Staff Pick Notes

It's time to stop ignoring New York State wines! Having failed to properly grow vitis vinifera in the earliest stages of American winemaking, east coast winemakers have been fighting relentlessly to gain back some well-deserved respect. Channing Daughters is no exception from the group of talented new wine makers exploring the very real opportunities in the Northeast. "Scuttlehole" Chardonnay is a 100% stainless steel-aged wine with a crispness that would have you not believe it was from the States.

Enjoy this wine with shellfish, bouillabaisse, salty cheeses, or any lighter poultry dish.
