By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Friday afternoon during Wine Bloggers Conference 2010 in Walla Walla, Washington, the New York Cork Report was awarded its second consecutive Wine Blog Award in the "Best Single-Subject Wine Blog" award. I'm not very good...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor Think ?great beer towns? and Rochester, NY may not immediately come to mind -- but perhaps it should. I?ve heard whispers of Rochester?s status as a craft beer diamond-in-the-rough for years, from bar customers, tasting...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Well that didn't take long. Less than three weeks after Rich Olsen-Harbich left Raphael to lead the Bedell Cellars winemaking team, Raphael found his replacement -- North Fork native Les Howard. Only 35, Les has...
By Evan Dawson, Finger Lakes Editor Photo by Morgan Dawson Photography Friday night, three Finger Lakes wineries will release two new vintages of their cooperative wine, Tierce. But if the goal for the wine is still the same -- Fox...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Now that Rich Olsen-Harbich has joined Bedell Cellars as head winemaker, this the kind of wine that I'm going to miss from Raphael, where he made wines for 14 years. That's nothing against the next...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Ravines photo courtesy of Mark Moskal This month's New York Cork Club selections can be considered a brief exploration of dry rose in New York State. Before I say a bit about the two wines,...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor As someone who has tasted several vintages worth now, it's almost impossible for me to understand why the Massoud family, owners of Paumanok Vineyards, are the only ones growing and making chenin blanc on Long...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor This weekend, the Long Island Wine & Food Festival invades the East End. This weekend-long celebration of Long Island's bounty promises to be a lot of fun and the Saturday schedule is jam-packed with events...
By Aaron Estes, Cheese Editor As a part-time cheesemonger, I am routinely asked for my recommendations for cheeses. Composing a cheese plate for a party, pairing with a specific wine and making an addition or substitution for a recipe are...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor Paul Brock, head winemaker at Lamoreaux Landing Wine Cellars on Seneca Lake, is preparing to leave the winery for a new job as an instructor of viticulture and enology at Finger Lakes Community College. FLCC...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor John and Nancy Bruno, owners of Oak Summit Vineyard in the Hudson Valley only do pinot noir. It's the only grape the grow in their 6-acre vineyard. It's the only wine they make. And they...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor I promise we'll get back to Tasting Table as a weekly feature here on Fridays, but in the meantime, I'll put them together when I can -- like today. As always these are short notes...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Now here is something unique on the local wine scene. Look at a bottle of Bouke 2009 Perlant ($17) and it might not seem like a one-of-a-kind. Scan the back label and you'll learn that...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor I dig brettanomyces in beers as long as it?s not overpowering, so I picked up the 2009 edition of this ?Funkhouse Ale with Brettanomyces? from the self-proclaimed little slice of Belgium in Cooperstown, Brewery Ommegang....
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Disappointingly few rieslings made in the Hudson Valley from Finger Lakes fruit maintain the true character of the fruit's origin. There are many reasons why this could be, some unavoidable. Trucking fruit or juice from...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor As the New York Cork Report continues to evolve and grow, it's important that we never lose sight of the fact that wine (and beer) are not meant to be enjoyed in a vacuum. You...
Schulze Vineyards & Winery doubled its production area this spring. by Bryan Calandrelli, Niagara Region Editor When I arrived at Schulze Vineyards & Winery to sit down with owner Martin Schulze to discuss his namesake winery?s expansion, I shouldn?t have...
By Evan Dawson, Finger Lakes Editor Photos courtesy of J.R. Dill Winery If you were a banker, you might not be that excited about helping Jeffrey Dill, either. See, the guy was not even 26 years old. He wanted to...
A light turnout this week, but here are some of the wines and beers that our editors drank last week... Bryan Calandrelli: Tabor Adama 2007 Clay Soil Ros? (Israel) Even with all the great wine stores in western New York...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor I enjoyed this summer seasonal from Lake Placid Brewing, a member of the F.X. Matt family of beers, for the first time on a kayak on a gorgeous summer evening last week. Though I enjoy...
By Evan Dawson, Finger Lakes Editor Second photo courtesy Lucas Vineyards from a recent riesling vertical tasting See if you can answer this question: What is the greatest white wine ever made in the Finger Lakes? What is the greatest...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Okay I'll admit it. I bit of more than I could err...taste when said we'd publish a rose and riesling review every day in May. It was a fun idea, but a hectic schedule at...
(Editor's Note: From time to time, we hear about projects and initiatives that we feel are better discussed and written about by those directly involved. In this instance, we've asked Adam Ehmer, who in addition to his duties at Roanoke...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor When Sue Guerra, who writes On the Vine for New Jersey Monthly, expressed interest in attending TasteCamp, I had absolutely no idea who she was. None. Now, after spending a couple days with her, tasting...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Here is just a glimpse of what the NYCR editors drank last week, and what happens when we did: Evan Dawson: Inglenook 1976 Cabernet Sauvignon Cask 48 and La Rioja Alta 1985 Gran Reserva 904...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Rich Olsen-Harbich, long-time winemaker at Raphael in Peconic has resigned that post and will take over the head winemaking duties at Bedell Cellars starting next week, joining a winemaking team that includes Bedell's founder and...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor BeerAdvocate, perhaps the most respected voice in the craft beer world, publishes a list of the ?Top 50 American Breweries? as chosen out of 1,400 breweries and brewpubs across the United States. In 2007, a...
