GLORIE FARM WINERY

The expression is, “Those who can, do. Those who can do more, teach.” We add, “Those who can do more with a glass of Cab Franc in one hand and a magic eight ball in the other while sporting awesome black rubber knee-high boots, make wine.”

Though Emile Peynaud states frankly that winemaking is not an abstract science, there are enough variables involved that you’d better be a good juggler (swords on fire) while crunching lab numbers, running test trials, fixing impellers, and throwing the corker over the cliff.

At Glorie Farm Winery we are a relatively new player on the viniculture scene, though for years our vineyards have supplied Hudson Valley wineries with quality wine grapes, both vinifera and the coldhardy French hybrids.

While people enter the winemaking field perhaps as a vocation, an ego trip, a dalliance, or a tax write-off, its appeal extends to both sides of the tasting bar. Behind the scenes at Glorie, we attempt to gather the matrix of winemaking variables: weather fluctuations, terroir challenges, social constructs, economic climes, and Murphy (of Murphy’s Law fame), while engaging in Peynaud’s physical science of enology. All of this leading to a hopefully delightful golden or garnet liquid summation in your wine glass.

Vinified in the classic style – dry and crisp. Our answer to California Chardonnay.

Semi-dry with flavors of green melon, pear and honey.

Sweet, delicious summer treat! Made from 100% fresh, ripe peaches.

Barrel aging in New York oak integrated perfectly with this medal winning wine’s natural fruit flavor and gentle tannins.

Need we say more? Like a grape lollipop in a glass, this wine is pure fun!

An intensely flavored, deep red, sweet-tart wine made from our black currants.
