JR Dill we finally meet!

We finally made it to the J.R. Dill Winery today and talked to Jeff (the J. in J.R.) while Jimmy Buffet serenaded us in the background. While we tasted the wines in our J.R. Dill glasses (that we could take home after the tasting), we discussed the beautiful Seneca Lake glass bar-top and how J.R. got started. It was a hobby gone wild while economic times offered the opportunity and voila! 8 months ago J.R. Dill Winery was born. We enjoyed tasting the 5 wines: Cab Franc, Dechaunac, Chardonnay, Riesling and Jabber Waulkie Blush. All were dry with the Jabber Waulkie being the "sweetest" at 3.7% residual sugar. We bought the blush and the Chardonnay (unoaked - aged in stainless steel and very clean, crisp and fruit forward). We will definately return! P.S. - the Jabber Waulkie is the monster of Seneca Lake!
