The best wines are Art.

They are an expression of culture and speak to where they come from, when they come from, and who they come from. They can transport and inspire one’s soul, or be banal, or even be dangerous if used to the wrong ends.

This tradeoff between risk and reward is one that we are particularly aware of.

In the cold climate of the Finger Lakes, our viticulture and winemaking are often pushed right to the very edge. Yet the wines that result can be breathtakingly beautiful, powerful, and complex. They tell a story of this small region that can travel around the world.

And so for us, the act of creating wine is quintessentially human.

It is the urge to take a product and, through human ingenuity, turn it into something extraordinary. Of riding the highs and lows of any given year with a grander vision in mind. And it results in the most human thing of all: bringing people together.

It’s an honor to be part of the cycle.

Wet Hot Ameri-Kabinett Summer is here! A summer of shouting from the rooftops just how perfect Kabinett is, particularly for the balmy summer days ahead. It’s sunshine and joy in a glass, and it’s only 9% alcohol… a summer refresher begging for porch hangs, boat rides, and dock sits. It may be too early to say what the song of the summer will be, but already know that the wine of the summer is Kabinett.
⁣
We’re celebrating Kabinett all summer long, and you can bet we’ve got a few more puns up our sleeves. Shoot us some ideas for how to spread the good word about Kabinett if you have ‘em! #kabinett #wethotamerikabinettsummer #apollospraise #riesling

With Memorial Day Weekend upon us, we thought it was a good time to recirculate this piece from @mr.kevinsanjose highlighting wineries to visit here in the Finger Lakes. We’re in excellent company on this list and what we appreciate most is this line right here — “boutique in scale, serious in execution.” Thank you, Kevin! We love showing people the heart of the operation (Lahoma Vineyard), and our summer hours go into effect this weekend! Check us out on Tock (link in bio), and see you soon. 😎 #flxwine #fingerlakestravelguide #flx #newyorkwine

Wine dinner alert and local chef-owner appreciation moment! We’re thrilled to be collaborating with @vineandfigrome for a dinner showcasing Lahoma Vineyard wines on June 8th. 🙌⁣
⁣
Sarah met Carly Reynolds, chef and owner of Vine & Fig Wine Bistro in Rome, NY at the @flxwinealliance Riesling Camp in 2024. Carly’s commitment to shining a light on the wines in her backyard really is a model for what local collaboration can look like. She’s hosted weekly small-bite pairings with local producers to introduce her customers to new wines, has a thoughtfully curated a local list, and sources local ingredients (including from her own garden) for her menu. She truly walks the walk! ⁣
⁣
We’re pumped about this menu, and about the fact that Carly really wanted to highlight our single-vineyard wines in the pairings. Shout out to @vineandfigrome and @flxwinealliance for bringing us together! #flxwine #fingerlakes #flxrieslingcamp #lahomavineyard

We headed out into the sun to host half of the @flxwinealliance Riesling Camp crew today (#sweettarts unite!)… one of our very favorite trade visits every year, which provides an in-depth look at all things not just Riesling, but Finger Lakes grape growing, winemaking, and community. ⁣
⁣
The theme of today’s visit was “What Cool Climate Really Means”… which seems a little ironic, given the unseasonable 85+ degree temps in the region today. The truth of the matter is, climate change means earlier budding and erratic weather patterns — both challenges that we take in stride year-to-year, doing the best we can to highlight the beauty of what we grow here. ⁣
⁣
And make no mistake, it may be hot out there today, but we’re absolutely a cool climate growing region! We’re back to mid-50s by later this week. All a part of the fun here in the FLX. #coolclimateexcellence #apollospraise #lahomavineyard #flxwinealliance
