From the Vineyard... Like most local agricultural endeavors, 2009 was a year to forget for most vineyards in the area. There was way too much rain and way too little sunshine. The crop was small and the fruit did not mature very well. Nevertheless, the white wines (both dry and sweet) should be good. The red wines, however, will probably be lacking in body. This past year we did put in an experimental planting of a relatively new red hybrid (from Minnesota) named Marquette. This variety has received some significant attention in the Midwest and East in recent years. The wine is good.
From the Cellar... All of our traditional wines are currently available. The dry reds and the sweeter whites continue to be the most popular items in the tasting room. Incidentally, they both go very nicely with most chocolates. In 2009 we entered one competition, sponsored by the Hudson Valley Wine & Grape Association. We entered 5 wines and we received 4 awards; hence, we must be doing something right.
