Celebrate the release of two new Tierce wines: 2007
Tierce Red and 2008 Tierce Riesling. Enjoy Fox Run's rustic Barrel Room
while we indulge you with delicious food & wine pairings. We will
serve three Rieslings from each winery at 7PM, then present the TIERCE
RIESLING at 7:30PM with some wonderful hors d'oeuvres specially paired
by Chef Heather Tompkins. This is followed by a taste of reds from the
three wineries before the grand release of TIERCE RED, paired with
another selection of perfect bites.
This is a chance to mingle with the

created Tierce as an expression of the synergy of three distinctive
winegrowing subregions of Seneca Lake.

Last week's blending session of Tierce yielded some outstanding results. The blend has been identified, and the winemakers are excited. Check out some photos of the Tierce Brothers (and company) hard at work.
Tierce Dry Riesling represents a unique collaborative effort of Anthony Road Wine Company, Fox Run Vineyards and Red Newt Wine Cellars.. This wine pulls together not only the unique vineyard expressions of Seneca Lake, but also the individual philosophies of the participating winemakers.
Three vineyards, three winemakers, one wine. "Tierce". Peter Bell (Fox Run), Johannes Reinhardt (Anthony Road) and DavidWhiting (Red Newt) have peered through the mystique of terroir to produce "Tierce". An expression of the synergy of three distinctive winegrowing subregions of Seneca Lake, this Riesling is lean and focused, offering complexities and nuances that set it apart from all others and make it uniquely Finger Lakes. Each contributed Riesling components to make a blend that wine historian and reviewer Paul Lukacs has described as “enthralling” and “simply fantastic.”
Peter, Johannes and Dave not only decided what blend to create, they also chose to seal the bottle with a screw cap because this type of closure works well for wines with delicate aromas, such as a Riesling. Fox Run winemaker, Peter Bell, noted that, Screw caps with Riesling wines are quite clearly the way of the future. Corks, natural or synthetic, have a tendency to affect the wine's aroma.
