Suhru Wines – North Fork selections for 2022

Long Island is one of America’s most diverse wine growing regions. With a cool maritime climate, the region produces wine with moderate alcohol, intense aromatics, and crisp acidity.

Proximity to the ocean greatly influences the grapes grown on Long Island. Most similar in climate to Bordeaux, the East End has embraced “old-world” grape varieties. 

Suhru encompasses all that the East End has to offer and incorporates the region’s sense of community and familial feeling into the expression of each of its wines.

Shelby Hearn Ulrich is the General Manager of Suhru Wines.

Shelby’s life has always been rooted in wine. Growing up a winemaker’s daughter, she took an interest in the wine industry at a young age with her first memories including running through the vineyard, conducting “experiments” in the lab with her sister, and helping her dad during harvest.

A WSET certified wine marketing professional, Shelby got her start in the industry in 2005. She has since worked in tasting rooms, planted vineyards, hand-harvested grapes, bottled, worked in the cellar, and sampled her fair share along the way!
