Specifically designed at Cornell University for the cold-climate conditions of New York State's Finger Lakes region, Cayuga is extensively grown there. This hybrid – a cross between the Seyval Blanc and Schuyler cultivars -- has been read more...embraced by winemakers in eastern states and other frost-susceptible parts of North America. It is hardy, disease-resistant and produces quality fruit. It is known for its very large, high-yielding clusters. Early picking is important to maintain the grape’s acidity, fruit character and floral bouquet often associated with Riesling. Cayuga has proven to be a versatile varietal, capable of producing off-dry white wines, sparklers and, on occasion, even oak-aged table wines.

You were born in the Finger Lakes, and bred to tough it out in the rough game of these northern vineyard ponds. However, it must have come as a shock to your parents the way you have developed into a natural beauty with an undeniable feminine charm. You now excel in a sport most scouts and coaches hadn’t originally envisioned for you. Your flexibility and grace have made you a fan favorite as the region’s home grown ice dancer.    (hide)

This is a drier Rosé than one usually finds, and I liked it the more because ... is a blend of Seyval Blanc, Cayuga, and Cabernet Franc, and in addition to providing the color, the Cab Franc gives it that earthy depth...

Like the Jones Winery Pinot Gris, the color is a pale yellow, but the Stonewall White is slightly deeper in color. The nose is fruity with notes of berries and light citrus notes, perhaps grapefruit. In the mouth, the...

This is soft and fresh blend of 4 grapes, with a touch of sweetness, almost semi-dry, with a crisp and clean finish. Great summer wine. 3.5

Believe it or not, this wine is the best pairing for pickles I have ever had. There is a distinct sodium element on the palate which fades away to gorgeous supple fruit when paired with pickles. Must be tried to be...

A New Jersey White, this is a dry Cayuga. The nose is very light. On the palate, the wine is crisp with notes of green apple and citrus. An interesting wine, but not one of my favorites - I found it a bit tart for my...
