Some exciting news from our nearby wine region.
We are pleased to share the news that WEIS VINEYARDS-- founded just seven years ago-- has earned its second NY Governor's Cup at the annual NY Wine Classic competition! (See HERE.) We mentioned WEIS in two recent essays, welcoming them into our exclusive designation of "Grand Cru" Finger Lakes wineries. (Click HERE for more.) Dear Ashlee & Peter-- congratulations, and keep up the fantastic work!
But wait-- there's more!
Labeled as "Medium-Sweet," yet perfectly balanced with brilliant
and refreshing acidity. This could be the perfect shellfish wine.
We recently enjoyed an especially fantastic Riesling from the Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery-- their 2022 Reserve Riesling, made from late-harvested, botrytis-affected grapes. The folks at this year's NY Wine Classic agreed, naming it NY's Wine of the Year! This bottling alone is enough to secure the Dr. Frank Winery a spot in our "Grand Cru" club, even though they certainly don't need any such validation from Danny's Table; indeed, this historic winery has long enjoyed well-earned credit for their historical importance and consistently excellent wine-making. Coming Soon-- a feature essay about the Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery.
Congratulations
