By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor The Lenz Winery, located in Peconic on Long Island's North Fork, has built its reputation primarily on the back of it's merlot and sparkling wine programs -- and with good reason. Winemaker Eric Fry's merlot,...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor The evolution and expansion of this website, particularly over the last three years, has been a lot of fun. New writers. An ever-growing readership. It's been great. The site has never been better. But, the...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor This year's first harvest report comes courtesy of Carlo DeVito, owner of Hudson-Chatham Winery in Ghent, NY. "Hudson-Chatham Winery, Brookview Station Winery and Tousey Winery have started their cassis crush. Black currants usually come in...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor I apologize for reporting this over a month after it happened -- and only one day before the memorial -- but I thought it important to publish. From the Suffolk Times: "Charles H. Flatt of...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Anthony Nappa and Sarah Evans' new venture The Winemaker Studio opened its doors to the public for the first time last Wednesday. Evans, the chef de cuisine at North Fork Table and Nappa, the former...
By Donavan Hall, Long Island Beer Correspondent Every few months or so our little brewery goes through a number of cylinders of compressed CO2 gas. It's an easy enough thing to load up the cylinders in the brewery truck and...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Today Donavan Hall, our original beer editor years ago, returns to the NYCR team as a beer correspondent covering the Long Island beer scene. I met Donavan many years ago, perhaps before I ever started...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor It's weeks like this one when I'm eternally grateful for the rest of the NYCR team. After the 2011 Wine Bloggers Conference in Charlottesville, VA last weekend, I headed west with Nena and Jackson to...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor In honor of the beloved upcoming beer festival Belgium Comes to Cooperstown, I decided to ease the pain of missing the event (not that I’m complaining—I’ll be in Asheville, NC, which is apparently the new...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor NOFO Rock and Folk Fest, the second annual two-day music festival will kick off at Peconic Bay Winery tomorrow at 11 a.m. My family and I had a great time at last year's event and...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor Last week, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation that, he says, goes a long way toward helping New York state wineries succeed. The changes come from recommendations made in 2008 by the New York Wine Grape...
By Evan Dawson, Finger Lakes Editor The small French commune of Tain-l'Hermitage is known for its pitched vineyards that yield some of the world's finest syrah. It is not nearly so well known as the birthplace of copper ovens. "France's...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor Buffalo's Community Beer Works received its TTB approval this month, taking the fledgling brewery one step closer to legit beerdom. Brewer and founder/owner Rudy Watkins was kind enough to send some prototype suds my way...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor I think I can speak for my fellow editors and contributors when I say that we'd publish this website even if only our friends and family read it. Cliche or not, it's a labor of...
By David Flaherty At 8 pm, amidst the sweltering steam bath of NYC, the Half Moon set sail on the East River. Aboard were 27 cases of German Riesling, 2 kegs of Gotham Project Riesling, about 40 tons of ice,...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Later today I'll be heading south on I-95 to attend this year's Wine Bloggers Conference later this week in Charlottesville, VA. It's been a few years since I've attended WBC but I'm looking forward to...
Editor's Note: The following is an op-ed written by Rob Tebeau from the blog Fringe Wine, a site focusing on the lesser-known regions and grapes in the wine world, based on his first visit to the Finger Lakes wine region....
By Evan Dawson, Finger Lakes Editor The word "authentic" is bandied about with too much regularity when we discuss wine these days, and yet I feel compelled to use it here. That's because there is nothing in the world of...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor By now you've probably heard about the faux scandal involving Congressman Paul Ryan and his expensive bottles of Burgundy at a D.C. restaurant. If you somehow missed it, here's a quick summary: Rep. Paul Ryan...
By Bryan Calandrelli, Niagara Region Editor It’s still hot in New York this week -- really hot. We’ll hit 90º in Niagara and luckily for those of us who turn to local alcoholic beverages for relief, there are a few...
The always-beautiful spot next to the pond at Pugliese Vineyards By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor If you're like me, when you first move to a new wine region, you intrepidly explore it -- visiting different tasting rooms every weekend and...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor We had picture-perfect weather in Long Island wine country this weekend. In fact, these were some of hte only clouds I remember. This is a shot from the parking lot at McCall Wines where I...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor As much affection as I feel for the wines of New York State, there are only a handful of wineries with "any wine" status -- status that means I will happily drink any wine from...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor This morning in his weekly email newsletter, Shinn Estate Vineyards co-owner David Page accounced the appointment Patrick Caserta (pictured right, from Facebook) as the winery's new winemaker, replacing Anthony Nappa. Nappa had been with Shinn...
