By Bryan Calandrelli, Niagara Region Editor The timing of Leonard Oakes Estate Winery?s party celebrating their two double-gold medal winning wines from the annual New York Food & Wine Classic couldn?t have been more appropriate. Two weeks before, their 2008...
By Dave Seel, Long Island Food Correspondent Driving through Cutchogue on Rt. 25, you have to keep a keen look out for the sign at McCall Wines or you might miss it. The tasting room, an old potato barn, is...
Photo courtesy of Paumanok Vineyards I received this picture in an email from Kareem Massoud, winemaker at Paumanok, saying that they've picked chardonnay for sparkling this morning. Kareem is busy processing this fruit at the moment, but I'm hoping to...
Julia Burke, Beer Editor Harvest is on the minds of New York winemakers and wine lovers these days, but let's not forget the other best part of fall: it's the best season of the year for beer! If you're looking...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor These are tasting notes for some wines that have been tasted at the NYCR tasting table but won't be reviewed in standalone posts. Channing Daughters Winery 2008 Cuvee Tropical ($20): 8% muscat ottonel and it...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor The American government has accepted Johannes Reinhardt's application for permanent worker status, the New York Cork Report confirmed Tuesday. This decision essentially guarantees that Reinhardt will finally receive a green card. He is now permitted...

By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor What helps differentiate the best wineries from the rest in a region? The wines they produce in cooler and/or less-ideal growing seasons. By that definition, Shinn Estate Vineyards is no doubt one of the North...
Video courtesy of Finger Lakes Wine Country Our new Finger Lakes Food Correspondent, Rochelle Bilow, is serving in an official capacity for FLWC's 2010 Riesling Launch later this month. As a part of that, she visits Wagner Vineyards to discuss...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Wine is most certainly food, but beyond our cheese coverage, we haven't done a great job introducing you to New York's seemingly endless food artisans. In fact, it's been almost non-existent. That's why today's dual...
By Evan Dawson, Finger Lakes and Managing Editor Visitors to Red Tail Ridge Winery on Seneca Lake have to weave through the vineyards to reach the tasting room, and lately they might have noticed something unusual. The signs at the...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor As you probably saw earlier this morning, most of the post-Irene reports coming out of wine country are positive. I have yet to hear if any of the rain that fell on the vineyards had...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Many in and around Long Island wine country are still without power (including me and my family) but reports are trickling in on the damage Hurricane Irene did as she passed over the area. Roman...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Because so many people are without power and are cleaning up after the weekend's storm, we have decided to postpone our dinner at Luce & Hawkins scheduled for tomorrow Wednesday, August 31 at 7 p.m....
From Lieb Family Cellars Having lost friends and colleagues in the tragic events of September 11, 2001, we at Lieb Cellars feel strongly that it is everyone?s responsibility to support the 9/11 memorial. In 2004, we were approached by Monica...
Martha Clara Vineyards winemaker Robin Epperson McCarthy posted this photo on Facebook last night. It has me hopeful that local vineyards came through the storm largely unscathed, but I'll be gathering information and hopefully photos over the next day or...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor Ithaca Beer Company will break ground today on the construction of a new brewery directly behind the current location on Route 13 in Ithaca, New York. The new brewery will triple Ithaca Beer's current capacity;...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor With Hurricane Irene expected to approach and move across Long Island late Saturday night into Sunday, local wineries are preparing as best they can, and some are announcing closings ahead of the storm. Peconic Bay...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Local growers and winemakers are watching the weather closely this week to keep an eye on Hurricane Irene, which has a projected path up the eastern seaboard and over the East End of Long Island...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Over the past week or so, Lieb Family Cellars has come under fire -- from all directions -- over two recently released wines meant to commemorate 9/11 and the opening of the National September 11...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor I've found some of Long Island's 2010 sauvignon blancs a bit lacking -- mostly in the balance department. They all have plenty of fruit -- hot, dry year and all that. A few are so...
By Evan Dawson, Finger Lakes Editor Photos by Tom Smith Paul and Shannon Brock have reached an agreement to assume ownership of Silver Thread Vineyard, a small operation on a highly regarded piece of property on southeast Seneca Lake. The...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Last year's HARVEST East End was a fun, successful event that raised $60,000 for the Peconic Land Trust and East End Hospice. This year they've added Group for the East End as a beneficiary, and...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Dave Mudd, an outspoken leader and a tireless advocate for Long Island wine, died at his home in Southold over the weekend at the age of 90. Mudd planted his first vines the year after...
By Donavan Hall, Long Island Beer Correspondent I moved to Long Island so that I would have more time to write fiction. When my path crossed with Lenn Thompson, my beer brewing hobby intruded into my writing life. I started...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Want to find the best wineries in a region, particularly ones from a cooler climate? Taste the red wines from less-than-ideal vintages. If the reds wines made in shorter, cooler and/or rainier growing seasons are...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor A "dark pale ale" -- sure, why not? Ellicottville Brewing Company has a competent hand with sessionable, balanced, and tasty pale ales, so I had high hopes for this latest example of the dark-and-hoppy trend....
By Donavan Hall, Long Island Beer Correspondent With Alice's birthday coming up, I decided to take the twins over to Port Jeff for lunch and a little shopping. The day was warm, but not hot, clear skies, perfect for sitting...
By David Flaherty, New York City Correspondent Eataly is a phenomenon. A 50,000-square foot mecca to artisinal ingredients packed in the heart of NYC, adjacent to Madison Square Park. It is a foodie's wonderland. To wander its packed lanes is...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor The next in our series of New York Cork Report Artisan Dinners will take place once again at Luce & Hawkins on Wednesday, August 31 at 7 p.m. This time around, we'll be joined by...

