The kickoff Long Island Winterfest 2012 Jazz on the Vine music series saw wineries across the North Fork packed this weekend. Below are photos News-Review photogapher Barbaraellen Koch snapped at three vineyards in Riverhead Town.
There are 71 concerts set for this year’s Jazz on the Vine series, the most in the event’s five-year history. Some 6,000 people in total flocked to East End for last year’s concerts, and Winterfest organizers expect that number to grow this year.
