The wine harvest is underway at vineyards all over the North Fork. For months, vineyard managers and winemakers have been working around the clock to tend to the vines—and obsessing over the weather forecast.
This growing season marked an important milestone for Jacqui and Greg Goodale: their first as the owners of Terra Vite Winery & Vineyard on Manor Lane in Jamesport.
