After fourteen years, Red Tail Ridge's efforts were acknowledged by the James Beard Foundation with a semifinalist nod in the category of Outstanding Wine, Spirits or Beer Producer.
Winery near Seneca Lake, several years ago. Her intellect, business experience, and pragmatism impressed, as did her line-up of cool climate European varietal wines. At the time, and to this day, it’s odd to find red grapes like Lagrein and Teroldego growing in New York. But her science background and experience with experimental vineyards informed her decision to make those wines in a climate similar to their origin.
When we decided to relocate to the Finger Lakes, we knew that Riesling would be our focus for white wine production; but we thought a lot about how we wanted to go forward with red varieties. With our glacial, calcareous soils and our cool climate, we have a relatively short growing season. We wanted to focus on varieties that could provide full flavor ripeness in a relatively short period of time.
Stylistically, I am talking about wines that see extended tirage time, with very lean dosage levels-Brut, Extra Brut, Brut Nature. Our sparklings have distinctly unique personalities, and they are world class. They will stand the test of time. Here at RTR, we are convinced that sparkling is the future for this region. We are more and more, committing wine to tirage.
Selling Riesling also has its challenges. But it is a challenge that the Finger Lakes must tackle, because it’s what our terroir demands. Unfortunately, many folks still see a Riesling on the shelf and physiologically pigeonhole it as “sweet”. But Riesling can be soooo much more than that. It is a changeling and can be many personalities, ranging from a minerally lean, racy über dry wine, all the way to a heavy tropical and honeyed dessert wine.

MTV VMAs Red Carpet Looks: Best Celebrity StylesI’ve been grousing for years that awards shows are becoming more conservative overall, and that includes Monday night’s MTV VMAs—which seemed to lean into conservative via host Sebastian Maniscalco, an unfunny comedian and actor in Green Book (of course) who spent part of his boring opening monologue making fun of people who are “triggered” and joking about “safe spaces.” Welcome to 2015! Overall, though, some performances swept away the whiff—Missy Elliott’s characteristically spectacular medley, Lizzo’s fun body-affirmation set, Lil Nas X’s very fun, apparent Backstreet Boys homage. Did the outfits convey a similar sense of fun, or did we get another awards show dud? Let’s check it out.
