Astor's Top New York Wines
11. Hosmer Dry Riesling, Cayuga Lake - 2007
This tasty Riesling comes from Hosmer, one of the finest Finger Lakes wineries. This is a dry white wine that boasts all the juicy peach fruit and acidity that we love in this regal grape. In the more marginal climes of upstate New York, this white variety does very well.
#10200
Original Price: $12.99
Sale Price: $11.04
10. Schneider Cabernet Franc "Le Breton" - 2007
Schneider's excellent Cabernet Franc shows distinct varietal character, filling the palate with fresh raspberry and redcurrant aromas. Made in a lighter style, it is meant to be consumed young. Tonight, for example - tonight would be great.

Original Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $16.99
9. Paumanok, Barrel Fermented Chardonnay - 2007
A dry, oak-aged (90% new French) Chardonnay that's creamy in texture and full of pear and white, floral fruit.
#83764
Original Price: $18.99
Sale Price: $16.14
8. Wolffer Rosé - 2008
One of the few wineries on Long Island's South Fork, Wolffer uses Bordeaux grapes (plus a splash of Chardonnay) to create this ultra-fresh, food-friendly rosé. Citrus, strawberries, and a mineral-laden finish will make for a night to remember - even if you're not in the Hamptons.
#13403
Original Price: $14.99
Sale Price: $12.74
7. Ravines Pinot Noir, Finger Lakes - 2007
This lively Pinot is full of cranberry notes on the nose and juicy fruit on the palate. With balanced acidity and little evidence of oak, this light-bodied wine makes a great choice for warm-weather drinking.
#21716
Original Price: $21.99
Sale Price: $18.69
6. Shaw Vineyards Riesling - 2006
This charming Riesling from Seneca Lake has lots to offer on the nose: classic petrol aromas mingling with juicy pineapple notes. The palate is dry with great, juicy, and mouth-watering acidity. A real treat.
#21623
Original Price: $17.99
Sale Price: $15.29
5. Pellegrini East End Chardonnay - 2007
This cool-climate New York Chardonnay has fresh pear and citrus notes. With 70% fermented in stainless steel tanks, it’s a crisp and lovely alternative to California Chardonnay.
#66384
Original Price: $10.99
Sale Price: $9.34
4. Wolffer Chardonnay Reserve - 2006
From the North Fork of Long Island comes this delightful Chardonnay. More Burgundian than New World in style, it shows clean and fresh floral notes. The winemakers have prevented malolactic fermentation, so the acidity is bright and enticing.
#67102
Original Price: $14.99
Sale Price: $12.74
3. Channing Daughters, Rosso Fresco - 2007
The wine has a translucent light red color with purple overtones. It is dry, medium-bodied, balanced, and juicy, showing plum, black cherry, black raspberry, Asian spices, a touch of smoke, and a slight meaty/gamey note.
#18943
Original Price: $17.99
Sale Price: $15.29
2. Dr. Konstantin Frank Dry Riesling, Finger Lakes - 2007
Riesling does very well in the Finger Lakes, and this bottle is no exception. It boasts a beautiful nose of honey and peaches, followed by pear, lemon, and minerality on the palate. Fruit and acidity are in perfect balance, and the finish is silky smooth.
#63123
Original Price: $18.99
Sale Price: $16.14
1. Channing Daughters, Pinot Grigio - 2008
This is made mostly from Pinot Grigio, with a dose of Chardonnay for added body. It's a great white wine from Long Island, and it's a great argument for shopping locally.
#20052

Sale Price: $16.14
