Nearby, in Peconic, Dr. Herodotus Damianos opened Pindar Vineyards. Many others followed; by 2009 the North Fork had thirty wineries. On the mainland, vineyards were flourishing in Clinton and Stonington. 3 Industrialization To some, the success of the vineyards was a reminder that despite all of the development that occurred in Sound shore communities, particularly in the latter half of the twentieth century, the area’s agrarian roots were still visible.
