After years of serving wines in our restaurant, we are thrilled to finally be adding three of our own to the list. Our own grapes are not yet ready, so we worked with a local winemaker to develop bottles that could be enjoyed with a meal or on their own. The results are two table wines and a fruity red for those who like a sweeter flavor.
Pumpkin Hill's Farmhouse Red
Proud Red is something to crow about! Our winemaker put together a superb blend of Finger Lakes grown Leon Millot, Dechaunac, Baco Noir and Marachal Foch. The results we think are most pleasing. A clear, bright red, dry on the pallet, yet smooth on the finish, with a light aroma of harvested berries and the subtle flavors of cherries and plums.
Pumpkin Hill's Farmhouse White
This big rooster is very proud! Made from 100% Cayuga White, it's the perfect wine for the porch on a summer's day or a cozy nook inside when the weather turns. You'll first be greeted by the aroma of peaches and strawberries. A taste will reveal an additional hint of mandarin followed by a clean and dry finish.
Pumpkin Hill's Wild Chick
This one is full of personality! Our wine maker took our house blend red and added a generous dose of Finger Lakes Concord and we were so excited about the results that we had to call it our "Wild Chick". From the moment it hits the glass, you can't help but notice its burnt red color and the explosion of fragrance that could only come with the Concord addition. A taste reveals the full flavor of Concord grapes, plums, and cherries. This little number is definitely on the sweeter team, but we feel it will be pleasing to many pallets who also enjoy a dryer wine. We've been told it's like Sangria in a bottle. So, maybe our Wild Chick has a little Spanish accent... salud!
Cheers!
