Our 2021 Cabernet Franc brought home its final medal last week – a Double Gold from the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition. I thought it would be a good time to take the Cabernet Franc “Family Photo”! Here are the Francs which were in compeitions since we started that kind of thing. The trend is up!

The 2021 Cabernet Franc has only been released for a couple of months, so there should be plenty of time to enjoy it if you haven’t tried it yet. The good news is the more recent vintages could be even better!

So, after a RELENTLESS winter and a Spring laced with frost and freeze events, I think I am comfortable saying we finally made it to the starting point. We weren’t completely unscathed by the cold, but everything except the Gewürztraminer made it to the other side without any noticable cold damage. That was a close one. There is still a lot of risk between here and harvest, but we can take a deep breath and start to relax a bit!

Summer is around the corner, and we are starting our “Summer Hours”:

Thursday Noon-6pm
Friday & Saturday Noon-8pm
Sunday Noon-6pm

We are releasing our 2021 Cabernet Franc this week. While we were getting that release ready, we received news from the International Cabernet Franc Competition that it received not 1, but 2 “Best of Show” Awards this year! At this competition, they have two sets of judges. One is the “Wine Professionals” Panel, and the other is the “People’s Choice” Panel.

It has the spiciness and fruitiness we are looking for in Cab Franc, but the tannins are still quite firm for an almost 5-year-old wine.

Both our 2023 & 2024 Meritage Rose’ wines (a blend with 56% Cabernet Franc) also won Silver Medals in the “Specialty” wine class of the same competition. When we get those medals shipped to us, we should put together a “family photo” of the Cab Francs over the years!

Cheers!

Happy Riesling Birthday Everyone!

Today is Riesling’s 591st “Birthday” in 1435 where it appeared in the cellar inventory records of Count John IV of Katzenelnbogen (“Cat’s Elbow” in German). It listed the purchase by cellarmaster Klaus Kleinfisch of six "Riesslingen" vines for 22 shillings from a local nursery.

We plan to celebrate all week with either the 2021 Half-Dry Riesling or the 2023 Dry Riesling. We will also do some Wine Cellar Spelunking at the house and bring up a surprise or two from down there.

Cheers!... or „Prost!“... or „Zum Wohl!“... or „Alles Gute zum Geburtstag!“
