Adirondack Winery Cleans up with 3 Gold and 3 Silver Medals at the 2011 World Value Wine Challenge

Yay! I am so happy and PROUD of my hubbie, Mike (and his wine making assistant Brad) for making such tasty, quality wines, that we walked away with 6 medals (3 Gold … yes that’s right 3 GOLD and 3 Silver) at the 2011 World Value Wine Challenge. Also, I am pleased that we’ve been able to keep our wines affordable for our customers, with most wines priced $20 and under! Read on for details… – Sasha

Adirondack Winery Cleans up with 3 Gold and 3 Silver Medals at the 2011 World Value Wine Challenge

Lake George, NY (October 11, 2011): Adirondack Winery is proud to announce that its locally hand-crafted wines earned three Gold medals and three Silver medals at the 2011 World Value Wine Challenge.

The World Value Wine Challenge (“WVWC”); put on by the Beverage Testing Institute, is recognized as the nation’s most comprehensive annual competition for wines priced $20 and under. According to BTI, wines priced at $20 and below per bottle represent over 90% of all wines sold in the United States and value-conscious consumers are searching for the best wines for their budget.

Adirondack Winery President, Sasha Pardy said, “Adirondack Winery is pleased to provide its customers not only with great wines, but good value, as the majority of its 35+ wine types are priced under $20.⁰⁰.” With taste and value a top priority for consumers in today’s economy, competition was steep for wineries at the World Value Wine Challenge. Adirondack Winery’s wines were judged alongside thousands of wines from across the Globe.

Adirondack Winery's Wines that Won Gold and Silver Medals at the 2011 World Value Wine Challenge

The WVWC judges awarded Adirondack Winery’s Muscat with 91 points, earning it a Gold Medal and “Exceptional” status. The Muscat was also named a “Top 10 White Wine $15 and Under” and the “Best Value US Muscat“! The judges described their Muscat as having “bright aromas of honeyed spiced apples and pear compote with a rich, supple fruity medium-to-full body and bright watermelon and mango sorbet flavor and a long, tangy finish.”

Adirondack Winery’s Orchard Blossom (Green Apple Gewurztraminer) and Sauvignon Blanc were both awarded 90 points, Gold Medals, and were named a “Best Buy” in their categories. The Orchard Blossom was also ranked in the Top 10 in its category. Adirondack Winery’s Cabernet Sauvignon, Rocky Shiraz, and Red Carriage (Cranberry Chianti) were awarded 88, 87, and 85 points, respectively, earning them each Silver Medals and “Highly Recommended” status.

Adirondack Winery started entering International wine competitions in early 2009 and with these latest awards, 29 of its wines have earned 52 medals in total, including 7 Gold, 22 Silver and 23 Bronze Medals.

ADIRONDACK WINERY LANDS FOUR MEDALS AT THE 2011 INDY INTERNATIONAL WINE COMPETITION

LAKE GEORGE, NY (August 29, 2011): Adirondack Winery is proud to announce that four of its locally hand‐crafted wines earned medals at the 2011 INDY International Wine Competition.

The 2011 INDY International Wine Competition, now in its 38th year, took place August 3rd – 5th at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. The few wines that Adirondack Winery entered were evaluated by 52 judges alongside nearly 1,850 other wines submitted by wineries across the world.

Adirondack Winery’s Tempranillo garnered a Silver Medal, while its Sauvignon Blanc, Orchard Blossom (Green Apple Gewurztraminer) and Red Carriage (Cranberry Chianti) and earned Bronze Medals. Adirondack Winery’s Tempranillo is a new wine that the Winery introduced in Mid‐June 2011 and winery customers apparently agree with the judges, because the wine sold out unexpectedly fast ‐‐ in less than two months!

“Each year, we enter a few of our wines in a small handful of wine competitions, so we are very pleased to earn one Silver and three Bronze medals for our wines when such steep competition is involved,” said Adirondack Winery President, Sasha Pardy. Since Adirondack Winery began entering select wine competitions in 2009, 28 of its wines have earned 46 medals.

To create the Tempranillo, Adirondack Winery CEO and wine maker, Michael Pardy, sources high quality grape must from Merced, California. Utilizing stainless steel drums, Pardy’s wine making techniques produced a medium‐to‐full‐bodied dry red wine that exhibits tones of plum, berries and herbs on the palate, with slight earthy notes of leather and Spanish olives. It is nicely balanced with tannins, oak and just the right amount of acidity. “Tempranillo is traditionally a grape used for blending with Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot to improve color and acidity; but we thought we’d give it a try as a stand‐alone wine and it worked out beautifully. The result is a very food‐friendly red wine. I only wish we made more of it in our first batch,” said Pardy.

