Lot's Going On At Applewood Winery

Applewood Winery is in one of our favorite parts of the world - Warwick, New York. They have a lot of fun events to show up for this summer...and a lot of great wine too! Howard G. Goldberg once wrote of them, this "is a mom-and-pop operation begun in 1993. Jonathan Hull and his wife, Michele, sell a spicy, tangy apple wine....Summer Fields, a semidry seyval that vaguely resembles a light German wine. Don't pass up the cider and doughnuts.

Listen to Howard - we almost always do.

Some of their wines include:
SEYVAL/CHARDONNAY: Color, White, Dry, Serving temp. Cold. A crisp, fresh white.

RIESLING: Semi-Dry, serve chilled. A whisper of fruit to start, cool & dry at the finish

SUMMER FIELDS: Semi Dry. A soft & fruity Seyval Blanc with peach & apricot notes.

WAWAYANDA WHITE: Semi-Dry. Light & crisp.

STONE FENCE HARD CIDER: Semi-Dry, award winning sparkling cider with a subtle taste of honey.

APPLE BLOSSOM BLUSH: Blush, semi-dry, blend of apples and red grapes.

MACINTOSH: White, semi-dry, 100% varietal apple wine.

AUTUMN MIST: Sweet apple dessert wine. The New York Times said captures "the essence of apple....[a] treat."

MERLOT: Dry, with a hint of black pepper in the finish.

CABERNET FRANC: Rich, dry, noble red, with big berry taste.

BLUEBERRY: Red, semi-sweet, dessert wine made from blueberries.

STRAWBERRY: Sweet – 100% strawberry dessert wine.
