Cereghino-Smith Little House White


Cereghino-Smith is one of the most unique wineries in the Hudson Valley. They make superb wines, and they do it with a left-coast vibe, mixing west coast and east coast fruit. I love the sense of independence there.

I have long been a fan of their Little House red, a blend 58% Petite Sirah from the West (Lodi, California) and 40% Cabernet Franc from the East (Finger Lakes) with 2% Petite Verdot create a big yet beautifully balanced wine. Aged for 14 months in hybrid American/Canadian Oak barrels. So when I saw their table at the recent Hudson Valley Wine & Food Festival 2012, I was shocked to see Little House White!

Little House White is 84% Sauvignon Blanc and 16% Viognier. More opulent then the typical Sauvignon Blanc with notes of white pepper. Crisp, clean, and with a wonderful refreshing feel. Fantastic!

Congrats Paula and Fred!
