AT THE ESTATE Today, we join you and your families in celebrating Father's Day today (here's a photograph of Owner Fred Johnson's father, Fred Sr., the Winery Founder). And yes, we tend to think of our popular favorite, Founders' Red, on this special day. And know that we also have Torpedo Red (our special label for Founders' Red) in stock.
This spring's weather has been "weird" - with a long dry spell and then rain - but we were fortunate to miss the freeze that impacted the Finger Lakes region. Here's Fred with Mark Gosharian on Spectrum, talking about the 2023 spring weather and its impact on grape pollination.
Happy Summer!
Fred and Jennifer Johnson
THE SUMMER SOLSTICE The Summer Solstice, June 21st, is the longest day of the year - and given the gorgeous days we've been having, it's the perfect time to break out a bottle of chilled Solstice Sangria. Notes of citrus, berries, and tropical passion fruit flavors together create an easy-to-drink and refreshing summer wine.
