ICON Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep, intense ruby-red in color, with complex aromas of plums, cherries and notes of ripe black fruits such as blackberries and blueberries combine with a sweet touch of vanilla and coffee. Brotherhood Winery suggests pairing with rich chocolate. OK, if that’s the recommendation we won’t argue with that…

Bully Hill Vineyards, Hammondsport, NY
Bully Hill is situated on magnificent Keuka Lake, one of the New York State Finger Lakes. Sitting on the deck with a refreshing glass of Rielsing and a plate of delicate crab cakes, (that’s what I had the last time I visited), is a heavenly experience where time slows down and you can truly unwind.
This dry Riesling is bright with notes of citrus, green apple, and melon; subtle minerality and refreshing acidity. Bully Hill.
We’re going to pair our Riesling with a delish Maryland style crab cake. Recipe by Lila Ruth.

Lamoreaux Landing Wine Cellars with a commanding view of Seneca Lake, NY, another spectacular New York Finger Lake. We can imagine Bacchus, (dressed in a polo shirt and khakis instead of a toga) feeling quite comfortable in this stunning contemporary edifice.
A grand entrance. Lamoreaux Landing Wine Cellars owner Mark Wagner discussed his dedication to sustainability and renewable energy with my husband and I the last time we visited this impressive winery.
2020 Dry Rosé. An enchanting pink hue and subtle aromas of lavender and citrus introduce you to an elegant, fruit-forward wine with a bright, refreshing finish. Lamoreaux Landing suggests pairing this new release wine with a Mediterranean salad with artichokes and olives.

We’ll pair the award winning Cab with this luscious Sheet-Pan Paprika Chicken with Tomatoes; recipe the New York Times.
Ever wonder why wine is called “the nectar of the Gods?” In ancient Greek mythology nectar was considered the divine drink of the Olympian deities. It was a grave offense for any mortal to drink it. Aren’t we lucky, that in New York State, the laws are so much more lenient? Grapevine, with a promise of wines to come, Lamoreaux Landing.
