United States | New York Owner: Premium Beverage Group Winemaker: Russell Hearn Founded: 2004 www.bridgelanewine.com

In 2004, Lieb Cellars introduced Bridge Lane: a line of every day wines at more affordable price points. Ten years later, Bridge Lane introduced alternative formats, with the wines being offered in 750ml bottles, 375ml cans, 3L boxes and 19.5L disposable kegs. The vineyard sites were carefully chosen for their loamy, well-draining soils and proximity to the Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay, two bodies of water that impart moderate temperatures and an extended growing season that is a month longer than any other New York wine region. Russell Hearn is the winemaker. As a member of Long Island Sustainable Winegrowing, the vines are grown using sustainable vineyard practices. They avoid the use of herbicides and use organic fertilizers. Yields are kept low, and the fruit is picked by hand.
