VISIT A TRUE LOCAL WINE ENTHUSIAST DURING
THIS YEARS 2026 LONG ISLAND WINE WEEK

We would be hard pressed to find a restaurateur that has as many Long Island wines on their restaurant wine lists as Chef Tom Schaudel. Not to mention, to find such a celebrated chef and restaurateur with as much passion about Long Island wines. You see, Tom has been quite the advocate for our local wine region. Most recently, we dubbed him Long Island wines biggest cheerleader. That sentiment is visible in his wine list that starts off with an introduction about local wine where he proclaims "I love, love, love , Long Island wine." That's not just lip service, the wine list is as informative as it is thorough.

Tom tells the story, "As winemakers from other parts of the world flocked here to see what was happening, information was shared, knowledge was gained, the technology improved, and the wine evolved. He makes the unabashed proclamation "We have world class wines being made right here in our own backyard." Be sure to visit one of Chef Tom Schaudel's renowned restaurants, listed below, for a fabulous meal you can pair with a great Long Island wine.
