Finger Lakes Wine Month Grand Tasting: August 6th from 12-6

Finger Lakes Wine Month Grand Tasting: August 6th from 12-6 | WineTransit.com

In March, the Premier Group was named winner of the 2022 Unity Award for Retailing Excellence in Promoting New York Wine!

Presented by the New York Wine & Grape Foundation (NYWGF), the Unity Awards were created in 1990 as a way for the community to recognize, encourage, and celebrate cooperation among grape growers, wineries, researchers, retailers, and others to advance the entire industry. The Retailer Award is presented to wine stores which do an exceptional job in educating consumers about the quality and variety of New York wines.

We haven't stopped celebrating and plan to continue by kicking off Finger Lakes Wine Month with our largest NYS wine tasting ever! We'll have over 50 complementary wines available to sample on August 6th between 12:00 - 6:00 at specially reduced prices.

This is an event you don't want to miss! #flxwinemonth @flxwinemonth

  4. Dr. Konstantin Frank Semi-Dry Riesling

    2021 / 750 ml. | Item#31526

    WE8989 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 3/1/2023
    Reminiscent of a cider press, this is rich and aromatic, the honey-flecked orchard fruit accompanied by candied peach and pineapple, with whispers of something more floral and waxy. Tangy, lemony acidity lifts the creamy texture in the mouth, those stone-fruit and cider-y notes flowing to the finish. There’s certainly sweetness, but it doesn’t dominate. Drink now with a salty blue cheese to balance the confection. (Christina Pickard)

  5. Dr. Konstantin Frank Dry Riesling

    2021 / 750 ml. | Item#51647

    JS9191 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, August 9, 2022
    A lot of floral delicacy and lemon and lime zest, but also some good white-peach fruit behind those high notes. Good depth on the mid-palate for the challenging vintage, with some wet-stone character at the long, crisp finish. Made from fruit grown on Kueka Lake and Seneca Lake. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
    WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 3/1/2023
    Delicately crafted from one of the Finger Lakes’s best known producers, this opens with a lifted aromas of white peach, lemon-lime and florals, with a honeyed underbelly. The palate is dry with a lofty line of laser-like, lemony acidity and a slightly chalky texture. Crying out flavorful fish dishes like spicy fish tacos or Thai red curry. (Christina Pickard)
    RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 12th May 2022
    The 2021 Dry Riesling comes in with eight grams per liter of residual sugar, 7.9 of total acidity and 12% alcohol. I haven’t been liking a lot of what I’m seeing from this vintage (to be sure, there haven’t been a lot of examples yet), but this seems awfully nice. Fresh, balanced and lively, this adds a juicy, tense finish, and the fruit occasionally asserts itself. It’s elegant in the mid-palate, dancing across the tongue. I’ll be interested to see if this can hold form or improve in a couple of years, but right now it is a fine choice at a nice price point. Of course, it is a serious Dry Riesling. If you like them sweeter or fruitier, this is not for you. (Mark Squires)

  6. Fox Run Semi-Dry Riesling

    2020 / 750 ml. | Item#43125

    WS9393 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 06/22
    A spectacular value, this riesling has the concentration and elegance of wines three times the price. It leads with tree-fruit scents—pear, lime and lime leaf, apple—and carries a caramelly accent throughout. Its flavors are focused, concentrated, effortless, with a sweetness that one never notices, that rounds the wine, keeping it balanced and on point for a sumptuous meal, like a crown roast of pork.
    JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, August 9, 2022
    A very juicy and citrusy off-dry riesling that has plenty of peach character on the well-structured palate. Striking oyster-shell character at the crisp and vibrant finish that leaps and bounds over the palate. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
    WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 10/1/2022
    Rounded aromas of yellow apple and white peach meet dried field flowers and sun-baked clay in this semidry Riesling that deftly balanced fruit and earth elements. The palate shows a pleasing textural creaminess that is further filled out by ripe apple and peach flavors, with plenty of fresh acidity to lend ample balance. (Alexander Peartree)
    SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Sep 30, 2022
    A nice fresh, crunchy style, which keeps the off-dry edge honest, this sports lime, fennel and pippin apple notes, with a honeysuckle-infused finish. Drink now through 2023. 2,472 cases made. (James Molesworth)

