Harvest Intern Spotlight ... Jamie Schlicht is Brooklyn born and Long Island grown. She says, Hospitality is my thang! Jamie began in the hospitality industry in high school. Since then she’s worn the many hats of hospitality including server, bartender and sommelier. When not working in the hospitality industry Jamie is a perennial student who works with economically underserved GED and adult TESOL students while taking her own graduate classes. When asked why the Finger ...Lakes, she admits, I’ve had so many compelling wines from the region, but as yet had not actually been to the area. Since NYC restaurants closed, an opportunity presented itself to come work a harvest. Doing something you have never done before presents many challenges and Jamie has loved learning how we make wine from the ground up. What’s her favorite wine? Chardonnay! Jamie loves the endless expressions of the variety, which match any mood and many of the different foods she loves. Favorite snack and harvest music? Well, it’s a tie between Swidish Fish and beer! As for her music choice, she likes to keep things festive, so jammin’ to Samhain keeps things interesting! #flxwine #flxharvest

Meet the Red Newt Cellars Interns! First up ... meet Tayler Stember! She hails from Carmel, California. As a UC Davis graduate, she enjoys traveling and working harvests around the world. In fact, Taylor spent the past two years working the harvests ‘down under’ in Australia. Her favorite variety of grape is Frappato. The variety is Italian, and mostly grown in Sicily. Frappato produces a light bodied red with juicy aromatics. Harvest is physically demanding work and theref...ore, harvest snacks are essential for one’s survival! Taylor relies on apples and peanut butter to get her through. Demanding work requires great music. You will frequently see her dancing on the crush pad. Her favorite music jam while working harvest is anything Beyonce! Many interns return home or head off to another harvest once the Finger Lakes harvest is complete. We have a feeling you’ll be seeing Taylor around for quite a while following this year’s harvest! #flxwine #flxharvest

The amazing weather last week made it easy on the interns to pick the remaking fruit at Tango Oaks to make our Riesling Noble Dry. We waited until today for Mother Nature to do her job and these grapes are now in their way to becoming wine! Curious? Stay tuned ... #flxwine #flxharvest #flxriesling

Do we stomp the grapes? Sometimes, the answer is yes!

Red Newt Cellars has produced a Lahoma Vineyard Riesling since 2009. The nature of the block has always lended itself to a more fruit forward and slightly sweeter style of wine. Beginning with the 2012 vintage, our winemaking team started pursuing a more traditional style of Kabinett, looking for that perfect balance between flavor, sweetness and acid. The 2013 Riesling Lahoma Vineyards is exciting and racy with bright citrus aromas in the nose, a perfectly balanced palate w...ith a luscious sweetness and edgy acidity, and a lingering finish of white peach and honey. The vibrant interplay of sweetness and acidity create a wine that is intriguing and pairs remarkably well with food. This wine seeks to bottle that joyful fruit expression of tangerine and apricot every year in its most exuberant form. Modeled off the balance point of a German Kabinett, it is juicy to drink when young but has the sugar and freshness to reward cellar aging. Stop by today to purchase the 2013 Riesling Lahoma Vineyards. We’re open 12pm until 5pm daily. #flxwine #flxriesling

Attention Blue Newt White Lovers!!! The time has arrived and the Niagara we use to make your favorite wine made it’s way to the crush pad this week, and is now fermenting away!! What’s your favorite way to enjoy Blue Newt White? Tell us your stories!! #flxwine

Sekt - a German or Austrian sparkling wine. In fact, Germans consume more Sekt per person per year than the French do Champagne! Red Newt Cellars began producing this 200 year old style of wine in 2015. The 2020 Sekt grapes just arrived to begin their journey into wine. Stay tuned for more on Sekt! #flxwine #flxriesling #riesling

You can feel the energy - from crisp morning air to warm sun filled days and a hint of sweetness when you inhale. Stay tuned!!!! #flxwine #flxharvest

FLXposure - A project of the Debra Whiting Foundation and a benefit for Covid Relief. When the world seems dismal, being able to smile, feels like a blessing and a gift. The Finger Lakes wine industry prides itself on our sense of community and good spirit. Perhaps it is a function of being the underdog for so long, but when a challenge rears up we are keen to meet the moment. "With that said, the CoVid-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented hardship to our region and the hos...pitality industry that has been so supportive of our wines. What to do during a time of social distancing and the closure of the industry that we wish to support? We are winemakers after all, it is a niche skill during a public health and business crisis. Fifteen winemakers, twelve wineries, twelve sommeliers, and one dynamite creative team later, we have a 2021 Winemakers’ Pin-Up Calendar that we are now proud to present to you. From fun to flirty to fabulous, these images capture some of your favorite Finger Lakes winemakers in a new light, and certainly in a way you never expected to see them or their wine! But most importantly, these images capture our winemaking community doing what it does best: coming together to help out our communities, friends, and neighbors. So with that, we hope you enjoy revealing each month of this calendar as much as we enjoyed making it! We cannot wait to share the excitement, and to share 100% of the funds raised with local food access and restaurant relief programs."
