As the season starts, so does the bottling of our 2013 vintage. We are excited to share news of our expanding wine list, events and a coupon to help you get your cellar restocked.
You may have heard the news about this winter's effect on Finger Lakes vineyards. The U.S. Department of Agriculture declared the 19 New York counties that make up the Finger Lakes region a disaster area after a winter-long deep freeze that damaged up to 100 percent of some vineyards. We are happy to be situated in a dramatic micro-climate on the southern end of Seneca Lake, aka, the "banana belt". Atwater's vineyards suffered only minor loss of 10 to 15% on some varieties, within our norm. We are fortunate that Mother Nature protects our vines and livelihood.

Vertical Vintage Tasting Friday April 25, 6-8
| |
Join our winemaker Vinny Aliperti for a focused tasting experience showcasing past and current vintages of Dry Riesling and Cabernet Franc.
Pulled from deep within our wine cellar library, we will dust off and uncork these gems and discuss their differences and similarities due to weather, vineyard location and soils, vinification practices and many other topics. Light hors d'oeuvres will be provided for your enjoyment with some wine selections available for purchase - ONE DAY ONLY.
Advance Tickets $25

 This year we are offering two new intimate events for our loyal case and wine club members and will kick it all off with a Spring Wine Release Party on the lawn. We'll be introducing three new Rieslings, two Pinot Gris', a Chardonnay and the return of the Vidal Blanc. We've scored the incredibly delicious talents of Word-of-Mouth Catering in T-Burg and we'll be enjoying live tunes and vineyard hayrides into the night. Tickets are $40 members/$50 guests.
The second event will be a delightful Sunday brunch and vineyard tour sometime this summer. Details to follow soon.

 Announcing the return of wines that have been sold out and missed by many - Chardonnay, Vidal Blanc, Dry Rosé, Pinot Gris and Riesling.
We've bottled the 2013 vintage just this month and are awaiting the "go ahead" to release them to the public. Look for them within the few weeks on our website or contact us here and we will send you notification by email when they are available.

Our second retail shop at 204 N. Franklin, Watkins Glen, opened in August of 2013. Winter was a bit slow but we kept our evening hours and livened things up with "Game On Wednesdays". Visitors enjoyed themes such as Rosé and Rummy 500, Merlot and Mancala, Trivia and Tocai while sampling Atwater wines alongside other producers from different regions within New York.
