The Classic is open to all New York State wineries, celebrating the diverse products made in the state under multiple different categories. The NYWGF worked alongside the Beverage Testing Institute to judge wines entered, ranking them on a points-based system.<\/p>\n<p>Adirondack Winery walked away with high scores for its Gewurztraminer (2023 Vintage) \u201cMillion Dollar Beach\u201d), Cabernet Franc (2021 Vintage) \u201cAutumn in the Park\u201d), &amp; Dry Riesling (2023 Vintage) \u201cRed Cardinal\u201d), all ending the competition as Gold Medal Winners. The Gew\u00fcrztraminer (2023 Million Dollar Beach Gew\u00fcrztraminer, Finger Lakes) also won the prestigious \u201cBest of Class\u201d award, scoring an incredible 93 points, making it the Best Gewurztraminer in the state!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGewurztraminer is a floral, aromatic white grape varietal that favors the cool climate of New York\u2019s Finger Lakes, where we source these grapes. Upon arrival, the grapes undergo an extended cold soak to allow for maximum flavor extraction, followed by a slow, cool fermentation resulting in a Gewurztraminer wine that truly expresses the terroir of its region. This gold medal is a testament to the craftsmanship and innovation we strive for at Adirondack Winery,\u201d said Courtney Rankin, Winemaker.<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/b>Adirondack Winery will be showcasing the winning wines in multiple ways this August. From August 1st to August 15th, a \u201cGold Medal\u201d flight will be made available at both the Queensbury &amp; Lake George Tasting Rooms, consisting of the award-winning trio, plus an exclusive sample of the 2022 Gewurztraminer, which also won Gold the prior year. Additionally, the \u201cWinemaker\u2019s Gold Medal Tasting\u201d will be held August 15th from 5:30pm-7pm at the Queensbury Location. This is an interactive experience led by Winemaker and Sommelier, Courtney Rankin. She will guide attendees through a vertical tasting experience of these Gold Medal winning wines, provide some wine education and a behind-the-scenes tour of the wine making facility! Those unable to attend in-person still have the opportunity to experience these Gold Medal-winning wines before they sell out by visiting Adirondack Winery\u2019s Tasting Rooms or buying online. For details on these special events or to buy these Gold Medal wines, visit Adkwinery.com\/NYWineClassicGolds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a small family-owned winery, it always feels good when our wines are recognized with high honors by pros in the industry. In 2022, we opened a new state-of-the-art winemaking facility on Big Bay Road, where Courtney and her team produce more than 35 wine varietals from New York grapes we ship in from all over the state. We hope locals stop by to try not only these wines, but also get a taste of other wines we make that fit their personal taste best in the casual, laid back setting we offer,\u201d said Sasha Pardy Co-Owner &amp; President.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adirondack Winery is thrilled to announce three major victories from this year\u2019s New York Wine Classic hosted by the New York Wine &amp; Grape Foundation (\u201cNYWGF\u201d).
