South Shore Long Island, NY — Save
The Great South Bay’s Great South Bay
Oyster Project is growing — both in
impact and geography. This summer, in
addition to community oyster gardens at
local docks in Bay Shore, Babylon, and
Amityville, new sites are being launched
in Brightwaters and Oakdale, giving
more South Shore residents the opportunity
to help restore the bay, one oyster
at a time.
Volunteer at a Local Garden (or Two!)
The initiative invites volunteers of all ages — including students
and families — to participate in hands-on, bi-weekly maintenance
of oyster gardens under the guidance of trained team leaders
Ron Marino, Neal Axelrad, Richard Regula, and Bill Higgins,
Janet Soley & Michael Chionchio. Volunteers will help pull oyster
crates from the water, rinse and scrub them, and take samples
to monitor oyster growth and survivorship. These tiny creatures,
known as spat (Crassostrea virginica), are the foundation of a
healthier bay.
•Sign up to volunteer at: www.savethegreatsouthbay.org/volunteer.
Community service is available.
A Small Time Commitment, A Big Impact
The time commitment is just one to two hours every week from
the end of June through early September. At the end of the season,
the oysters — now grown — will be transplanted into Save The
Great South Bay oyster sanctuary sites within the bay, where they
can mature, spawn, and support wild oyster settlement.
Oysters: Nature’s Water Filters
Oysters are environmental powerhouses. A single mature oyster
can fi lter up to 50 gallons of water per day, improving water quality
and helping to rebuild a balanced bay ecosystem.
A Collaborative Effort
The program is run by West Islip resident and Save The Great
South Bay Board Member Andy Mirchel, in collaboration with
Demetrios Caroussos of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk
County’s SPAT program.

CHATEAU GRAVILLE-LACOSTE GRAVES
France. Always a terrifi c White Bordeaux, Chateau
Graville-Lacoste stands out in the crowd because of its
high percentage of Semillon (60%). Most White Bordeauxs
are Sauvignon Blanc driven. The higher percentage of
Semillon gives this wine a bit more body and roundness. The
Sauvignon Blanc (35%) adds the refreshing citrus fl avors.
Muscadelle (5%) adds the beautiful perfume nose. Put all
these components together and you get a well balanced
harmonious compelling dry white that has broad appeal for
all. Great match with seafood, but equally as good with spicy
foods and chicken too.

TORRES PAGO DEL CIELO CELESTE VERDEJO
Spain. I was absolutely completely caught off guard in the
most positive way when I tasted this jewel from the Rueda
Appellation in the region of Castilla Y Leon. As soon as I
smelled the wine I knew I was in for a treat. A swirl of the glass
revealed tropical fruits of mangoes, peaches, grapefruit. This
transpired right into the fi rst sip of the wine. So lush and round
with those ripe fruits just blending together for a generous super
easy drinking wine. This medium bodied dry white is great by
itself but also with chicken, pork and grilled shrimp! Broiled
scallops. Yes! It’s a winner at this price point!! Mike H.

Mendoza, Argentina. ORGANIC. Connecting with

the goat. The nose is defi ned by fresh and fruity aromas
of ripe plums and blackberries. Its tannins are soft and

DOMAINE DE MONTFIN CORBIERES
France. Grown in the southwest of France, this deep, rich,
seductive beauty of a wine is made from 80 year old Carignan
vines and 20 year old Grenache vines. This classic blend makes

It is, in my opinion, an incredible dollar value,
given the quality that is in the bottle. Mike H. 11.99