By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor It has been raining for more than 36 hours here at my house and it's showing few signs of letting up. I don't measure rainwater totals here, but I can say definiteively that it's rained...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor In a matter of weeks, Heron Hill Winery customers will find many of the winery's wines closed under screwcap. The winery recently completed the installation of a screwcap bottling line (pictured above) that owner John...
By Evan Dawson, Finger Lakes Editor Hicks and McCarthy restaurant in Pittsford (outside Rochester) will host a public viewing party for Deb Whiting's appearance on the Food Network show "Chopped." The episode, taped months ago, will air Tuesday night at...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor I spent a beautiful pre-rains Saturday evening at Roanoke Vineyards this past weekend to attend the latest in their series of "Smackdown" events; events where wine industry folks blind taste wines head-to-head while attendees taste...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor 1,000 cases is not a lot of wine. But that's about how much Jim Waters makes every year at Waters Crest Winery, making him one of the smallest producers on Long Island. For a little...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor There's something about starting a day with a great beer that perfectly combines laziness and sophistication. Last Saturday I had planned an epic beer bar bike tour of Buffalo and I wanted a breakfast of...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Channing Daughters Winery's winemaker, Christopher Tracy, is probably best known for his varied and often-delicious white wines -- not to mention his orange wines. His reds are a bit less successful, but his Blaufrankisch is...
By Mark Grimaldi, Director, Marketing and Events The subject of wine on tap (WOT) has always been one for debate, especially here on the New York Cork Report. Having been involved with kegged wines since they first started to become...

By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor July's Times Union New York Wine Club selections are on their way to members, so it's time once again time to announce the selections and share a bit about them. For our Basic-Level Members this...
By Bryan Calandrelli, Niagara Region Editor We all know it. Chardonnay has an image problem. It lost its way by rooting itself all over the world without regard for its culture, forgetting what made it so great in the first...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Winemaker private labels are all the rage on Long Island these days, with Suhru Wines started by Russell Hearn of Pellegrini Vineyards and Premium Wine Group, Grapes of Roth started by Roman Roth of Wolffer...
By Donavan Hall, Long Island Beer Correspondent One of my brewing heros here on Long Island is Paul Dlugokencky who back in 2008 launched Blind Bat Brewery out of his garage in Centerport. When Paul went pro he was still...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor Yesterday I bottled a Niagara Escarpment 2010 cabernet sauvignon made with New York oak -- specifically, oak from the Cayuga Lake area of the Finger Lakes. I'm psyched about the incorporation of one more local...

This week's "What We Drank" is a little heavy on cabernet franc, but that's no real surprise with the franc fanatics on the team. Here's what our editors and contributors have been drinking. Bryan Calandrelli: Cave des Vignerons 2005 Saumur...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor Lenn and I are always leery of new trends in social media and wine, but we also deeply admire the work done by our friends at VinTank and Cruvee. Those guys are working with wineries...
