Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Crushed fresh herbs interweave with white cherries and strawberries on the nose. A creaminess adds weight to the mid-palate, with a long finish carried by raspberries and cranberries.

This wine provides mouth-watering acidity to pierce through a heavier protein such as charred steak, but can play a more reserved role when paired with delicate options such as creamy-tomato shrimp. On those bright days, feel free to experiment with a Frisée salad with fresh garden beets, sprouts, gorgonzola and balsamic vinaigrette.

    With a hint of smoke and a warm strawberry fragrance, this has a pretty core of spicy red fruit, with just enough edgy acidity to pour with poached chicken.

Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.

Finger Lakes Wine

New York, U.S.

As the most historic wine-producing region in New York state, winemaking in the Finger Lakes area dates back to the 1820s and today as a region, accounts for 90% of the state’s total wine production.

Its narrow and deep lakes created by the movement of Ice Age glaciers create an environment similar to the classic Riesling-loving regions of Europe, namely Germany and Austria. The Finger Lakes retain summer heat that incidentally warms up cold winter air, making it fall down from the lakes’ steep slopes. When spring comes, the lakes, already cooled by cold winter weather, stave off vine budding until the danger of frost has subsided. The main lakes of the zone, that is those big enough to moderate the climate in this way, are the focal points of prime vineyard areas. They include Canandaigua, Keuka, Seneca and Cayuga.

While Riesling has fueled most of the region’s success, today Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc enjoy some attention.
