William Pollard Jr | aka: Wild 4 Washington Wine

Another Name for Sunshine from the Finger Lakes. I have come to expect quality from the Finger Lakes wine region of New York. The last few years I have enjoyed expressive and delicious Rieslings, the shine of Finger Lakes sparklers and reveled in the depths of Finger Lakes  dessert and Ice wines . Naturally I was eager to sample the rose' wines sent to me from Fox Run Vineyards. My only impression of Fox Run Vineyards was from a sample of their Hedonia I reviewed last year . Made of 100% Traminette the Hedonia is a dessert wine (white Port style) best served over rocks with a slice of orange. A delicious and habit forming beverage. My expectations were high for their rose's. This weekend I was asked on twitter why a guy in Washington state was drinking wines from Finger Lakes, New York. "I love good wine." was my response. Without hesitation I encourage to seek out the wines of Fox Run Vineyards . Thank me later. Tasting Notes Fox...

Familiarity can induce neglect. This is one of the first red wines I drank on a regular basis twenty + years ago. With the growth of local and regional wineries, I have to admit that my focus has strayed elsewhere. I am guilty of ignoring one of my first favorite Red Mountain red wines. My loss. As October winds down thoughts of the coming holidays and holiday festivities are on my mind. This is also the season when friends and family ask me for wine recommendations. It's my pleasure today to recommend the 2010 Kiona Lemberger . I thoroughly enjoyed it over two days and smiled at the price I paid. Take this wine to the next party and your friends will be impressed at your good taste.
