Father's Day at the Farm
During his lifetime, the winery's founder,
Frederick S. Johnson (1921-1998), travelled the globe as a agricultural consultant, but loved his farm in Western New York most of all. He would approve, we think, of the improvements we have made and the grapes we have planted over the last several years. He would be celebrating not only Father's Day, but the blossoming of the grapes, depicted on the right - which happens at the same time. And yes, those tiny white whispy strands are the grape blossoms!
Happy Spring - Fred and Jennifer Johnson
PS And a toast to honor the 75th Anniversary of D-Day.
Ways to Celebrate Father's Day:

3. Dad is too far away - Let's ship some wine!
Or buy him a GIFT Certificate.
4. Celebrate at home with Recipes & Wine Pairings.
And Don't Forget the Rosé! Today is National Rosé Day
We would be remiss not to comment on rosé wines - Johnson Estate now has two dry rosé wines. We'd like to propose that summer - all summer! - should be rosé days. Here they are - two different colors and two different grapes - both delicious!
