Palmer Vineyards is not
the oldest winery on Long Island. No less, in a mere 23 years
Palmer has become a significant part of
the Long Island wine industry and a staple name in homes and restaurants around Long Island and New York City. Look no further than the words of Howard Goldberg,a famous wine
writer in the area, who described
Palmer as, "Long Island's most
important winery."
Greatly appreciated, the winery has received various awards of honor (you can view here) in the past
decade. The praise reflects the efforts of the
Palmer team as it strives to uphold Bob Palmer's
pledge of quality. "I've got to be
careful," Palmer says, "my name is on
every bottle." Each staff member contributes
a unique factor much the same as a winemaker
selects the best of various lots to craft a
special blend.
Today, it is fair to say, Bob Palmer's marketing efforts have made
Palmer the most visible and best known Long
Island producer. With his experience in New
York's fast track advertising business to guide
him, he spends almost six months out of each year
on the road promoting his Palmer wines and educating people around the country about the splendor of Long Island and its wines.
Bob Palmer's sales and marketing experiences has taken him as far as
the United Kingdom, the most pretigious and largest wine market in the world. When asked to reflect, Palmer notes, "I've seen a
dramatic change in the reception we have received
since we started our trips in 1987. Today, even
if people haven't tasted our wines, they know the
name and are eager to try them." Palmer
credits an active public relations campaign to
this high recognition factor as well as favorable
reviews by leading writers in the international
wine press.
Today
Palmer wines are sold in many states across the country. It can also be
found in many top restaurants as a private label, such as Gallaghers
Steak House, Fultons Crabhouse, The View Restaurant, and many more. We
invite you to try a bottle.
