Every Friday, we’ll pull a special bottle from the cellar — or open something we’re considering for the bottle list — and pour it by the glass for one weekend only.

These are wines with stories: reserve bottlings, single-vineyard selections, library wines with age, and limited-production releases that we simply don’t open every day. Some may only yield a handful of glasses before they’re gone.

This Friday’s Cellar Pour is our 2008 Dry Riesling — showing its age with elegance and restraint. Lightly honied, with notes of clover honey, orange marmalade, and cured lemon, it balances maturity with vibrant acidity and remarkable freshness.

Just a few pics from Friday’s Winemakers’ Dinner.
1. Pork tenderloin, stuffed with prosciutto and parmigiano, with a Riesling-Miso glaze and grilled asparagus. Paired with 2024 Cabernet Franc and 2016 Curry Creek Pinot Gris, which was a really fun, orange-tinted, savory expression of Pinot Gris.

2. Trio of Creme for Dessert. Creme brûlée base topped with Blueberry, Caramel, and Raspberry, paired with 2017 Tango Oaks Noble Select Riesling.

3. Self explanatory menu pic.

Our next dinner will be July 10th. We hope to see you there.

Happy Mother’s Day! 🌷
Though the weather is dreary this morning, it is a day to celebrate love and warmth!

Cheesy egg scramble with griddled potatoes & asparagus.

And, of course, our full lunch menu is available… including my Mother’s delicious Swedish Meatballs!

Yup, this is a picture of my Mom (and me). ❤️❤️

Well…what a difference a day makes!

Winter’s (hopefully) last hurrah is here, and it calls for comfort food — like our savory Swedish meatballs or a yummy grilled cheese with onion jam and a side of our famous tomato soup.

We’re serving lunch in the bistro from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. today. Stop in to warm up with a good bite!

🌞 Hello, sunshine!

This beautiful weather calls for a glass of wine on the deck, or a bite to eat in the bistro.

Stop in to embrace the sunshine — we’re serving food until 4 and doing tastings until 5!

Sunday Sip & Savor! Wine & Food… together!
It’s starting to feel like spring!
Stop by today (3/29) for a special Sip & Savor treat!
- Salamander White - Red Newt’s dry Cayuga (with a touch of Riesling in the blend)
-House Smoked Salmon Crostini with Lemon-Garlic Aioli and Capers

Our Salamander White is the perfect wine to welcome in the spring! It is elegantly dry, crisp, fruit forward, and quenching. And a perfect complement to the rich, luscious salmon and salty capers. Delightful!

Please do stop in today and see me. Have a glass of Salamander White and have a smoked salmon crostini on me!
😋
Cheers!