  9. Dr. Konstantin Frank Célèbre

    Riesling Cremant
    NV / 750 ml. | Item#51597

    WS9090 pts. - Wine & Spirits - December 1, 2013
    Brisk, lemony and thoroughly refreshing, this sparkler’s ripe pear flavors and mild pear-skin finish would merit a pairing with miso-glazed chicken. It’s also an irresistible aperitif.
    WE8989 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 11/1/2017
    With its juicy, concentrated peach, nectarine and apple flavors, the Célèbre is Dr. Frank’s more approachable, easy-going sparkling. It’s fruity, forward and delicately sweet yet maintains steadfast acidity and a soft, foamy mouthfeel.
    VN8787 pts. - Vinous - Jul 2016
    Chateau Frank’s NV Célèbre Crémant is a sparkling Riesling made using the méthode Champenoise, with a base wine of 2013. This off-dry wine has a fruity nose of spun sugar, kiwis, green apples, and a pronounced flint tone. The palate is playful and easy-drinking, with a gentle mousse and a sweet caress of fruit. 25 grams per liter residual sugar. Disgorged January 2016.

  10. Dr. Konstantin Frank Eugenia Dry Riesling

    2020 / 750 ml. | Item#43486

    JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, August 9, 2022
    This youthful dry riesling has a slew of floral and herbal nuances, together with delicate stone-fruit and wild-berry notes. So elegant, in spite of the full, juicy fruit on the palate. The long, wet-stone finish is racy and pristine. Made with grapes from the estate vineyard on Keuka Lake. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
    RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 12th May 2022
    The 2020 Dry Riesling Eugenia comes in with three grams of residual sugar against 6.9 of total acidity and 12.9% alcohol. This is a single-vineyard selection from 1968 vines on soils with high slate content. The winery calls it their best Riesling plot. This is a surprisingly friendly wine this year, perhaps typical of the vintage. Maybe one day it will close down, but not today. It is splendid, showing off fine depth, a fruity demeanor and respectable power. As fruity as it is, it shows off a little tension on the finish too. This is very accessible this year, but it’s still likely to improve in the cellar. The winery is a strong proponent of the 2020 vintage (and they aren’t the only ones), but as impressive as this is, and granting that both are not here together, I’d take the 2019 just now. That may be slower-developing, but in a few years, a comparison will be intriguing. They are both very fine.

  12. Red Newt Cellars “Circle” Riesling

    2020 / 750 ml. | Item#13405

    JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, August 9, 2022
    A beautifully made crowd-pleaser, which is as vibrant and light-footed as it is juicy and peachy. Super-fresh with tons of garden-herb character that makes it hard to believe this has 28 grams per liter of unfermented grape sweetness. Wild-fermented in stainless steel. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
    WE8686 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 10/1/2022
    Aromas of canned pear and apple are met with candied white grapefruit and fennel pollen on the nose. Apple and pineapple flavors are jolted up by a kick of tonic on the palate. This sweet Riesling ends brisk and clean on the quick finish. (Alexander Peartree)

  13. Red Newt Cellars Riesling

    2020 / 750 ml. | Item#54572

    SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Oct 31, 2021
    Lime, pippin apple and lychee notes give this a distinctive profile. It’s got good energy and freshness too, with a hint of sweetness on the finish. Drink now through 2023. 1,500 cases made.
    RP8686 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 3rd Jun 2021
    The 2020 Newt Riesling is another of the winery’s new offerings this year, all sourced from Lahoma vineyard. It comes in with 53 grams of residual sugar, 7.7 of total acidity and 9.1% alcohol. This was in bottle a bit less than six weeks when tasted. It’s not a full-on dessert wine, but it won’t exactly be a normal table wine either. Particularly given the winery’s mostly drier style, this new brand seems well into sugar. That might be the key difference between this and the winery’s other entry-level Riesling, the familiar and semi-dry Circle Riesling that winemaker Kelby Russell calls more “everyday” in style. Like the Circle Riesling of late, this has a smoky nose — a somewhat disturbing trend — but the fruit and sugar here are pretty delicious. It has enough acidity to avoid being cloying, and did I mention that it tastes great? It retains its balance all the while. If you like them on the sweeter side, it is a success at a nice price. Hopefully, the smoky aromatics will improve a bit. It wasn’t the most severe episode of that I’ve seen. Give it some air on opening it. There were 1,520 cases produced.

  14. Anthony Road Rosé of Cabernet Franc

    2021 / 750 ml. | Item#42845

    WE8787 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 8/1/2022
    Mild aromas of candied citrus peels and papaya drive the nose of this rosé. It’s light and fruity on the palate, with easy flavors of banana, papaya and ripe citrus. Lifted acidity lends enough structure to keep it balanced and tasty. (Alexander Peartree)
