How to Tell when the Chardonnay Grape is Ready to Crush

The sugar content is crucial in determining when is the exact time to harvest grapes for crushing.

This video by Brian Freedman of ClassicWines dot com is an interview with Louisa Hargreave, Director of Stony Brook University Center for Wine, Food and Culture, and takes place at Bedell Cellars winery on Long Island.

As ms. Hargreave describes the internal content of the grape and its juices you will automatically start to salivate. The wine making business is alive and well in New York State and we appreciate such knowledgeable input from experts.

This website, NY Uncorked (dot com), was created for promoting New York State Wines of all types.

We have been under new management for about three months now and we are thrilled with the popularity and activity being generated by this website. Our readership is growing leaps and bounds every day!

We do not sell any specific product, and we do not target any specific winery or company in the New York State Wine business. This is an information website, where we inform, educate and entertain our readers. Nothing more, and nothing less.

Day Trip of a Central New York Wine Lover

As an avid wine lover, one of my favorite things to do-other than relaxing at home with a finely crafted glass of wine-is to visit local wineries and see how it’s all done. To me, it’s a fascinating craft. From the hard work that goes into cultivating the grapes, to the know-how that it takes to turn that crop into a success story. Luckily, living here in Syracuse, we have more than just a handful of Central New York wineries well within driving distance.

An Increasingly Acquired Taste – New York State Wines – A Guest Post

Guest post by Rob Privitere-Coats.

I see California, I see France … In terms of wine, New York is no longer underpants!

New York State wines are slowly working their way into the cellars of connoisseurs throughout the country. New York State offers a wide variety of wines, catering to all palates.

In the past, the State of New York has hamstrung its wine producers with unnecessary restrictions on sales. In May, the Supreme Court ruled that New York’s restrictions on internet sales and the sale of New York wines in other states were unconstitutional, thus paving the way for record sales for New York State vintners. Not that they needed a lot of help.
