WELCOME HOME: Pindar Vineyards (www.pindar.net or
631-734-6200) founded in 1979, Long Island’s largest
and oldest family-owned winery, announced that Leslie
Howard has returned as the Vineyard’s Winemaker. Howard
began his career at Pindar in August 1994, which started his
successful ascent into the field of winemaking. A native
of Long Island’s North Fork and Wine Country, with ancestral
roots in the area that date back to the 1600s, Howard learned
the art of winemaking with a hands-on approach that contributes
to the fruit-forward and expressive style of the wine that
he creates. “I am thrilled to return to the place
where I began my exciting professional journey,” said
Howard. Pindar Vineyards produces more than 60,000 cases
of fine varietal wines yearly; and 16 different vinifera varieties
are grown at Pindar.
