    2005 Bedell Cellars B3: Bedell Blanc de Blanc – North Fork

    Maggie Hoffman
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    Though it’s a bit more expensive than most of the others, this wine is richer and beefier, with fragrant notes of almond croissants, toasted wheat bread with lemon marmalade, orange blossoms, hazelnut, and honeydew. It’s complex, slightly earthy, and well-read more-

    2006 Lamoreaux Landing Blanc de Blanc – Finger Lakes

    Wine Reviews

    This wine was a favorite; it’s a joy to drink. Lemon yogurt on the nose, and the flavor followed through: a flute of this wine is like a scoop of puckering lemon sorbet and a slice of cheesecake all in-read more-

    2002 Glenora Cellars Brut – Finger Lakes

    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    With Golden Delicious apples and honey on the nose, this blend of 54% Pinot Noir and 46% Chardonnay is food-friendly but not extremely complex. The flavor is a little musky, with notes of apples, radicchio, a squeeze of lemon, and-read more-

    Maggie Hoffman
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    This sparkling rosé, a blend of 54% Pinot Noir and 46% Chardonnay, is tart and elegant. It pours a light peach orange, just barely pigmented. There’s a hint of biscuits, cream, red berries, and lemon zest on the nose. It’s-read more-

    This svelte sparkler from the North Fork is 100% Pinot Noir, with a bready nose, hints of baking peaches, and golden delicious apples. It has very delicate bubbles and lots of minerality—seashells all over the palate. This is a zippy-read more-

    This blend of 50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir, and 5% Pinot Meunier is the kind of wine you want to bathe in, with a rich scent of baked cinnamon apples and brioche. It’s fragrant and a little decadent, soft and-read more-

    2006 Hermann J. Wiemer Cuvée Brut – Finger Lakes

    Maggie Hoffman
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    Though there’s a hint of strawberry-vanilla saltwater taffy on the nose, this is a seriously dry wine, with loads of minerals, Earl Grey tea and thyme, as well as a hint of Clementine (pith included). This wine is crystalline and-read more-

    2008 Olson Ogden Persuasion – North Coast, California

    David Honig
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    Very fruit-forward with mixed black and red fruit, mulberry and sweet cherry, with leathery tannins and a little black pepper. It is smooth, slightly sweet, a little young, and one-dimensional. There are no changes from attack to mid-palate and the-read more-
