Long Island’s Newest Head Winemaker Is A Creative Force To Be Reckoned With
Marin Brennan has been on Long Island’s wine scene for a minute. But, since she’s been there, she has been raising the bar on the North Fork AVA — and let’s be real, Long Island winemaking in general. Her tenure at Corey Creek Taproom, of which she’s been winemaker since 2019, saw her create unique renditions of rosé and Malbec, as well as a white version of Long Island’s flagship grape, Cabernet Franc (which scored 93 points). This wine has become a fan favorite and a cornerstone item. She followed this up with Coquillage, a wild foraged, sea-shell aged Chardonnay that received the highest score for a dry white wine from Long Island at 94 points.
