State Liquor Authority Probing Vineyard 48

Vineyard 48, a Cutchogue winery which has made headlines in the past for its louder-than-average weekend events, is reportedly the subject of a State Liquor Authority investigation that could potentially revoke its farm winery license.

The vineyard has been the topic of debate as it's promoted parties on site, asking people to "come join the sexiest people on Long Island!" While managers Dale Suter and Matt McBride have argued that the parties are the vineyard's cost of doing business, town leaders have revisited the town code to review the issue of recurring large-scale events at agricultural operations such as wineries, which some say is a pattern beyond just Vineyard 48.

According to the Suffolk Times, the probe is looking into a list of complaints cited at the vineyard, which is reportedly filing for a revised site plan in town hall which would permit more parking at the vineyard.

The report states Southold Police Chief Martin Flatley testified at a hearing in March related to the investigation, and is due back in front of an administrator later this month.
