MULLED WINE FORTIFIED WINE RED WINE
Here we are in mid-winter: Fred needs his x-country skis to get around the vineyards, Lake Erie is 80% frozen over, and the winter pruning of our 80,000 vines is two-thirds complete. Yet, the days are getting noticeably longer, a few protected snow-drop flowers are blooming by the farm-house, and our maple sugar neighbors are dusting off their kettles. Soon we’ll hear the first swans returning north! Those of us who live in Western New York know that this photograph of a section of Freeling's Creek on the Estate is accurate - lots of snow and cold weather during the last couple of weeks. So, here are some wine ideas to warm up while we wait just a little longer for spring!
Best,
Jennifer & Fred Johnson
PS Breaking news! Our 2018 Freelings Creek Traminette was just awarded
Best of Class, Traminette, in The New York Wine Classic 2021 competition
(our 2016 vintage also won this award in 2017)!
MULLED WINES
Served warm, with or without apple cider, Red Ipocras and White Ipocras are the Estate's popular and longstanding mulled wines. Perfect for warming you up after cross-country skiing or a walk in the cold. Pick Red Ipocras if you love cloves and White Ipocras if you love ginger. Here's the Red paired with Sage & Raisin Pumpkin Crisps!
