Clear deep gold. Abundant, genie-like nose of baked apple and birch. Medium palate confirms the nose -- the apple is green -- with a hint of ripe pear and mineral notes with solid, medium-plus acidity tempered by the barrel treatment. The Classique draws from the top vineyards around lower Seneca Lake, and the result is among the best the Finger Lakes has to offer. Excellent all-around white for rich seafood, pork, or poultry dishes, and especially the Thanksgiving table. Drink now 2021 through 2026. — 2 months ago

Fire & Ice; Second post in 2023 of this bottle, first post we still had snow, second we have no... Perhaps some variation against our favor tonight, this seems a little flat, but should be other than...🤷🏻♂️ — 3 months ago
Really like this, musky, tropical fruit notes in the very strong finish. One of my faves from our finger lakes wine trip! — 9 days ago

Riesling on Thanksgiving is turning into a tradition!
Better than previous bottles. Nicely balanced between petrol, sweetness, and acidity. Wine could have used a little more zip, but high quality. Paired well with cheese and shrimp cocktail. — 9 days ago
