Suhru & Lieb Vineyards
Suhru & Lieb Vineyards offers a portfolio of estate-grown, still and sparkling wines made by Long Island veteran winemaker Russell Hearn, known for their signature dry, clean and fruit-forward style. Enjoy a glass or a tasting overlooking rolling farmland and beautiful vineyards.
Suhru & Lieb farms 54 certified-sustainable acres on Oregon Road in Cutchogue — including the largest contiguous Pinot Blanc planting in the United States, which has become the estate's quiet signature variety. Veteran Long Island winemaker Russell Hearn (a regional fixture since the 1990s) anchors the program across two distinct labels: Lieb Cellars releases classic vitis vinifera bottlings including a benchmark estate Pinot Blanc, two Chardonnays, a méthode champenoise Blanc de Blancs, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot; the Suhru label, named after Russell and Susan Hearn, leans into lesser-seen varieties, lower intervention, and a more experimental aesthetic. Reds across both labels lean toward elegance over power — long ferments, neutral oak, restrained alcohol. The Oregon Road tasting room is one of the most photographed on the trail, with sweeping farmland views and seated flights by reservation.
Pinot Blanc, Sparkling Blanc de Blancs, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc
The Lieb Estate Pinot Blanc is the most underrated white wine on the North Fork — a lean, mineral, oyster-friendly bottle that doesn't really have a stylistic peer in the AVA. Russell Hearn's sparkling Blanc de Blancs is also worth a seated flight.
Two labels, one estate
