Description

Floral Terranes, a project by Erik Longibardi and Benford Lepley,  is less of a winery than an art project aching to understand Long Island. Erik who has never formally studied winemaking, who taught himself by reading and drinking. The cellar is a single-car garage just off a busy road. Cars slow down to peek at the barrels inside, ten barrels and a few dozen glass demijohns, filled with snapshots of Long Island. If the garage door is closed, there’s no way to tell that this historic property is home to one of Long Island’s most exciting projects.
