Ledge Rock Hill Winery Wins Double Gold at Florida State Fair

Nestled in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in Corinth NY, Ledge Rock Hill Winery is located in the lake region of Northern Saratoga County. They are situated between Saratoga Springs and Lake George, and within miles of The Great Sacandaga Lake.

They are a family run operation with a dedicated love and appreciation for the art of fine wine making. Ledge Rock Hill specializes in limited vintage production, hand-crafted wines made from premium grapes.

One of the premium grapes Gary's been working with for more than three years is Marquette, a new varietal from the University of Minnesota program. Uinversity of Minnesota has come up with some really ineresting grapes in the last five or ten years, and right now really have accomplished more than any other breeding program in recent years, public or private.

2011 Florida State Fair awarded Ledge Rock Hill Winery Marquette 2009 double Gold.

"We're very, very proud. I've been working with this grape a long time. It's terrific, especially when you consider when went from double Gold to the sweepstakes round, and lost to a very expensive California wine. And it was a real thrill especially when you think about what kind of year 2009 was," said owner Gary Akrop. Gary and his wife Deborah also offer at the winery, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Old Vine Zinfandel.

Congrats to the "Winery in the Woods" as Gary likes to call it. Can;t wait for them to reopen in the spring!
