2008 Zugibe freds red

Sadly, maybe because of the age, this has turned into just another finger lakes red wine. light nose, light mid-pallete and absolutely no finish.I was very excited when originally finding this winery, because thier wannes had taste! Like I said, maybe because this is now 4 years old, it has passed it's prime. I have another one of this same vintage I just bought.....I'll post when I open it..

rex goliath pinot noir (nv)

For a $5.39 wine, this was pretty good. typical cherry nose, mid pallette and finish. But, it had it all.I would certainly rebuy this one! I had this with a grilled chicken dinner, and it went well.

2011 knapp gewurztraminer

Well they say Gewurtz's are supposed to be good with spicy food, so we put this to a test with a fairly large group and a big batch of chili. Even with people who predominately like sweet wine, and this was a dry gewurtz, it was a big hit! Everyone agreed that it went well with the chili! Definitely a rebuy!

2011 knapp meritage

A bit of a surprise for me.A light nose, with a light mid-pallette, and surprisingly, a light finish....The big surprise here is a the finsh. NY state red wines are in my opinion famous for really having no fnish at all. So this one having even a light finish is a bit of a surprise, and nice. A little pricy, so might be a pass for a rebuy.
