Can’t believe it’s been almost 20 years since I bought these. Obviously lighter than it was, but has come back from a spell where they weren’t more than vinegar. Just happy it’s drinkable, and curious what the current vintages are like — 6 years ago
Almost clear in color with the slightest golden hue. Medium nose with subtle hints of grapefruit and vodka. Very thick on the palate, but a classic Dry Riesling throughout. Rather short finish, but very nice. — 6 years ago

My first love when it comes to Finger Lakes Reds. Not a great vintage for Reds, but the shorter growing season for pinot snuck this one in under the radar. Lots of cherries and a hint of maybe olives? It has some lively acidity that makes it dance on your tongue. It's got the red strength without being overpowering. Beautiful with seafood. — 9 years ago

23 November 2017. Vine Wine, Brooklyn, NY. — 6 years ago
Friday night random whites...
Fresh, clean and refreshing, light White peach notes. Nose is attractive, but a little too cold on first taste, so slightly closed initially.
Off-dry blend of NY's Finger Lakes region Cayuga & Vignoles, nose is really opening up nicely with some air and warming of the wine in the glass. Not overly complex, but this is a solid buy for the $10/$13 (wine club/retail) price. — 7 years ago
Tastes like a chocolate covered grape! — 8 years ago
Excellent and complex. Minerality and many different fruit overtones. Decently dry for Riesling. — 8 years ago
Has that petrol you would expect out of an aged riesling. This plus some fruity Granny Smith apples! — 9 years ago

When you hike in the Finger Lakes, you can easily think you're in Burgundy or Alsace. The topography is very close and the climate is just a little more continental. So the choice of grape varieties follows naturally. Pear, apple, and a little pineapple fruit come across in this wine. It has some stony and steely minerality, but less than typical for this region. There's a lot of vanilla and butter, with smoke and oak. These latter elements are too strong in my opinion. And the acidity is a little too weak. If that and the fruit were stronger this would be on par with Chablis. So it's a little off balance. But I enjoyed it very much with a salmon salad. — 8 years ago
I was impressed by this Cabernet Franc from the Finger Lakes. For wine lovers who like very light reds. Perfumed lavender nose with bright raspberry flavors and smooth texture. Pop in frig for 10 minutes before serving for full enjoyment. This is just the type of red I want to drink during the summer. — 9 years ago
Love it. pH 3.0 - wow. Acid, lemon and lime peel. And a healthy dose of petrol. — 9 years ago
Exceptional year in upstate New York! Wagner only makes their Meritage blend from the best of the best years! A cooler climate red blend with great balance between darker fruit flavors, tannins and oak. — 10 years ago
