Long Cliff is showcasing our fine dessert wine, Autumn Select, made from Pinot Gris grapes hand selected for optimum ripeness.  We’re pairing this honey-flavored rich treat with a Lemon Pound Cake – just the right amount of tart & zest to balance out the abundance of sweetness in the wine.

I don’t know about you, but this colder weather definitely has us thinking about comfort foods, like this Roasted Chicken & Cranberry Stuffing recipe from HelloFresh!

A well-prepared roast makes the meat fall-off-the-bone tender without compromising any of the intensity in flavor. We recommend pairing it with richer white wine- like our Pinot Magic!

Our unique blanc de Noirs is light & brisk enough to handle the crispy chicken skin but still has that full body mouth feel (true to it’s red Pinot Noir character profile) to round out the dish and compliment the Cranberry stuffing! Refreshing, balanced and satisfying, it’s perfect for shorter days and chillier nights!

You can find the recipe for this hearty Autumn dish here:  http://bit.ly/2lJiskz

Then stop by the winery to #uncorkNWT & receive 20% off a bottle of #PinotMagic when you show us this post before 11/17/17!  (Yes, that means you can redeem this offer during our Nouveau Night – tickets still available!)

& of course – be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for weekly wine & food pairings!

As it has been in the past, with over 3000 ticket holders out on the trail, this #Hallowine Weekend was the busiest of the year!

A special thank you to our auxiliary staff for stepping in and giving us a hand this weekend (and thank you to my normal crew, for guiding these new friendly faces).

Thank you to all the respectful and courteous guests who came through our doors over the course of two days – everyone was out to have a good time and (mostly) everyone was on their best behavior. Thank you for treating our winery like our home (because it is!) and for your understanding that we can’t always control the behavior of others- but we try to keep them from ruining the experience for you and your guests.

To those who have been to #LongCliffWinery before, thank you for your continued support. We appreciate your business, you really do keep this small #farmfamily running!

For those who visited us for the first time- welcome! I hope you found a new wine you loved, and I hope to see you again soon (maybe on a less busy weekend so we have time to chat!)

For now, we would like to ask that you take a moment out of your day to share a review of the winery on Yelp, and help us improve our ratings!

Until next time, may you never be short on love, laughter, and good wine!
Cheers!
-The DeMaison Family

The DeMaison Family invites you to raise a glass to our 2017 growing season and celebrate Autumn’s bounty!  Join us Thursday, November 16th for Nouveau Night, when we release the first wine from this year’s Harvest.

This brand new wine is made from the first grapes of the season, Leon Millot handpicked by our team September 2, 2017.  Light-bodied by nature, it’s exultantly fruity due to the short fermentation period.

At it’s heart, however, this young red is about so much more than just how it tastes!  In the traditional style of French “Nouveau” wines, it’s about community coming together, cheering on our local farmers, and enjoying the literal fruits of their labor!   Intended to be consumed within the first year of bottling, Leon Nouveau makes a great reason to celebrate another year in the vineyard and a bottle on the table at holiday meals gives everyone a chance to reflect on the year we had!

At our first ever Nouveau Night, we invite you to take part in Long Cliff Vineyard & Winery history!

Our Winemaker’s Reception begins at 5:00pm, when Don & Kevin finally get to relax from harvest & gather for conversation around the fire pit. Pizza and wings will be provided, and your $15 cover charge includes the cost of your very own bottle of 2017 Leon Nouveau – which you’ll get the personal opportunity to bottle & hand label yourself, straight from the tank.  Every guest will take home the exact bottle they bottled (with opportunities for photos) and the chance to have the label autographed by our winemaker.

Please call us at 716-731-3316 to make reservations. We ask for payment in advance to provide a head count.

Just after midnight, the famous Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift. By morning, the millionaire Samuel Edward Ratchett lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. One of his fellow passengers must be the murderer.

Isolated by the storm, detective Hercule Poirot must find the killer among a dozen of the dead man’s enemies, before the murderer decides to strike again . . .

Our book club always meets on the 4th Sunday of each month at 6:00PM, to discuss great books over a bottle of wine!  We recommend reading the book in advance to join in on the conversation.  This is a free social gathering, all are welcome to attend – but guests must be 21+ to drink.

This Month’s Meeting is October 22 at 6:00pm!  RSVP on Facebook to Save the Date!

Tickets allow you to visit ten participating wineries for just $22/person (on sale through Thursday, 9/22) & are valid for both Saturday and Sunday.  At each winery you’ll receive one harvest themed wine & food pairing, (plus two additional wine samples), and a commemorative wine glass at your starting winery.
