Why Being A Case Club Member 
is the Cat's Meow
 
 
Our annual case club party is around the corner and if being treated to an all day event featuring Dinosaur BBQ cuisine, live music, lawn games, prizes and sipping on your favorite Hazlitt wines sounds good to you, you should take advantage of our Case Club Membership.
 
There is no cost to join, and the savings never stop! The Hazlitt Case Club was created in appreciation of all the loyal customers who have come to enjoy Hazlitt wines throughout the years, as well as those around the country who are just discovering these outstanding Finger Lake's vintages.
 
To sign up for the case club, you can stop into one of our two tasting rooms in Hector or Naples, NY, or check the box next to "Create an account," during your next case purchase from our online store
Wine of the Month: 
 
Our 2012 Sauvignon Blanc in the wine of the month for October! It's an engaging, energetic wine with great aromatics and palate-cleansing acidity. Possessing flavors of lemongrass, gooseberry, white peach and white grapefruit, this wine pairs well with Greek salad, pork, chicken and shellfish.
 
Special Price: $16.20 per bottle*

Q: What is your position? 
A: I work as a Tasting Room Sales Associate with Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards.
 
Q: How long have you worked at the winery? 
A:  Since March of 2011.

Q. What is your favorite Hazlitt wine? 
A. My favorite Hazlitt wine rotates between our Dry Riesling, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
 
Q. What do you like to pair our wines with?
A. I rarely drink alcohol with meals.  Instead, I often pair my wine with other alcohol.  So, I often pair our wines with beer like Old Milwaukee, Genesee Cream Ale and Pabst Blue Ribbon. 
 
Q: What do you do when you're not working at the winery? 
A. I like to read, hike, fish and crush beers with great friends.  
 
Q: What is your favorite event we hold at the winery? 
A: Seneca Santa.  It's a great party for a great cause. 

Q. What is your favorite memory of working at Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards? 
A. It's too difficult to pin down a specific favorite memory. Between my great coworkers and great customers, I have a lot of great memories.

Q: If you could live anywhere other than the Finger Lakes, where would it be? 
A: Topsail Island, NC. Nothing like being by the water.
Harvest is Here!
It's that time of year again, if you can believe it! A few of the white wine grapes are already off the vines and the Finger Lakes are buzzing about harvest 2013.

Farming grapes has always been a major part of our family history. Just as we share our wine with you, we'd love it if we could share the experience of harvest with you all first hand. We're collecting daily updates, photos, videos and commentary from our vineyard team across all four of our farms, to create a Harvest 2013 story that you can follow along with.

Be sure to check our brand new blog for regular updates.