The wine labels on these award winning wines were created by Sasha Pardy and feature photographs of landscapes and landmarks of the local region. The Tempranillo features a photograph of The Falls of Carillon of the La Chute River in Ticonderoga, NY; the Red Carriage features a photograph of a traditional horse drawn carriage ride enjoyed by many during summers in Lake George; and the Sauvignon Blanc features a photograph of the golden colors of autumn at Shepard Park in Lake George.

Our WineMaker’s Take on Summers at the Winery…

Hello everyone, this is Mike again and I thought I would give everyone a feel for what happens in the winery during the summer.     As most of you know the tasting room is very busy this time of the year and our focus is mostly on Lake George, but by no means does this mean the winery is quiet…  It’s quite the opposite… so here is a little inside look at what’s going on.

Our main goal this time of year is to insure that any wine that is ready to be bottled is bottled.   This may seem pretty simple and kind of obvious but for us it’s very important for a few reason’s…   one is that this time of year our supply of bottled wine draws down and we simply need more.   Secondly all our wine is allowed to rest and age for  1 – 2 months in the bottle.    (Keep in mind that the wine has spent many months stored in tanks at this point).   So simple math would say that anything bottled today won’t be ready to sell until September or October which is just in time for the Holiday season.    In another post I will explain more on why we let the wine rest and age in the bottle.

Our other main time consumption is transporting wine from the wine making facility to our tasting room in Lake George, and our retail wine store customers around the area; as well as  planning and starting our wines for next year, and trying to keep up with inventories of finished wine and supplies.   (It’s amazing how much time we spend on this but it still never seems right!)

One other task that comes up every year at this time is our forecasting  of the next year.   It’s hard to believe that in August 2011 we are already thinking about August 2012!   We have many decisions to make such as if we are going to make any new types of wines,  how much wine to make, and what equipment needs to be bought.    So here we are heading into mid August and the weather is going to start turning to more fall like, and eventually the leaves are going to start changing colors, but at the winery that just means getting ready for next year.

I hope this blog helps everyone understand a little more what happens around here in the summer time when winery life gets a little hectic!

Sincerely,

Mike

Adirondack WINERY ADDS TWO GOLD MEDAL WINS AT TASTERS GUILD INTERNATIONAL WINE COMPETITION

LAKE GEORGE, NY (June 2, 2011):  Adirondack Winery is proud to announce that four more of its wines can be counted amongst its growing list of award winning wines. At the recently held 24th Annual Tasters Guild International Competition, Adirondack Winery’s Amethyst Sunset (Blackberry Merlot) and Prospect Mountain White (Peach Chardonnay) were awarded Gold Medals; while its Winter Concerto (White Chocolate Port) won Silver and Muscat took home Bronze.

Tasters Guild International is a Wine and Food Appreciation Society based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This year’s wine competition brought 30 experienced wine industry experts together to judge the wines submitted from all over the world. “We are particularly pleased to have earned gold medals at this competition, as we only entered four wines and this was an International competition, where our wines were judged alongside 1,847 wines entered by 335 wineries from 11 countries,” said Adirondack Winery President, Sasha Pardy.

With this latest competition, Adirondack Winery is proud to say that 22 of its wines have earned 39 medals at International wine competitions; which now includes four gold medal-winning wines. Adirondack Winery’s Pinot Grigio and Semillon wines recently earned Gold medals at the 2011 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, which was held March 26, 2011.

To create these wines, Michael Pardy, Adirondack Winery’s CEO and wine maker, sources high quality grape must from California. The wines are crafted in stainless steel tanks at the Pardy’s newly relocated and expanded wine making facility in Queensbury. The Gold medal-winning Amethyst Sunset  is a semi-sweet, light-bodied Merlot infused with blackberry. The Prospect Mountain White is a light, semi-sweet Chardonnay infused with Peach.

The wine labels on these award winning wines were created by Sasha Pardy and feature photographs of landscapes and landmarks of the local region. The Amethyst Sunset (Blackberry Merlot) label features the sun setting at the close of the Adirondack Balloon Festival. The Prospect Mountain White (Peach Chardonnay) boasts an exceptional view of Lake George taken from Prospect Mountain.

Adirondack Winery Lands Four Silver Medals at International Wine Competitions

LAKE GEORGE, NY (March 2, 2011):  Adirondack Winery is proud to announce that four of its wines recently earned Silver medals at International Wine Competitions.

Adirondack Winery’s Pinot Noir was awarded a Silver Medal at the 2011 International Pinot Noir Shootout, which is held each year in Chicago.  The Pinot Noir Shootout is a three month long competitive wine tasting, where a judging panel of about 40 Pinot Noir loving wine professionals taste approximately 300 different Pinot Noirs submitted by wineries from around the world. Needless to say, we are very pleased that our Pinot Noir stood strong among these wines, being awarded a Silver medal. This is the fourth medal our Pinot Noir has earned in the three years we’ve been making the wine. It also earned a Silver at the 2010 World Value Wine Challenge, Silver at the 2009 International Eastern Wine Competition, and a Bronze Medal at the 2010 Indy International Wine Competition.

