What an incredible response to our BD13 offers! So good, in fact, that we’re going to keep it going for the rest of the weekend!
We know that for many of you, the Finger Lakes is new vinous territory as you’ve been considering your purchase decisions. So have no fear, all the offers below will still active as you peruse what others have said and our reviews! Enjoy! Hello, Everyone! It is such a pleasure to be participating in BerserkerDay 13 as the first ever Finger Lakes winery to be represented!
With the recent attention our region and wines have been getting, we thought we’d use these offers to give you a great way of exploring what makes us special at the equivalent of wholesale prices. Now you can see what all the fuss is about - just why did Jancis Robinson pick the Red Newt Dry Riesling to launch her own line of wine glasses with? Besides, we all like having bottles to pull out from our cellar that elicit ‘ooos’ and ‘aaahs’ of intrigue!
Why the Finger Lakes? Cool, long growing seasons that are moderated by epic bodies of water allow us to make wines that can’t be replicated anywhere else in the US. There is a reason our German colleagues consider us the North American home of Riesling; we’re small in production, but mighty in impact. And the promise of the wines here is what drew me back home after graduating from Harvard and thinking I would never live outside a city again (whoops). This is your favorite Somm’s favorite secret wine region
Why Red Newt Cellars? Because we’re a passionate and small team that has been joyfully producing single vineyard Riesling and Cabernet Franc from the Seneca Lake AVA since 1998. With a full suite of Rieslings, from dry to dessert, and several Cabernet Franc bottlings every harvest, winemaker Kelby James Russell embraces the single vineyard ethos that he inherited from founding winemaker David Whiting. Pushing the envelope with spontaneous fermentations, lees contact, cold soaking, and basket pressing; Red Newt’s wines are designed to open up in bottle for years to come. Classic, elegant, world class wines await you.

4. Finger Lakes Grand Crus - 4 vineyards, 3 vintages: If you want to try the best of the best while learning about the Finger Lakes, you cannot do better than these verticals. 1 bottle each of the 2017, 2018, and 2019 vintages of our four top vineyards, this is a remarkable set of wines that invites exploration of sites, verticals, or horizontals as you see fit. And, to make it even more special for BD13, these wines are nearly all pre-release exclusives for this day only. Available as 3-bottle verticals of each vineyard, but with a extraordinary price for the full case:
-
The Knoll Riesling - Our top vineyard site, both in terms of prestige and elevation. This is a dry Riesling of particular texture, power, and salinity that appears in conferences around the world. Did you order the Monopole Crü offer yesterday for The Knoll? Purchase this three pack to make a full 6-year vertical of our top wine! If you missed out, this is still a fantastic opportunity to try our best. (And if you aren’t Monopole Crü - fix that for next year!
Berserker Day Deal: $109 for the 2017, 2018, 2019 three-pack.
-
Tango Oaks Vineyard Riesling - A rare planting of Alsatian clone Riesling on a rare site that features 20 feet of gravel, this dry Riesling features complex aromas of Thai Basil and White Peach year in and year out. Slightly more friendly than ‘The Knoll’, but no less serious.
Berserker Day Deal: $61 for the 2017, 2018, 2019 three-pack.
-
Lahoma Vineyard Riesling - From the slopes around ‘The Knoll’ we make a reserve caliber Kabinett Riesling every vintage that is as explosive in its fruit aromatics as it is ripping in its acidity. This is a wine that demands aging, a la some of our favorites from the Mosel; the current release is 2014 for a reason.
Berserker Day Deal: $61 for the 2017, 2018, 2019 three-pack.
-
Glacier Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Franc - The greatest red vineyard site in the Finger Lakes, a steep slope with that dives into Seneca Lake on its Southeast side. This slope and exposure result in a set of climatic conditions that result in a sub-region colloquially known as the ‘Banana Belt’ for the fantastic ripeness it delivers in a cool climate. With shale bedrock only 8" under the surface, Glacier Ridge takes this to the extreme and produces a Cabernet Franc of structure, savoriness, and smoke. This isn’t the Loire, it is old-school Bordeaux. And, much like our Rieslings, bottle age is its friend (we’re drinking the 2008 at the winery these days).
Berserker Day Deal: $71 for the 2017, 2018, 2019 three-pack.
Interested in the full monty (not counting the photo below)? An even deeper discount than the above awaits you! A $450 value regularly, with code BD13 this case is only $275, including shipping! Yes, a full case of the best wines in the Finger Lakes for $275 total!
