Long Island is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) encompassing Nassau and Suffolk counties of New York, including the smaller offshore islands off Long Island. It was established on May 14, 2001 by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Treasury after reviewing the petition submitted by Richard Olsen-Harbich on behalf of Raphael Winery, the Petrocelli Family, and Karen Meredith of Broadfields Vineyards, proposing a viticultural area in Nassau and Suffolk counties to be known as "Long Island." The AVA was established over 15 years after two smaller AVAs were created at the eastern end of Long Island. The larger appellation was created as a benefit for some wineries located outside the two smaller AVAs and for wineries that wanted to create wines that use blends from vineyards in different parts of the island. It was also developed and promoted as a consumer protection of the Long Island name, as AVAs are required to have at least 85% of the fruit used in the designated wine grown within the borders of the region. The petitioner was veteran Long Island vintner Richard Olsen-Harbich who also was petitioner for "The Hamptons, Long Island" and "North Fork of Long Island" viticultural areas in the mid-1980s. Vineyards on Long Island benefit from the moderating influence of the Atlantic Ocean, Long Island Sound, and Peconic Bay on the local climate. The region is located in hardiness zones 7a and 7b.
