AT THE WINERY
FREE Holiday Shipping Begins:  After harvest, it is our annual tradition to begin a free shipping program on November 1st - as we recognize and appreciate the importance of holiday gatherings of family and friends, many of whom are from western NY.  The only requirement to qualify for free shipping is to order a minimum purchase of twelve like-sized bottles - to be shipped within the Continental US. You may place orders online OR you may call the winery at 800-Drink-NY; we'd be delighted to speak with you.  We can easily include personalized gift cards with your shipment and don't forget our Winemaker's Cases - pre-selected to meet you and your family's preferences and holiday needs!

Celebrating TWO Centennials: 
One hundred years ago, on the "eleventh hour, of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918", after four years of Europe's bloodiest war, Ferdinand Foch, Commander in Chief of the Allied Forces, accepted Germany's request for an armistice - now celebrated as Veteran's Day.  And yes, a French horticulturist actually named a grape after Maréchal Foch.  Here's more details.

A Toast for Veterans and Military:  Veterans and those serving in the military may enjoy free tastings in the winery from Veteran's Day until November 30th as we honor those who have or are serving our country.  We'll also have available a special vintage of our Maréchal Foch red wine, featuring a portrait of the Maréchal.

And a Centennial Dinner:  In 2018, we also celebrate Johnson Estate's designation as a Century Farm by the NY Agricultural Society - for 110 years, the farm has been in the Johnson family.  We will host a special dinner in the winery on December 8th.  Additional details and reservations.

Test Your Taste Buds:  In the tasting room, we now have three vintages of Chardonnay - all made from estate-grown Chardonnay grapes and hand-picked (here are those Chardonnay vineyards last November).
2016 Chardonnay
2017 Bright Steel Chardonnay
2017 Toasted Oak Chardonnay 
Come and test your taste buds - which is your favorite?
