Our second stop of eight wineries took us down a snow covered dirt road to this stunning property.  Overlooking the lake, the new and modern tasting facility was well-lit and beautifully appointed.  Our host was the co-owner and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.  No proper notes were taken but I loved the whites, especially the dessert ones.  The reds came from a difficult, wet vintage and were thin.  This winery is a must-stop-in if you are on the eastern shores of Seneca Lake.  You can tell that the husband and wife team are passionate about their wines and their business.

I rated the Cab Franc at 88 points, the Harmonic at 89 (it’s a Bordeaux blend).  The unoaked Chardonnay got 90 for its roundness with stone fruit.  The Extra Dry Riesling got 88 points- no R/S made it bone dry but it had some lovely ripe fruit.  The Riesling Dry had tell-tale petrol notes which got me excited- 90 points.  The Med Dry Riesling Ovid Line North got 91 points and was delicious, a steal at $18.95.  The #110 Riesling sat right in the sweet spot with 90 points followed by the 88 point Gewürztraminer Med-Dry.  The Riesling Reserve #98 is one to look out for-91 points from me.  Of the two sweet wines, the Gewürztraminer Grand from 202 was delicious and unique but the amazing Riesling Ice wine was stunning at 94 points for me.  It’s very young, from the 2022 vintage and should age gracefully for many years.  Mine is in the cellar.

Overall a grand time was had and we didn’t even mind the fog and snow!  I cannot imagine the views and ambience of this scenic sight in the warm summer months.  Salut….
