Bistro

The Bistro at Red Newt Cellars is committed to presenting cuisine that reflects the subtle seasonal variations of the region’s agriculture. To that end, Debra changes the entire menu every 3-4 weeks. She starts by contacting local farmers to obtain feedback on what is available right then and what is the freshest and the best. From there, she creates original recipes and dishes literally from the ground up.

Winemaker's Table July 25th

---SOLD OUT--- NEXT DINNER AUGUST 22nd---

What is a winemaker's table, you might ask? Well, one thing about we winemakers is that we love to eat delicious food and drink good wine in presence of great company. That is what life is about, isn't it? And we (Brandon and I) have the great luxury of being winemakers at a winery that also boasts a terrific restaruant with an absolutely inspirational chef (Debra, my wife too!). Once a month we gather at an informal table, choose a trio of wines that we have a hankering to enjoy with our meal, and invite a group of friends (that would be you!) to enjoy the evening with.

Menu below!

This winemaker's table features wines from one of our small, premium winegrowers right here in Hector, NY.

Glacier Ridge Vineyards lies along the eastern shore of Seneca Lake in the glacially formed Finger Lakes region. This small, perfectly located and managed vineyard consistently produces fruit that is characterized by intense color and complex, smoky flavors.

We will be featuring the following single vineyard reserve wines:

2005 Glacier Ridge Merlot - Rich plum and blackberry frame this wine with intense fruit which gives way to complex hints of wood and dark smoke.
2007 Glacier Ridge Merlot (barrel sample) - Supple fruit and firm tannins with a remarkable and complex finish of coffee and dark plum with hints of vanilla and oak.
2007 Glacier Ridge Cabernet Franc (barrel sample) - Cranberry and raspberry fruit combined with aromas of lavendar and rosemary to produce a nose that is rich and ethereal. The palate is firm, but supple, with hints of vanilla and spice.
