New! Flooded Vine Sparkling Cranberry Wine
We’re excited to introduce our newest release: Flooded Vine Sparkling Cranberry Wine! So, what is Flooded Vine ? Cranberries grow on low-lying vines and are harvested by flooding the bogs which gives them more in common with grapes than you might think. The result? A bright, refreshing sparkling wine that’s unlike anything else we’ve poured. If you’ve enjoyed our cranberry wine during the holidays, this is a completely new experience. The label, designed by Yardley, was inspired by a visit to...

New Tasting Room at Reynolds in Manahawkin - Come Visit!
Article from Breaker Magazine - By Tim Schlitzer In agriculture, you come to realize how vital seeds are—they are the origin of all great things. Seeds initiate the journey that leads to harvest, spreading life from trees and fruits to people. Often overlooked, seeds are the first step in any big idea or breakthrough. Sometimes, we don't even know where that seed originated or how impactful it might become in our lives. In 1988, our winery opened its doors and has since become a cornerstone...

The Work Behind the Wines
You hear us talk a ton about supporting local farms, farmers, and getting fruit from New Jersey. We are the "Garden State" after all!

Review: The Somm Hotel: Fresh New 4.5 Star Hotel in Woodinville
It was a fabulous stay at the brand new Somm Hotel, located in the heart of Woodinville. This hotel has been now open for several months but this was my first chance to do a thorough review. Let’s just say that my visit did not disappoint. The stay left little doubt that this is the best hotel in Woodinville. We checked in and then made our way to our room, located on the 3rd floor. The room faced north and had a little view. I love the motif of the check-in area with bottle punts everywhere as an ingenious light feature. This is exactly the kind of thing that you would like to see in Woodinville Wine Country. The room itself was a spacious corner suite with a pull-out bed that was perfect for our 3 year old. This room would be a great option of you are traveling with one or two kids. The main living room space leads into the bathroom and then the bedroom. I loved the comfort of the bed. I slept like a baby and my wife did as well. The room design makes sense for maximizing space. The

All About our Farmstand Sangrias!

Here's the catch though, we only do it for one day! That means each time we do it, it is a new and exciting...
