We also produce outstanding Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Gruner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc, Cayuga White, Catawba, Niagara and other flavorful white varieties.

In The Vineyard
With Winter around the corner we are wrapping up for the season and getting ready for pruning to begin!
Each vine is meticulously pruned by hand and to ensure the best crop in the upcoming growing season. We are looking forward to a beautiful and productive season in 2022.
In The Wine Cellar
The 2021 wines are being racked and fermented for the spring bottling season and red wines are being tucked away in barrels to age.
We are so excited to offer a Dry Pinot Noir Rose as well as Semi-Dry Gewurztraminer Bluebird, and a new vintage of Tattooed Lady to name a few. The Dry reds such as the 2018 Cabernet Franc, 2019 Baco Noir and Pinot Noir and new 2020 Tango are available for purchase!
