The Grapes are from North Fork Long Island, The Winery is in Red Hook Brooklyn and the winemakers include Abe Schoener of the Scholium Project and Robert Foley, two all star California winemakers. With a list of participants also including the on-site winemaker Christopher Nicolson and Mark Snyder of Angles Share Wines how can this project miss?

 The wine is not at all what you would expect. It’s totally different. The unfiltered Sauvignon Blanc has a beautiful deep gold color of a wine that is older than it’s vintage. This is not your every day Sauv Blanc.  Very, very interesting.  

We tasted these at the StationPlazaWine.com Tasting bar and of the 25 or so people that joined us the most common expression was a widening of the eyes and a smile then a gulp and – wow, that’s different.
