A Contractor was at the Winery yesterday and asked "Where do you get your flavors from?"  Now at first blush a winemaker might respond from the soil, the Sun and the weather.  But then I realized this fellow was being quite literal.  He thought that flavors were something you purchased and put into the wine like a margarita mix.

 Here are the recipes from the New York Riesling Experience courtesy of our Chef Suzanne Donovan.  The event was a great success and people really enjoyed her pairings with the different Rieslings.  One of the big hits of the event was a dry sparkling Riesling which we made just for the event.  It was so popular that we intend to bottle some for a Wino Club selection in the future.

I'm excited about the 2010 NY Riesling Experience because Riesling is the most interesting, nuanced and thought provoking grape in the world.
