May’s Wine of the Month: Fresh Blueberry

fresh blueIt finally feels like Spring and what better way to celebrate than with sweet, fresh blueberries?

The May Wine of the Month is our Fresh Blueberry wine, made with blueberries picked locally in CNY. It’s an off dry, semi-sweet wine absolutely perfect for brunches instead of the usual mimosa, or as an after dinner sweet to cleanse the palette.

This wine is delicious mixed with lemonade too.

All this month, buy one, get one half-off.

February is Dry White Wine Month at Lakeland Winery

I might have a sweet tooth, but when it comes to wine preferences, I’m a dry aficionado all the way. I like my wines less sweet and arid like the desert.  This is why I’m so excited for our February special.

All this month we’re honoring dry white wines: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cayuga White, Pinot Grigio — they’re all on sale this month, buy one, get one-half off. So if you can’t decide which white will go best with that romantic Valentines dinner you’re planning, get them both!

You can get two for $15, for a sweet, sweet season.
