A true and extensive field blend of red, white and pink berried hybrid grapes from the Amorici Vineyard in Washington County, NY. Included in the blend is Marquette, Leon Millot, La Crescent, Frontenac Gris, Cayuga, Noiret, and many more. All the grapes are vinified with wild yeasts at the winery in Pine Bush. Bottled without filtering or fining, and only a small amount of sulfites are added at crush, nothing at bottle. A great light red best drink chilled with markedly cranberry and plum notes and a touch of funk.

Riesling from the Sawmill Creek Vineyard in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Allowed to macerate as whole clusters for two days before pressing. Fermented fully dry with native yeasts and only a touch of sulfur at the crush. Bottled unfiltered and unfined. A great example of cold climate white yet not as high-toned as dry Rieslings from the Mosel can be.
