Hudson Valley Cider

Balletto Vineyards

Cider Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017

These always get better with age. The “sharpness” of the fruit and tannins melt away and the wine is so much more harmonious — 10 months ago

TOR Kenward Family Wines

Hudson Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

For a red lover, and not a fan of Chards, this wine knocked me off my feet! I absolutely Loved it! If I could describe my perfect request for a white wine, it would be this one. Butterscotch, almond, a slight fruity hint of lemon zest but not sharp or tart, buttery and bright yet incredibly smooth and a nice heavy feel. This is my favorite white wine ever! (And ranks above some of my fave reds). — 4 years ago

Red fruit and candy on the nose with a little black pepper. Full bodied, fruit forward, with good acidity and integrated soft tannins. Darker fruit and some herbs. — 6 years ago

Robert Foley Vineyards

Hudson Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Earthy, herbaceous, and with aeration, bing cherry enough to pull the novice drinker over to the geek side of funk and farm Pinot. — 2 years ago

Carneros Chardonnay 2017

Very enjoyable. Lovely nose with lemon custard, candied pineapple, overripe pear, and nuanced buttery popcorn. Great structure and awesome balance. Worthy of buying in bulk. — 5 years ago

Glad you enjoyed. When you can find this for the right price, it’s killer.

That’s the trick at this point: finding it at the right price. At present I can only find it for $60-$70/bottle so I may need to look online for better pricing.

I can sometimes find it for $45 at Ellerbe’s locally. Inconsistent though.

Soft and bubbly, apple champagne. Flavorful but subtle enough that it can be paired as a desert wine. — 6 years ago

Bedrock Wine Co.

Hudson Vineyard North Carneros "Pleine de Chêne" Syrah 2008

Extra time has done this one well, taming the original 200% new oak. One of the three Bedrock expressions from the Hudson Vineyard. For ‘08. With all previous bottles from that group consumed five or more years ago, glad I saved this one. Loved it. — 6 years ago

H Block Hudson Vineyards Cabernet Franc Merlot 2006

Not my favorite Arietta. Tons of vanilla sort of overwhelms the fruit on the palate. Great nose, though. A bit hot on the finish. — 6 years ago

Clos Normand

Brut French Fermented Cider

Santa Claud sings jazz to you in a small bar in Normandy, and you're cold but ruddy. Is this stand up or true mirth? It's the holiday you imagine in a bar near Skid Row in Downtown LA when you take a sip of this and are transported by a northern bite to your tongue. Irony or sincerity--it's so fresh but so sweet! I could go for more fizz, but one only feels permitted to request such things when engulfed by luxury — 9 years ago
