We’ve had New York wines before on this blog, from Wagner’s Riesling to Bedell’s Cabernet Franc, and neither did we find something we wanted to try again. But when I saw that the Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard’s Field white wine started with Gruner Veltliner, we had to give it a try.
The Field wine had a very light scent when it was cooler, but as got warmer in my glass, I could start to get a hint of melon, golden apple and lemon… well, lemon Pledge actually. But the floral scents developed quickly after, and the wine had a stronger scent of peony and potpourri. In fact, the fully formed scent reminded me of a just-cleaned house, one where everything was perfectly washed and polished, and it smelled fresh. I found myself sniffing it like one would their favorite scent in the grocery cleaning material aisle. Like a weirdo.
The taste of this wine did not disappoint, bringing floral notes, again the peony, but violets as well. It formed a bouquet of sweet, light flowers that was very light-bodied. It was a nice dry wine with a hint of citrus on me tongue. This Field is a very refreshing wine.

Tried this just yesterday at their winery in the FLX. Also the red field blend. White was better, certainly. Wouldn’t say it was anything to write home about, but definitely a great, easy drinking summer white. We enjoyed it.