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. Channing Daughters Winery 2009 Lagrein ($30): Very peppery on the nose (almost syrah-like)...
By Aaron Estes, Cheese Editor I have a problem with Alpine-style cheeses. And when I say “problem,” I should probably say “obsession.” I still remember the first time that I ever had a Rolf Beeler (incredibly important Swiss affineur) 18...
By Mark Tichenor, Beer Correspondent American beer fans are fortunate; the best and most famous craft brews are available from coast to coast. Still, it's a pleasure to find excellent beers brewed and served on a small scale, with a...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor It it hot on Long Island this week -- really hot -- and has been for a few weeks not. Couple that with my wife Nena being pregnant and you get where I am today...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor This Saturday evening, I'll be making the drive down to the Hamptons to attend the inaugural Dan's Taste of Two Forks event at Sayre Park in Bridgehampton. Organized by Dan's Papers (full disclosure: I'm their...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor By any measure, last night's NYCR Artisan Dinner at Luce + Hawkins -- featuring the wines of Heart & Hands Wine Company -- was a success. The packed house enjoyed an incredible meal prepared by...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor As a general rule, I don't like double entendre on wine labels. It gimmicky and usually only clever in a too-obvious or not-all-that-funny sort of way. With the city skyline on the label, we are...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor Last Thursday, a grassroots group went to Albany to ask state leaders to prevent hydrofracking from coming to New York state. Many of the marchers were professionals in the Finger Lakes wine industry, which tends...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Today Mark Tichenor joins our masthead as a Beer Correspondent covering the beer scene in Rochester and beyond. I've been a reader of Mark both on Twitter and on his site, Beercraft, for a few...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor The Signature Series is Custom Brewcrafters' higher-end line of beers, allowing the brewers to stretch their wings outside the regular CB flagships and contract brews. This saison pours a gorgeous three-finger head with perfect lacing,...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor Channing Daughters Winery's winemaker, Christopher Tracy, makes several chardonnay-based wines in a wide range of styles. For my money, his all-steel Scuttlehole Chardonnay is consistently the best and is the wine against which I judge...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor We still have a few seats available for our next "New York Beverage Artisan Dinner" at Luce & Hawkins on Monday, July 11 at 7p.m. Tom Higgins, co-owner and winemaker at Heart & Hands Wine...
The tasting room at Benmarl Winery. By Julia Burke, Beer Editor Day two of my Hudson Valley adventure was all about wine tasting, but before wine there has to be coffee, and we kicked off the day with a trip...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor This week, we dedicate our What We Drank feature to Red Newt Cellars, winemaker Dave Whiting and especially Debra Whiting, who was taken from us and the world far too soon. And, we've invited members...
From Jim Silver, General Manager, Peconic Bay Winery: "Here’s a picture of our Block 1 Chardonnay on Oregon Road being grafted over to Pinot Noir 777 and Pinot Noir 667 (2.2 acres), and Cabernet Franc #2 and Cabernet Franc #4...
The crowd at Winebar's opening last Thursday night. By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor When Theresa Dilworth closed The Tasting Room on Peconic Lane, some wondered where they'd be able to taste and buy wines from producers like Bouke Wines and...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor Photo by Morgan Dawson Photography You could forgive Judy Wiltberger for feeling skeptical about what she just heard. It was summer, 1989, and maybe the warm air and stunning views had imbued the region with...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor We are devastated to report the loss of Deb Whiting, co-owner and chef of Red Newt Cellars and Red Newt Bistro. Deb died in a car accident last night while returning home from Vermont with...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor It is my personal opinion that there is way too much chardonnay planted on Long Island. I know all the reasons why its there -- easy to grow, customer demand, etc. -- but chardonnay is...
By Evan Dawson, Managing Editor This list is a kind of public to-do list for me. It is not perfect or complete. This is not the list of the five best places to eat, or anything like that. But anyone...

By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor May's Times Union New York Wine Club selections are on their way to members today and tomorrow, so it's once again time to announce the selections and share a bit about them. For our Basic-Level...
By Lenn Thompson, Executive Editor One more reminder and then we're done talking about this for a while. Today is your last chance to go vote for us -- if you think us worthy of course -- along with your...
By Julia Burke, Beer Editor Residents of the City of Buffalo may have noticed a strange phenomenon last week: all beer-loving residents suddenly became completely unavailable at work, at home and in their social lives. Every craft beer enthusiast in...
