Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards has a long agricultural history that goes well beyond wine. The winery’s name itself reveals a bit of its story. 

In 1852, the Hazlitt family purchased 153 acres in Hector, NY, already planted with fruit trees and vineyards. And while grapes thrived there for more than a century, the winery itself didn’t come along until 1985.

In the 37 years since the family became winemakers, Hazlitt 1852 has grown into one of the largest family-owned wineries in the Finger Lakes. They opened a second location in 2011, Hazlitt Red Cat Cellars in Naples, where they produce one of the state’s most popular wines, Red Cat.

Now, the family can proudly add winning the Governor’s Cup, the top award at the 36th annual New York Wine Classic, to their growing list of accolades and accomplishments. Awarded to the winery with the entry judged “Best of Show” of all wines submitted, Hazlitt earned the honor for its Solera Sherry. This year, the Governor’s Cup was an unexpected tie, and Hazlitt shares the celebrated prize with Long Island’s Wölffer Estate Vineyard for its 2020 Diosa Late-Harvest. Both wineries also tied for Best Dessert Wine.

Our Dry Riesling is loaded with lemon and lime zest, and finishes of fresh pear and apple. 0% Residual Sugar. Alcohol 12.00%

Miles Wine Cellars: Address: 168 Randall Crossing Rd Himrod, NY 14842 Phone: (607) 243-7742

 Tiger Lily is BACK in store now or online! Open daily 10am to 5:30pm. Order local award-winning wine with free shipping on a case! Prejean Winery -  2634 State Route 14, Penn Yan, New York 14527 

This week's wine pic comes from Wine and Spirits, showcasing Lamoreaux Landing Wine Cellars, located on the east side of Seneca Lake. "Comforting like a heavy sweater," writes critic Patrick J. Comiskey of our #wineoftheweek, 2020 Lamoreaux Landing Round Rock Vineyard Riesling.⁠

Keeping Outdoor Stuff Clean

Very few people actually enjoy cleaning and something that is frequently overlooked is outdoor or patio elements. Read More.

Preparing Kids for the 2022 Fall Semester

It is almost time for the 2022-2023 school year to begin. That will mean many schedule adjustments for the whole family. With a little thought and preparation, you can still make these last few weeks of summer fun and make the transition back to education easy. Read More.

Pork Butt

This cut of pork doesn’t come from the rear of the animal at all. It is from the shoulder and can include the tenderloin. It is butchered into a sort of wedge shape and comes in lots of different sizes or weights. It is a tougher piece of meat with lots of connective tissue, which makes it well suited to a slow cooker or braising. Read More.
