We are excited to announce a new partnership with BacchusWineOnline, a progessive wine retailer in Rochester, NY. Each month we will feature wines from Finger Lakes Wine Country that will be available for purchase online through Bacchus's website or in person at the Bacchus store in Rochester. In addition, each month the wines will have a special theme and an opportunity to taste and tweet with wine bloggers and the winemakers of these wines through Twitter Taste Live.
To kick-off the program in February, we are celebrating with a special focus on Finger Lakes sparkling wine. The featured wines and wineries are:
2002 Blanc de Blancs ~ Chateau Frank (Keuka Lake)
Pinot Noir Brut Rosé ~ Goose Watch (Cayuga Lake)
2002 Brut ~ Glenora Wine Cellars (Seneca Lake)
NV Extra Dry Cayuga White ~ Lucas Vineyards (Cayuga Lake)
You can order all four of these wines in the special "FLX Bubbly Box" for $80.26 plus tax and shipping.
For those who are on Twitter, join us on Wednesday, February 17 at 8PM on Twitter Taste Live to taste and tweet with the winemakers of these wines. Lenn Thompson of the NY Cork Report will be moderating this twitter tasting. When tweeting that evening use #flxwine so everyone can follow. You will also want to follow Lenn on Twitter and Morgen McLaughlin, president of Finger Lakes Wine Country as well.
Also to continue our love of FLX Bubbly, we are hosting on Saturday, February 20 from 6-9PM in the ballroom at the Watkins Glen Harbor Harbor Hotel Bubbly! the Finger Lakes Sparkling Wine Party. This first of its kind tasting event will feature fifteen Finger Lakes sparkling wine producers and one distillery serving sparkling wine cocktails. Tickets are only $40 per person or $75 per couple and includes appetizers and desserts.
Finally, various restaurants and wine bars will be featuring special FLX sparkling wine promotions like the Starlite Room in Elmira offering sparkling wine cocktails.
Here is a toast to February and Finger Lakes sparkling wine!
