Winemaker Roman Roth |
A pinnacle of Roth’s career came in April 2003, when he received the award of “winemaker of the Year” presented by the East End Food & Wine Awards (judged by the American Sommelier Society). This reflected the excellence of the wines he produced as winemaker and as a consultant, and was a recognition of his contribution to quality winemaking on Long Island as a whole. Over the years Roth had another dream that was slowly evolving- the creation of his own wine, The Grapes of Roth. The goal was the garagiste philosophy of creating small quantities of hand crafted wines with impeccable character. The focus is on individuality, local character and the highest quality possible. To this end, Roth seeks relationships with the best growers on Long Island and follows the chosen vineyard lots through the growing season with meticulous care, to ensure that only the ripest fruit is harvested. The grapes are hand picked, hand sorted and vinified at Wolffer Estate under his exacting care. The result is a full bodied, luscious and yet elegant wine with character. In July 2006, the first release of the Grapes of Roth came with a bang, receiving 91points for the 2001 Merlot and a 92 point rating for the 2002 Merlot, the highest rating given to NY State wines by David Schildknecht in Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate. 2007 is yet another milestone for Roth. With the addition of a Riesling, Roth has captured perfectly the other New York signature grape. Roth lives with his wife, Dushy, a physician from Australia, and daughter Indira in Sag Harbor, New York. The Grapes of Roth takes its name from Steinbeck’s book which is one of his favorites, and of course as Steinbeck was also a Sag Harbor resident. The family is closely involved in the local wine world, and the Grapes of Roth is truly a grass roots, family business. Indira started with stomping grapes at the age of four months! |
