Hydro Fracking in the Finger Lakes Print

10-23-2004_9-12-11_AM_0007The recently released NYS DEC draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (SGEIS) is not adequate to regulate and govern the environmental hazards involved in the new drilling technologies proposed to access the natural gas trapped in the deep rock of the Marcellus Shale.  This document is inadequate to regulate and govern Marcellus drilling and it needs to be sent back and revised - it cannot be accepted as currently written.  Unlike conventional drilling, drilling into the Marcellus Shale requires millions of gallons of water and chemicals, the disposal and regulation of which has been poorly addressed in the new document, and has the potential to become a significant environmental disaster for the Finger Lakes, both with contamination of surface waters and contamination of aquifers and wells. The impact on the tourism and the wine industry will be substantial, as our scenic rural and farm lands give way to industrial 200' drilling rigs,  five-acre well pads and hazardous waste holding ponds spaced as closely as one for every forty acres!
We must act quickly to understand what we are facing and take action to prevent Governor Paterson from accepting the SGEIS as it has been recently drafted.

RED NEWT CELLARS Riesling Finger Lakes Circle Label 2008circle_riesling

Score: 88 points    Price: $12.00

"There's no shortage of crisp whites and good values coming out of the Finger Lakes in upstate New York, and Red Newt owners David and Debra Whiting are among the most quality-conscious winery owners in this scenic region.  Located on the east side of Seneca Lake, Red Newt produces more than a dozen reds and whites, but few are more successful than Riesling.  Winemaker Dave Whiting made about 2,100 cases of the 2008.  Fermented in stainless steel, the Circle Label is designed with a touch of residual sweetness, keeping it user-friendly for new Riesling drinkers as well as showcasing the winery's younger vineyards, which Whiting believes don't have the acid structure to support the drier-style bottlings the winery also produces.  The result is a bright and refreshing off-dry wine with a candied lime peel edge to apple, pear, fig and anise notes."

RED NEWT CELLARS Riesling Finger Lakes Circle Label 2008 Score: 88

Off-dry in feel, with a candied lime peel edge to the apple, pear, fig and anise notes. Stays bright and refreshing through the finish. 32 g/l of residual sugar. Drink now through 2010. 2,100 cases made.
—J.M.
"If you're new to the region's wines and want to dip your toe in the water, try the "Circle Label" bottling from Red Newt-it's an exceptional value, and winemaker Dave Whiting has slowly increased production to its current 2,100 case level. Whiting produces the wine in a slightly off-dry style, both to entice drinkers new to Riesling as well as to showcase his younger vineyards, which he feels don't have the acid structure to support the drier-style bottlings he also produces."

Red Newt White

A semi-dry, exquisitely fruity blend of Vidal Blanc and Cayuga White. Perfectly balanced to accompany a wide variety of foods and please most any palate. Cayuga White and Vidal Blanc are both excellent wine varieties. Cayuga lends brightness and crispness to the blend. Vidal lends fruit intensity, body and structure. Both varieties are fermented in stainless tanks with a variety of yeast strains. Various cellar management techniques such as cool, gentle fermentation, sur lie aging, lees stirring and juice reserve addition increase the complexity and structure of the wine while retaining delicate characters.
