Nestled close to two other wineries that we would visit on day two of our Finger Lakes tasting journey is this little gem that overlooks the water.  It was early on a snowy and foggy day so there was no traffic and no other visitors- perfect!

They offer tastings by flight- I chose the Dry one.  It started out with a very crisp and fresh 2021 Chardonnay that was delicious and worthy of 91 points.  The Silvan Riesling  from the same vintage was awesome.  I wrote ‘delicious with some lees and slightly oaked, unique and different’.  The Red included in my flight was the yummy 2021 Lemberger aka Blaufrankisch.  This grape is popular in Eastern parts of Europe and thrives in this region.  I bought several bottles and will review one separately.  I gave it 88 points, enjoying its spicy profile.  As a courtesy, I was given a taste of the unoaked Lemberger, same vintage.  I thought it was just okay and kinda flat- 86 points.  The finale for me was a 90/91 point Dry Riesling that was crisp with hints of petrol- my style alright!  Overall a very charming tasting with great views had it not been for the dense fog and snow!  I bet it’s busy as hell in the summer time.  Salut….
