Heard Through the Grape Vine: D'Latte Vineyards?

I've heard an unconfirmed rumor from a couple different unnamed sources that the owner of D'Latte Uncorked, an upscale deli/wine bar in Greenport, is planning to plant a vineyard on the North Fork with tight row spacing, build a winery on the premises and use a local winemaker as a consultant.

Does anyone know anything about this?

I'm going to call the deli when I get home tonight, but I'm wondering if any of my "insider" readers have heard anything about this endeavor.

Either way, check back soon for more information--I hope.

I had such a bad experience in there once with one of the managers (may have been owner, I hope not) that I've never been back.

That said, certainly not surprising that any successful local business owner would consider a winery. I hope they have lots of access to capital, though. :)

i have also had several bad experiences there. seems like a general lack of communication amongst staff behind the counter. and a lack of customer comes first mentality. but darn, the gelato's just so darn good i always go back for more.

I think that whoever had a bad experience there had to be on that person's own merit. the owners are the people behind the counter, and they have been there every day since they opened three years ago. everything there is just wonderful, most especially the help.
