— a note from the studio

“Cutchogue sits near the middle of the North Fork, the slimmer arm of Long Island's eastern end. The vineyards run in long parallel rows between Peconic Bay to the south and the Sound to the north, both visible from the higher blocks. The maritime light is the long, low kind that ripens Merlot and Cabernet Franc through October. The hamlet claims more annual sunshine than anywhere else in New York.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Cutchogue is an unincorporated hamlet in the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, near the center of the North Fork of Long Island. The hamlet sits between Peconic Bay and Long Island Sound, with the Atlantic moderating winters and lengthening the growing season. The Old House in Cutchogue, built in 1649, is one of the oldest English-built timber-frame houses in the state and a National Historic Landmark (National Park Service). Population was about 3,300 at the 2020 census.

— the place history

Long Island's modern wine industry began in 1973 when Louisa and Alex Hargrave planted the first commercial vinifera vineyard on a former Cutchogue potato farm (Long Island Wine Council). The North Fork American Viticultural Area was designated in 1986 and now holds more than 40 wineries across roughly 2,000 planted acres. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc lead the plantings, with sandy loam soils and the maritime climate driving the regional style.

— informed by Long Island Wine Council
— the season

Bud break runs late April into early May; harvest begins in early September for white grapes and runs into late October or early November for the reds. The maritime climate keeps spring cool and stretches fall warmth into the late ripening window. Tasting rooms cluster along Route 25 and Route 48 through Cutchogue, Mattituck, and Peconic, with peak visitation September through early November (Long Island Wine Council).

— about the piece in your home

Yes. North Fork regulars, winemakers, and weekenders recognize the row-and-water geometry quickly. A Small or Medium reads well in a tasting room, kitchen, or wine cellar.

The piece sits well in coastal-modern, farmhouse, and Hamptons-traditional interiors. The greens and earth tones hold against white shiplap, natural linen, and reclaimed oak.

It fits inside coastal-modern and modern farmhouse, both of which lean on real-place vineyard and water art over generic abstract green panels.

A Large for a standard sideboard. A 4-tile Mural for a sofa wall, where the long vineyard rows can extend across the composition.

Yes, in Dura Satin or Matte. Both resist steam and scratching, and the colour stays held in the ceramic surface.

A soft microfibre cloth and water. No solvents or abrasive pads.

Yes. Reid curates each piece and the tile is hand-finished in Knoxville, Tennessee. Single studio, no licensing, no third-party stock.
