Brookview Station's Whistle Stop White Just Keeps Chugging Along


Brookview Station first burst ipon the seen just a few years back with a big wine at the Hudson Valley Wine Competiotn with it's Gold Medal winner, Whistle Stop White. It's gone on to bring home one medal after another ever since.

Then, just this past weekend, the wine won another gold medal at the Hudson Valley Wine & Spirits Competition 2012 sponsored by the HVWGA.

This is a semi-sweet apple wine with lots of great fruit and zippy acidity.

"Many people scoff at the category without even exploring the wines within it, but I'm enthusiastic to try and learn about anything, including fruit wines in the Hudson Valley -- and there are a lot being made there," wrote Lenn Thompson, Editor-in-Chief of the New York Cork Report. "And you know what, I think this Brookview Station Winery Whistle Stop White ($13) has its place, even if it's not something I'd want to drink every day.The nose is simple, showing fresh-cut apple and something lightly floral. It brings more of the same to a medium-bodied palate that shows a bit of sugary sweetness at first, but finished almost dry, with a little rustic apple skin bitterness that actually worked quite well."

Try this great fruit wine from the Hudson Valley!

Congrats to owners Sue and Ed, and to Karen as well!
