Glenora hospitality

[Kcwhippet]

I definitely have to second Foodie's comments about the hospitality and generosity at Glenora. Gene went way above and beyond in setting up the tasting and making us feel very welcome. Besides laying out a raft of Glenora's current wines, library wines and wines from the tanks, he also set up about a dozen bottles from his competitors around the Finger Lakes. These were all Rieslings, and I've never had the opportunity to taste through such an array of Rieslings before, since I've been more focused on reds in the past and mostly those from California. Well, my eyes have been opened - the Finger Lakes have definitely got the goods! If any of you out there get an opportunity to find any FL Rieslings (particularly Glenora) do not hesitate to pick some up. They are wonderful.

Foodie's right about the Hogue. It just didn't have a chance. Judy mantioned later that it seemed like a Little Leaguer trying to make it in the bigs. I'm sure there are other PNW Rieslings that would have stood a better chance, but not that particular Hogue.

I look forward to that article, Foodie. Are you going to post it here for those of us not fortunate enough to get the Slowfood mag?

Once again, wonderful company and wonderful wines.
