Every day it seems you read about new wineries in the newspaper. The Three Brother's Winery and Estate was mentioned the other day in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. So many road trips - so little time! Jim and I did get to one of the newer wineries this summer - White Springs Farm Estate Winery on Seneca Lake. It was officially established as an independent winery last year according to the 6/17/07 Democrat and Chronicle. Located on the tip of Seneca Lake in Geneva, NY it has location, location, location and the wine tasting room is beautifully constructed as you can see. We sampled 6 wines for $2.00 (the $2.00 was refundable toward a wine purchase). With Corey pouring the wines, we tried dry whites: 2006 Sauvignon Blanc, 2005 Chardonnay/Pinot Grigio, 2005 Dry Riesling, 2006 Gewurztraminer, then the semi sweet 2005 Riesling, and lastly the dry red 2004 Cabernet Franc. All were $12.99- $14.99 a bottle. The Sauv Blanc was very nice - light and crisp. Jim enjoyed the floral quality to it. The Chardonnay/Pinot Grigio is a 56% Chardonnay, 44% Pinot Grigio blend. The Chardonnay comes across first and it finishes lighter. We also enjoyed the Gewurztraminer with it's long spicy finish and crisp citrus flavors. The 2005 Riesling was fruity, but not too sweet and the Cab Franc was nicely smokey. The winery suggests food pairings on their tasting list - a nice touch. The winery also offered a Friday Night Flight Series which will finish on September 14th (6:30 pm) with "Reds for Every Taste". Tickets are $15 per person and reservations are required. We are sure this winery will do well! Visit it on your fall trip around Seneca Lake.
