More medals, and the benefits…

April 14, 2009 By Alie Leave a Comment

Well, here I go bragging again.  We’ve won more medals.  We dun good.

This time, the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition at the end of March.  We got four:

  • SILVER – 2006 Motley Cru (yee-aah!!!  Motley’s first medal!)
  • BRONZE – 2007 Chardonnay
  • BRONZE – 2007 Viognier
  • BRONZE – 2007 Social Club White

The great thing about this competition is that all the proceeds go to benefit Camp Good Days, a retreat in New York’s Finger Lakes for children and families who suffer from cancer and other major diseases – all all of the camp’s services are free to these families.  So, it was about a lot more than just winning prizes.  Make a donation at their website!

We’ve struck gold again…

This week, Appellation America announced their results on their Best-of-Appellation (BOA) evaluations of New York wines, and they awarded us four gold medals!

  • 2007 Chardonnay —- Gold
  • 2007 Social Club Red —- Gold
  • 2007 Social Club White —- Gold
  • 2007 Viognier —- Gold

Appellation America (www.appellationamerica.com) is a website dedicated to American wines, and is a detailed resource for understanding the great variety of wines produced in North America and their characteristics as influenced by the terroir in the growing number of AVA’s, or American Viticultural Areas, in the U.S.  Appellation America regularly conducts comparative regional tastings, the purpose being to not only define a set of characteristics that represent the terrior of that particular area, but to also identify the area’s producers whose wines best showcase those characteristics and the quality of the area’s craftsmanship in the region.

BOE’s wines will be featured on the website’s Best-of-Appellation Wine List as wines that define the quality and identity of the region!

BOE Gets New Medals at the 2009 Grand Harvest Awards

February 27, 2009 By Alie Leave a Comment

Great news!  We’ve just received word that BOE wines have won two new medals at last week’s 2009 Grand Harvest Awards tasting in Napa!

  • Brooklyn Oenology 2007 Chardonnay – Silver
  • Brooklyn Oenology 2005 Merlot – Bronze

Our flagship wines are rackin’ them up!  I’m so excited, to say the least – BOE is still a young winery, so this is just so damn flattering!

Try them for yourself!  The Stores page lists all the locations where you can buy our wines.  We’re also going to be pouring these, along with the rest of the lineup, at the New York Wine Expo this weekend at the Jacob Javits Center.  The events page has all the details for the show.  Drop by and say hello!