Photo courtesy of Shinn Estate Vineyards After a longer-than-it-needed-to-be battle, the wind turbine at Shinn Estate Vineyards has finally been installed. Congratulations to owners David Page and Barbara Shinn. If you're winery is doing alternative energy installations, let us know....
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor With Long Island's incredible bounty -- the fish, the fowl, the produce, the beer and of course the wine -- it's actually a little baffling that an event like the Long Island Wine & Food...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor When you take a step back and look at a map, Long Island wine country (the two forks of eastern Long Island) really isn't that big. As such, there just isn't that much new vineyard-ready...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor Photo courtesy of PhilaFoodie Imagine, for a moment, that you are on trial for a crime you did not commit. Sitting in court, before testimony even begins, the judge makes an announcement: He will rule...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Because of some holiday-related shipping delays, we've had to reschedule that our next Taste Live event from tomorrow to Wednesday, June 16 at at 8 p.m. ET. I'll be moderating again on behalf of Finger...
By Rick Van Sickle, Wines In Niagara Photos by Morgan Dawson Reflecting back on what truly was a startling discovery of New York?s Finger Lakes wine region during TasteCamp EAST 2010, one aspect of the vino-soaked weekend that I will...
By Ralph DiGennaro, Long Island Restaurant Critic As a longtime fan of Chef Noah Schwartz when he commandeered the kitchen at the now defunct Seafood Barge in Southold, I had high expectations when he opened his eponymous titled restaurant in...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Carmenere on Long Island? Yes, really. This is Long Island's first carmenere, and as far as I know, the only carmenere being made on the East Coast (thought it seems like it might do well...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor It's been a while since we've published a Tasting Table -- sorry for that. Our coverage of Finger Lakes riesling and Long Island rose will carry over into June a bit, but here are some...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Many roses made with 100% merlot bore me. There are exceptions of course, but mostly you simple strawberry and maybe some watermelon but not much else. Blending red varieties or even blending reds and whites...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Having tasted a lot of Finger Lakes riesling this month -- a lot -- several characteristics that consistently ran through most of the wines. I'm not going to get into a discussion of terroir here,...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor I?ve encountered consistent quality and creativity from Ithaca Brewing Company?s high-end Excelsior line. Now into the third week of my attempt to make up for lost time drinking all the craft beer I missed while...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor If you follow Heart & Hands Wine Company co-owners Tom Higgins and Susan Higgins on Twitter you already know this, but they've had a long week. You see, they planted their vineyard this week, so...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor After some delays and rescheduling, I'm happy to announce that our next Taste Live event will take place next week on Wednesday, on June 2 at 8 p.m. ET. I'll be moderating again on behalf...
By Lenn Thompson, Editor-in-Chief Neil Miller's blog Stressing the Vine is one that I've been a fan of for some time, so when he expressed interest in attending TasteCamp, I was excited. It's always fun to meet fellow bloggers --...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor A little housekeeping today. As you may have noticed (okay, probably not) we've made some changes to the NYCR contributors page, including two pieces of staff shuffling. One has an immediate impact to our editorial...
By Richard Auffrey, The Passionate Foodie It was Sunday afternoon, the final event of TasteCamp 2010, and palate fatigue ran rampant among the attendees. There had already been 200-300 wines available for tasting over the weekend and I was not...
By Lenn Thompson, Editor-in-Chief Making dry riesling isn't easy. Sure, you can let the yeast do its thing and ferment to dryness, but if you are shooting for balance and depth of flavor, it's not that simple. It takes good,...
By Lenn Thompson, Editor-in-Chief We'll take a little break from New York wine this morning to offer heart-felt congratulations to our science editor, Tom Mansell and his fiancee Sarah Goonan, who got engaged over the weekend. I've only known them...
By Lenn Thompson, Editor-in-Chief I'm taking this week off from What We Drank (mostly because everything I tasted over the weekend will be reviewed elsewhere on the site). Luckily, some other team members are picking up the slack this week....
By Lenn Thompson, Editor-in-Chief Even as many Finger Lakes wineries get more attention from national publications, Thirsty Owl Wine Company continues to fly (pun intended) a bit under the radar. I'm not familiar enough with the people behind the wines...
By Lenn Thompson, Editor-in-Chief Looking for a light, crisp rose with delicate red fruit character and maybe a little citrusy acidity? Look somewhere else.There are plenty of local roses that fit that description. Shinn Estate Vineyards 2009 Rose ($15) is...
By Lenn Thompson, Editor-in-Chief This website, under the LENNDEVOURS name, has been nominated for a few awards over the years, often in the "single subject" arena because of our singular focus on the New York wine industry. Last year, we...
