You might be wondering where David Flaherty, our New York City Correpondent, has been the last couple of months. He's in Europe, with his wife, visiting breweries, vineyards and other food and wine meccas. You can keep up with their...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor The NYCR team doesn't necessarily need a special occasion or invitation to eat or drink local, but Eat Drink Local Week starts today -- and we're absolutely behind it and hope it encourages more New...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor You may not know who Erik Bilka is, but chances are he's helped make at least some of your favorite Long Island wines. Bilka, who launched Influence Wines in 2009, has been working at Premium...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor In case you missed it, the NYCR is a finalist in the "Best Single Subject Wine Blog" category in this years Wine Blog Awards. We're honored but quick to remind you that NYCR isn't about...
Just a few of the potential selections at the upcoming Empire State Cellars store in Riverhead. By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor The Long Island Wine Council estimates that 1.2 million people visited Long Island wine country last year. The Finger...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor The Lenz Winery in Peconic has a new tasting room manager. His name is Jerol Rickard and he brings experience in project management, market research and litigation to the job -- experience that should serve...
Video courtesy of The Feast By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Now that summer is upon is, Terroir Wine Bar's annual Summer of Riesling program back -- and bigger than ever. The brain child of Terroir's Wine Director and Co-Owner Paul...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor It is with great humility that I announce that the NYCR is a finalist in the "Best Single Subject Wine Blog" category in this years Wine Blog Awards. Obviously our team doesn't do what we...
By Evan Dawson, Finger Lakes Editor On special occasions, Anthony Road Wine Company winemaker Johannes Reinhardt hauls out a long, unlabeled bottle. It's marked only with the letters "SP." Those letters represent one important and potentially game-changing word. Spontaneous. In...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor These are tasting notes for some wines that have graced the NYCR tasting table recently but won't be reviewed in standalone posts. Lucas Vineyards 2009 Dry Riesling ($14): Intense fennel frond aromas are backed by...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor To build on the success of the first of our "New York Beverage Artisan Dinners" at Luce & Hawkins, we knew we wanted to do a wine dinner -- but not just any wine dinner....
By Bryan Calandrelli, Niagara Region Editor I?ve been able to experience firsthand the rapid expansion and improvement in quality in the last four years in the Niagara region. There is plenty to be optimistic about. Just four short years ago,...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor I had absolutely no expectations as I drove east on the thruway on my very first trip to the Hudson Valley wine country. David Jackson of Hudson-Chatham Winery and his wife Kathy were kind enough...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Another impressive 2009 riesling from New York? Yes. And this one is from Long Island. Because he mostly works with Bordeaux reds and chardonnay locally, people wondered what German-born winemaker Roman Roth (Wolffer Estate, Roanoke...
Here's a sampling of what our editors and contributors are drinking: David Flaherty: Paulinshof Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett Trocken 2010 I am finally seeing the Mosel Valley firsthand. Like a kid who has looked at magazines of Disneyland for years...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor We've added several writers to the NYCR team over the years, but today we welcome Mark Grimaldi to the website as our director of marketing and events -- with his focus set squarely on events....
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor I made my first visit to Chatham Brewing recently and based on what I tasted I know it won't be my last. This small, neighborhood-friendly brewery has a dynamite lineup with balance and great flavor...
By Evan Dawson, Finger Lakes Editor That photo is me with Hermann Wiemer, who stopped by a wine tasting/Summer in a Glass book event at Red Feet Wines Market in Ithaca last night. It was the first time I've seen...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Finger Lakes riesling. 2009 vintage. I won't pretend to have tasted every riesling made in the Finger Lakes in 2009, but I have yet to find one that I'd turn down, with many more in...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Long Island rose is a beautiful thing.. beautiful in its insane diversity. From sweet to dry and every residual sugar level in between the East End of Long Island has you covered. But the diversity...
This week's sampling of what our editors and contributors have been drinking... Lenn Thompson: Sixpoint Craft Ales Bengali Tiger IPA Because my wife isn't drinking at the moment (we are expecting our second child in December) I seem to be...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor With its wind turbine and in-progress biodynamic and organic certification, Shinn Estate Vineyards gets plenty of well-deserved attention for its sustainable and community-friendly practices. What sometimes gets lost in all that green is just how...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor A porter brewed with 100% brettanomyces, this is a collaboration beer brewed at Ithaca Beer Company with brewer Bobby Barrar of Iron Hill Brewing Company in Media, PA. It takes on the delicious combination of...
By Aaron Estes, Cheese Editor One of the things I love most about the cheese made in New York state is the diversity. We have cheesemakers all over this great state, from Long Island to the shores of the Finger...
