My favorite sparkling producer in the Finger Lakes. Green apple, lemon, lemon skin, whit florals and chalk. Super pro bubble texture, this is the house to buy bubbles from in FLX! — 2 days ago

Great structure with body, grippy tannins, strong acid. The flavor takes me to cider town. Left me wanting more. — 4 years ago

One of the best. Sidra-style perry made in NY, but not faddish at all. John Reynolds, one of my favorite iconoclastic wine/cider-makers, has been doing it this way for decades. Micro production. Loads of VA but flat out delicious; vibrant, textured, rich and soulful. Do yourself a favor and find some of this if you like natural wine. I’d argue this kills almost any high-VA natural wine. Why? There’s a historical precedent for the style, the flavor profile makes sense, it’s clean and well-made. Great stuff. — 5 years ago

Medium body, abundant legs, pale white. Apricot, honeysuckle and apple cider on the nose. Juicy pit fruit on the fore palate, scant sweetness, with a lingering peach compote on the finish. (Bacon wrapped pork tenderloin medallions on a bed of mixed green salad with beets, cucumber, and Gorgonzola, chicken- broccoli Alfredo over pasta rustica on the side) — 3 years ago

Fascinating pale gold straw color.

A cidery in the nose. Pears, fresh cut cold apple slices, peaches, slight essence of cardamom.

What a refreshing quality of effervescence to add to a tart, mineral, and blade of grass of a wine.

This is just fun, and reinvents this varietal for lovers of Riesling.

Always see the producer around and Simply Wine just added new bottles to their collection, subbing this slot in for Scribe (which is good, known, and kill the branding game, but not always best value).

Plus we got Finger Lakes in the house, which always feels great to support the local-ish wine scene.

Welcome addition. — 4 years ago

This has greatly improved over the past 3 years in bottle. On the nose, funky overripe pears, fresh apple cider and petrol. In the mouth... all kinds of weirdness...in a good way. Pear, wet rock, forest shrubs after a rain (we called them “mountain misery” when I grew up - I don’t know what they are really called). High acid, long finish. This producer is one of the most interesting in the US. — 5 years ago
