We're Getting Hammered!

      Now that we have your attention...our retail room in Hector, NY is getting a makeover to enhance your wine shopping experience! The largest change is that our wine can soon be shopped on the floor, but our reputation for strong customer service will still be as solid as ever. You can count on our staff to be standing by to assist you with your purchasing questions. We are also designing a more fluid layout to make weekend crowds easier to maneuver through and more cash registers to decrease your check out time. Make sure to stop in soon to see our new look and to pick up your favorite wines and gifts.

Q: If you could live anywhere other than the Finger Lakes, where would it be?
A: Colorado, it's my dream to someday visit/live there. There is so much to do there, hiking, snowboarding (year round), and other extreme sports! Plus, the views are breathtaking!

New Surprises for Pouch Lovers
 
Ever since we debuted Red Cat* and White Cat wines in stay-fresh 3.0 Liter pouches last spring, they have flown off retailer shelves, providing the perfect company to barbecues, sporting events, picnics, festivals and more. 
 
Now, your other favorite wines, Bramble Berry* and Cabin Fever, will soon be available in the 3.0 Liter pouch! Make sure to keep an eye out at our retail shops in both Hector, NY and Naples, NY as well as at your local liquor store. 
 
*Red Cat has most recently received a gold medal from the Finger Lakes Wine Competition. Red Cat and Bramble Berry were awarded gold medals in the Consumer Wine Awards competition. 
A Visit From Elizabeth Slater

Elizabeth visited from California and has an expansive background in working with wineries around the world. She is currently offering us sound knowledge on how to constantly enhance your visit to our tasting room. So stop in, we're open and better than ever!