A reminder at Tawse Winery One of the first wines I tasted when I arrived in Niagara-on-the-Lake for TasteCamp 2011 was a riesling. Its crushing acidity very nearly made ceviche out of my tongue. Now before I start to sound...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor Responding to increased demand for their beer thanks to a growing local following and massive critical acclaim, Captain Lawrence Brewing Company has announced a move and an expansion. The Pleasantville, NY brewery is moving five...
A cross-section of North Fork soil composition, part of a new display at Bedell Cellars By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor In late 2007, wine writer Alice Feiring said about Long Island wine in a story about the "World's Most Overrated...
Anthony Nappa behind the bar at The Winemaker Studio in Peconic. By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Last night I stopped in at Anthony Nappa and Sarah Evans' soon-to-open The Winemaker Studio -- housed in the space formerly occupied by The...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor Like every TasteCamp attendee, I?m a wine lover, but I?m also a beginning home winemaker with a personal interest in discovering what it takes to make world-class wine in my home region of Niagara. This...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor When is the ideal time to open a well-made Finger Lakes riesling? It seems like a silly question, doesn't it? The answer is often, and appropriately, "Whenever you feel like it." And start with this:...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor There are few Long Island wines with as much of a cult-ish following as Paumanok Vineyards 2010 Chenin Blanc ($25). The Massoud family has had unequivocal success with this "interesting accident" and yet, it remains...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor May's Times Union New York Wine Club selections are on their way to members and that means it's time to tell you a bit about them. For our Basic-Level Members this month, we have a...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor 2010 Finger Lakes rieslings are starting to trickle into the market, but I'm still enjoying tasting through the 2009s, which are showing great balance and intensely -- almost across the board. In general, 2009 wasn't...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Long Island's only co-op tasting room will re-open soon, but it's going to look quite different from The Tasting Room, which was closed by then-owner Theresa Dilworth at the end of February. Anthony Nappa, winemaker...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Yesterday evening, 30 or so lovers of local food and beer convened in the dining room at Luce & Hawkins for the NYCR's first-ever New York Beverage Artisan dinner featuring Paul Dlugokencky (pictured right) and...
By Bryan Calandrelli, Niagara Region Editor Niagara Ontario does not use the term ?terroir? lightly. For a relatively new wine region, it has established one of the most detailed appellation and sub-appellation systems in the new world. Any serious discussion...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor In Niagara, winemakers use the word "terroir" often. We heard it just about everywhere we went. It's a word spoken far less often in New York state, where winemakers speak of sense of place or...
For this week's WWD, our contributors and editors all picked a wine from TasteCamp 2011 -- and not surprisingly we each focused on something different: Lenn Thompson: Ravine Vineyard 2007 Reserve Merlot The first day of TasteCamp 2011 was spent...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor This is a selection of New York wines that have crossed the NYCR tasting table recently but will not be reviewed as part of a standalone post. As always, these are transcribed almost directly from...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor While some argue that it's vitally important for emerging regions to identify and focus on a 'signature variety' I think it's more important for any region to take its time, experiment and let the evolution...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor I just read on the Suffolk Times website that Ralph Pugliese, founder of Puglisese Vineyards, has died. He was 73. Here's the full story: "Ralph Pugliese, who co-founded Pugliese Vineyards with his wife, Patricia, died...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor With TasteCamp North 2011 attendees, including most of the NYCR team, back home and pondering the stories that we'd all like to write -- and they are numerous -- I wanted to share some of...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor I know we haven't had a lot of new content here this week -- but we have a reason. TasteCamp North kicks off today and there have been last-minute preparations, travel and other assorted things...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor I received a press release from the Long Island Wine Council today about this year's Run for the Roses Festival and wanted to pass it along the list of participating wineries and the specials they...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor For several years now, I've allowed an idea for a series of local beer, wine and spirit dinner macerate in my mind. I wanted them to be somehow different from the dinners already happening --...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor When you're the winemaker at Lucas Vineyards, making nearly 30,000 cases of wine every year -- with nearly 30 different bottlings -- it's not easy to give each lot the attention it deserves, as Jeff...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Valvin Muscat is a hybrid -- known genetically as 62-122.01 -- developed in the early 1960s at the Cornell Experimental Station in Geneva and was released commercially in 2006. It is a cross of muscat...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor The Long Island wine community often overflows with more of the same -- vineyard walks, mediocre music acts, tenuous food/chocolate pairing events, and the like. These activities clearly attract customers -- wineries wouldn't spend the...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor What's better than maibock season after a long winter and a late-bloomer spring? This one from Flying Bison Brewing Company is a deep, bloody orange-amber color with a delicate one-finger head and faint lacing. The...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor Photo from left to right: Justin Boyette, Phil Davis, Rick Rainey, Louis Barruol Louis Barruol, vigneron of the critically acclaimed Chateau de Saint Cosme winery in France's Rhone Valley, has agreed to a partnership to...
