Help Red Cat to Help His Furry Friends!

Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards & The Red Cat present

1st Annual Schuyler County Humane Society Benefit

 

 

Red Cat and HobieSaturday, July 23rd is the day Hazlitt Winery goes to the dogs!    ...and the cats and other needy animals.  Red Cat is taking a stand to make a difference.  In many cases a difference between life and death for the homeless and abandoned pets of Schuyler County.  These animals are in critical need of food and shelter.  The volunteer organization that is the Schuyler County Humane Society needs a building as well as the means to make the building a home for these many helpless pets.  These animals rely on us.  And the Hazlitt family and our buddy Red Cat is relying on all of you.   

 

As those of you who have been a part of Hazlitt winery for many years are aware, the best way we know to support a cause is to throw a party.  And this party will raise the bar!  Join us July 23rd on the beautiful Hazlitt picnic grounds for an afternoon of music, friends and Great Wines & Great Times.  The day begins at 3:30 and will feature live music, local food vendors, adorable animals and an amazing raffle drawing.  This is not just any raffle.  This is an opportunity for you to aid a very worthy cause, of course.  But your support will also give you a chance to Win Your Dream Vacation!  

 

Check the website and Red Cat's Facebook fan page for more details as they are available.  Mark your calendar and bring full pockets to be emptied for a great cause.

 

The Schuyler County Humane Society is funded primarily through donations, gifts, grants and fundraising efforts. They receive no county, state or government funding for the on-going operation. Nor do they receive funds from national animal welfare organizations.  If you are interested in volunteering or making a donation please call 607-594-2255.  Your skills or your donations will be put to good use!   Become a part of it!

2010 White Wine Vintage

PG2010R2010SB2010C2010  

 

Over the last few weeks, four of our 2010 white wines have been released. All of the wines are showing great right now in our tasting room.  We happened to catch Michael Reidy (our winemaker) at lunch one day and asked him his thoughts on taste profiles for all four of these delicious and savory wines. Here is what he had to say:  

 

Pinot Gris: 

"Done in Alsation style, with accentuated aromatics and mouth feel due to eight hour skin contact post harvest. Fresh fruit seamlessly transitions to a weighty finish."   

 

Semi-Dry Riesling:

"Very crisp but balanced. Perfect standing by itself or compliment to any meal. Floral and petrol nose and stone fruits in the mouth."

 

Sauvignon Blanc:

" Extraordinary nose, lush and fruity with a clean, crisp, finish.  The perfect summer wine."

 

Chardonnay:

"Bold and full bodied with notes of spice from the barrel fermentation and extended sur lie aging. More a kin to a white Burgundy than a California Chardonnay."