Adirondack Winery’s Fireworks Red Merlot, Blue Twilight (Blueberry Shiraz) and Strawsling (Strawberry Riesling) all earned Silver Medals at the 23rd Annual Florida State Fair International Wine Competition, which was held in February. Additionally, our Chardonnay earned a Bronze Medal. At this competition, Adirondack Winery’s wines were judged alongside more than 1,000 other wines submitted by wineries from around the world.

“Each year, we enter a few of our wines in a small handful of wine competitions, so we are very pleased to earn four Silver Medals and one Bronze for our wines, when such steep competition is involved,” said Adirondack Winery President, Sasha Pardy. With these latest medal wins, 19 of Adirondack Winery’s wines have earned 30 medals to date.

Adirondack Winery CEO and wine maker, Michael Pardy, sources high quality grape must from California to create our Pinot Noir; which is fermented in stainless steel tanks, is light on tannins and oak, has moderate alcohol and lots of raspberry and black currant tones. The Strawsling and Blue Twilight are also born from California grapes; but Pardy adds natural strawberry and blueberry fruit product to the Riesling and Merlot to create these two semi-sweet, low alcohol, enjoyable fruity wines. The Fireworks Red Merlot is a fruit forward Merlot with medium body and oakiness – a great wine for those just getting into reds.

The wine labels on these award winning wines were created by Sasha Pardy and feature photographs of landscapes and landmarks of the local region. The Pinot Noir features a photograph of Rockwell Falls in Lake Luzerne; the Fireworks Red Merlot features the summer fireworks going off over Lake George; the Strawsling features the strawberry hot air balloon and a few others up in the air at the Adirondack Balloon Festival; the Blue Twilight features the sun breaking through on a cloudy Adirondack summer day; and the Chardonnay features a Blais Park in Lake George.

What did Adirondack Winery Bottle Today? An Ode to Great Semillon…

Hi everyone this is Mike again. Today I thought I would post about today’s bottling!  Normally bottling isn’t all that interesting, given that we bottle 1 to 2 times a week, but today kinda stood out to me.

Today we bottled two wines. We ran Semillon and then our Riesling.   Both of these were rather small runs, but anyone who has been into the winery lately would know that we had sold out of Semillon in the fall, so it was good to get some in the bottle.   For Riesling it was just time…it was ready to head to the bottle.

Here's what the bottling line looks like at our new wine-making facility in Queensbury.

So what goes into bottling a wine?  A lot!   Most of bottling seems to be cleaning and sanitizing, and then more cleaning and sanitizing, but it’s very important to keep things nice and clean in a winery.    Although it might be self explanatory, without cleaning and sanitizing, we would either have a wine that is ugly with all sorts of stuff floating around in it, or even worse, a spoiled wine that can taste like anything from a dirty socks, vinegar, rubber tires, mold, musty, rotten eggs and many many other not-so-pleasant tastes.    So, we go through the process of cleaning our line, bottles and pumps.   When that is finally done, it’s time to start bottling!   With our new equipment we purchased in the Summer, we can bottle about 200 bottles per hour for a one man operation, but when we run with two people, we can do about 300 bottles per hour.

Our Semillon resides in a frosted white bottle and features a painted photo of a hot summer day at Roger's Park Beach in Bolton Landing

So what was so interesting about today’s bottling?   Well, while bottling Semillon I noticed that the color of the wine in the bottle was a really nice light yellow and it looked awesome in the white frosted bottle!    I am not sure about everyone else, but if it was me doing the buying, I would buy this one just for the bottle!    Of course once I saw this, I pulled a little sample and gave it a try.   The wine was crisp but I wouldn’t say tart and had the wonderful taste of lemon grass (or lemons for anyone who does not know what lemon grass tastes like).   Being this wine is about 12 – 12.5% alchool, with such strong tastes of lemon, there is no perceviable alcohol taste.

Usually when wine is sampled off the bottling line I would expect it to be kind of flat, meaning not much taste.    Usually after a few weeks to a month in the bottle the taste returns and we have a great wine (or at least hopefully we do).   This usually happens as a result of us beating up the wine pretty good, filtering, bottling and handling of the wine is pretty rough on it and all the flavors tend to go into hiding.    I am very optomistic at this point that with some rest in the bottle this will be a great batch of Semillon, given that we did not make all that much in this batch, I would suggest anyone who wants to give it a try better come into the store or order it online as soon after it’s availble as possible, as I do not expect it to hang around long if it’s as good as I expect.   Don’t fret if you miss out – we will will have more ready for our busy summer season.   Oh and in case you are wondering, I am hopeful to release this batch for sale by the end of March.

