sufficiently thought-provoking and synergistic to justify its name.
