Moxie and I did a tour through the Finger Lakes of New York recently, this was our first of eight wineries in two days.  We thoroughly enjoyed our time here with our very knowledgeable and witty host.  A brief overview of my scores reveals most in the 88-90 range but the showstopper for me was the 2014 Riesling Caywood East Dry.  Simply stunning and loaded with freshness yet petrol was abundant- just what I was looking for.  I gave it 93 points and picked up a few bottles.  I also grabbed some Magnums of a more recent vintage to lay down, after all this wine was meant to develop and when it does…..  I noted that the Meritage was deelish with low tannins, light color and a medium (-) body.  Overall, a great tasting experience and glad we had the place to ourselves.  Salut….

Sorry about the horrible pictures, the lighting was intense and I could not get a decent angle.
