McCall Wines

“McCall Wines in Cutchogue, Long Island, is a hidden gem that promises an exceptional experience for wine enthusiasts, especially those who appreciate dry, robust reds. Specializing in expressive, full-bodied wines, McCall's focus is on crafting elegant, flavorful offerings that highlight the unique terroir of the North Fork. During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of enjoying a glass of their 2015 *Ben's Blend*—a stunning wine that perfectly embodies McCall's dedication to quality. This blend delivers a beautifully dry and acidic profile, with a complex structure that evolves on the palate. Rich, layered notes of dark fruit, tobacco, and a subtle earthiness create a harmonious balance that will satisfy even the most discerning red wine lover. It’s the kind of wine that lingers long after the last sip, inviting you to savor its depth. The winery itself offers a serene, inviting environment. With its picturesque vineyard setting, rustic charm, and knowledgeable staff, McCall’s provides an ideal backdrop for a relaxed and intimate tasting experience. Whether you’re a local or visiting Long Island’s wine country, McCall Wines is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates dry, expressive red wines. Their *Ben's Blend* alone is worth the trip, and I would highly recommend it to any lover of bold, acidic wines.”

“On Thursday and Fridays from 4-8pm they host hamburger 🍔 night. The hamburger is from their own grass fed non certified cow. The meat is a combination and is Carolais beef. I didn't know what to expect! When I was explaining to Ruth, our server, that I wanted my hamburger with no pink, she explained that the meat is not like a typical beef burger. The hamburger would not be red and runny if I ordered it Medium. They are made two ways - medium or well. I ordered Medium. It was perfect! Got French fries🍟too. Decided to order the home made chocolate chip cookies too. Got a bottle of Rose 🍷. All was absolutely perfect ! The atmosphere is just so relaxed. They do hamburger night until October. I will definitely do it again !”

“McCall Wines has a very laid back tasting room that is essentially an old barn amidst their vines. There is a large lawn area with picnic tables as they also have events. These include music festivals, wine dinners, and the day we were there, they were having burger night which seems very popular since they said it had sold out a number of weeks before. As one of the oldest wineries, very polished and well made wines. We really enjoyed our tasting and highly recommend doing here. They know their stuff here!”

“Review pre covid: Bottom line: beautiful grounds. Flavorful wines. Gluten line: my wife thanks God daily that wine is gluten free. No available GF snacks though. Long line: stopped here shortly and enjoyed the suggested sampling. Normal price for the area. Wines were on par with region and well balanced. We enjoyed ourselves but didn't feel compelled to buy a bottle to go. To be fair, this was just the first stop in a tour. Would go back if in the area and recommend a stop.”

“McCall Winery offers a rustic, cabin-meets-stable vibe with a charmingly old-school feel. The space is quite small, with limited seating both indoors and outdoors, which adds to its intimate atmosphere. I tried a wine flight during my visit, but unfortunately, none of the wines stood out to me. Overall, it was an okay experience.”
