Local Wineries Voices Are Heard on the New Classic Wines Minute Videos

Chester, PA - Classic Wines takes their video show on the road to explore local wine regions, wineries and their facilities on the east coast. Much attention is given to California as a wine producing region in the US, but tourists are now turning their attention to local wine producing regions that are just a drive away for afternoon excursions and tastings. This season begins with videos touring the wineries of Long Island, New York and interviewing the people making this region a success.

The premiere episode of the new “The Classic Wines Minute” features Louisa Hargrave, the co-founder of the Long Island wine industry and a sought after wine expert, writer and consultant. “Classic Wines is going local, bringing intimate views of distinctive wine growing regions. It was my personal pleasure to introduce their team to some of my favorite wine producers on Long Island, where I planted the first wine grapes in 1973.” These were the words expressed by Louisa following our tour of Long Island, where she is often referred to as the “founding mother.”

In September 2007, ComScore reported that 75 percent of Internet users in the United States watch an average of three hours of online video a month. The average video duration watched was 2.7 minutes. The new “Classic Wines Minute” video series releases new videos weekly with an average duration of 3 minutes – perfect for the web video viewer looking to learn and explore wine regions across the nation. With the advent of direct shipping and ever changing legislature, ClassicWines.com utilizes their online presence to provide an ever expansive listing of wine information – including video, wine pricing, wine articles and more!

Why explore local wine regions such as New York through “The Classic Wines Minute” videos? Louisa says it best –“Long Island wines have energy, aroma, and nuanced flavors, due to a microclimate conditioned by the same Atlantic currents that affect Bordeaux.”
