Hopkins Vineyard Duet
Moet & Chandon Rose Imperial
Whitecliff Winery Vidal Blanc
We wine lovers can be glad that all things pumpkin spiced haven’t found their way into our beverage of choice – yet! Apple, on the other hand, is a common flavor note in wine that is thoroughly delightful. A grape that grows well in the Hudson Valley and that has lovely notes of golden apple […]
Dr. Konstantin Frank Riesling
Sunshine and blue skies! Let’s linger in summer with a chilled white wine. A semi-dry Riesling is wonderful this time of year. It goes with everything from grilled chicken to apple pie with a slice of melted cheddar on top. New York State is known around the world for producing exceptional Rieslings out of the […]

Muscadet de Sevres
Oh no, the Olympics are over on Sunday! Waste no time in reaching for more French wine! How about a crisp, refreshing, and lastingly lovely white wine? It’s a Muscadet de Sevres et Maine sur Lie. That’s a very long name for a wine, and it’s worth getting to know. The Muscadet is not what […]