As for the Riesling we also bottled?   Well, I have to admit I got busy and forgot to try it but it also had a very nice color to it but…  it’s in a blue bottle so it’s a bit harder to tell.   When I tried some before bottling I was very happy with this batch, however I am not sure it will be as good as the Semillon but only time will tell!

Tomorrow I will try and remember to take a picture of the bottle and post it on here, of course I said to myself “You have to take a picture of that bottle before you leave”   but I forgot!!!!!   But at least there is always tomorrow….

Well thanks for reading my blog and I hope everyone has  a great week!

Mike’s Back Blogging

Hey everyone!  It’s been an awful long time since I posted to this blog and my wife has told me that our blog is pretty popular so I thought maybe it was time to revisit the blog and start posting regularly again.    My goal is to post once a week, and if time allows, maybe I can sneak another one in here and there.   Remember I am not a writter,  and I am usually trying to do these post in a very quick fashion (busy, busy, busy!), so please forgive me for any mistakes I may make.

Ok on to something more interesting, as many of you know we have grown very rapidly over the last 3 years and we decided last winter (2010) to relocate our winery to another much larger building, and to expand our tasting room in Lake George.    I am pleased to report that the new wine making facility has been operation for a while now, and we are running at full capacity for the equipment we have!    This year we hope to produce enough wine, that for the first time in 3 years, we won’t sell out!    (sorry not a guarantee!)

For anyone who has visited our winery in the past I am sure you might have noticed how cramped our winery space was, well now it’s almost 4 times larger, wide open and oh did I say bigger?!    It’s amazing how much easier it is to work with some extra space!      In case you were wondering, we also were able to outfit it with many new tools including three new 1,000 litter stainless steel tanks, a new bottle filler and automatic corker, a larger capacity wine filter, several new pumps, a heater/chiller unit and 8 flex tanks.     In a future post I will get some pictures up of some of the equipment and talk about them a little bit.

In the short term, we are working hard to get some of our most popular wines ready for the summer season.   In the long term, we are looking at making some new wines, continually improving our current wines and continuing to invest in our winery so we can create the best wines possible.

Stay tuned for my next post in a year or two!  – Just kidding!

Adirondack Winery: Then & Now; Times are a’changin’…

When Mike & I opened Adirondack Winery on April 17, 2008 we had 27 different wines on the shelves, but quickly realized we hadn’t made anywhere near enough wine to sell as more customers came through our doors, liked and bought our wines than we expected!

Only 1 1/2 months later, we added other New York State wines to our list (some of you may remember we once had Pindar, Swedish Hill, Brotherhood and some other wines back then) in order to prevent our retail shelves from looking bare. We did our best to produce as much wine as we could, while still maintaining our quality, that first year in operation and eventually we upgraded our glass carboys to small and medium-sized stainless steel tanks.

It wasn’t until January 2009 that we had made enough wine to be able to phase out all other brand wines and sell only ours again. In April 2009, we held our first Anniversary party and it was a blast! Also about this time, we started to enter a few of our wines into International Wine Competitions. This second year brought us many new faces to the winery in Lake George as well as plenty of familiar faces! We also began to make efforts to get some area restaurants and liquor stores to carry our wines.

We are pleased to say that today, 17 of our wines have earned 25 medals at International Wine Competitions and you can now find Adirondack Winery wines at 12 area liquor stores, as well as a handful of restaurants. In the next year, we’re working on spreading this reach even further.

This brings me to what we’ve got going on today. About half way through our 2009 Summer Season, we realized that if we we wanted to continue to serve our growing customer base as well as make way for future growth, we would need a larger wine making facility. In November 2009, we signed a lease for a warehouse in Queensbury and immediately started the licensing process. Just under one year later, all our licenses came in and we began transferring our wine making to this new location. Today, we are pleased to say we are fully operational at this new facility. We have upgraded our equipment to include semi-automatic bottling and corking machines and have many more stainless steel tanks, including a few huge tanks! We expect this facility will meet our wine making needs for the next few years and after that, it has room for expansion, so we should be good for quite a while!

So, with the emptying of our wine making space in Lake George, what are we planning to do with all that extra space? Well, make more room for customers of course! In January, we will have a contractor in to work on the space, which should require closing only a couple weekends, and we expect to have the work complete by the beginning of February. Our plans include building a brand-new, upgraded tasting bar that will be about triple the size of our current tasting bar – this should prevent those crazy busy, crowded days we had many times this summer and will also allow us to accomodate larger groups of tasters! We’ll also have more space to showcase more wine and gift items and will be moving the cash register to the front of the store to make it easier for everyone to checkout!

We look forward to seeing you all again in 2011 when we plan to hold a grand-reopening to celebrate our renovation!

Sincerely,

Mike & Sasha
