Over the last six months I have tasted several wines that I was supposed to blog about and didn't. Shame on me. But now is the time! Brookview Station Winery is based at Goold Orchards in Castleton, NY. Sue and Ed Miller own it, and Karen Gardy is the manager. A better group of people you will not meet.
OK, so the first I need to mention is the Brookview Station All Aboard! This is a DeChaunac based red wine with lots of cherry upfront, and a nice backbone of other flavors. Dry, but not too dry, this is a wonderful table red wine. Great with pizza, pasta, bbq, and other fun dishes.
Some people like it cold. I am appalled by cold red wine, but I know that a fair number of people like it that way. I've had this both ways, and it stands up well either way. Really wonderful stuff!
The other new wines from them is Brookview Station Sunset Charlie. This is an apple wine tinged with DeChaunac. This semi-sweet blush wine is a thriller. This is the kind of wine that can make a winery - that's how good it is....and it's got a dog on the label? How can it go wrong. Fabulous with cheese or bbq or burgers, nachos, etc. This is a fun, easy drinking blush with lots of flavor, and a nice nose. A wonderful wine!
Anyway, if you're going to Brookview Station, these are two great picnic wines to try along with their great apple wine and their great pear, and their fruit dessert wines.
Great, great stuff!
