Roanoak Vineyard - Always Great to Be Here (NY)

 Richie and Soraya Pisacano started Roanoke in 2000. Rich planted a Chardonnay vineyard with Steve Mudd in 1983, and also grows Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes. Soraya Pisacano is the President is the architect of the business plan. Roanoke's lead winemaker is Roman Roth who has been making wine since 1992 on Long Island's East End. Winemaker Miguel Martin is the driving force behind their white blends. Quite literally, few winemakers in the US can match his aromatics.
