Hello friends of Airy Acres Vineyard!
We’ll be open this week and next on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 11-6 in case you’re craving some of wines for your holiday gatherings or for gifts to others. Here’s our web-store in case you want to order for pickup or shipment:

Here are some potential holiday wine pairings copied from an online article about NY wines:
1) Riesling- New York is renowned for its Rieslings. A semi-dry or dry Riesling can complement both turkey and ham dishes.
2) Cabernet Franc- This red wine is a great choice for pairing with roasted meats, making it suitable for Christmas dinners featuring beef or lamb.
3) Chardonnay- A well-balanced Chardonnay can go nicely with creamy dishes, such as mashed potatoes or a rich seafood appetizer.
4) Gewürztraminer- This aromatic white wine can be an excellent choice for spicier Christmas dishes or those with a touch of sweetness.”
And to this list I’d add our ‘bubbly’ Rose – A carbonated version of our Rose, a field blend of 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Lemberger,
co-fermented in stainless steel. This light and refreshing wine is good for any occasion.
Thanks,
Fred & Noah and the rest of our Bassette family vineyard team |
