The wines of Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard were showcased at The Savory Grape in East Greenwich on July 26 for an in-store tasting poured by its state distributor, Wine Wizards, with Kristen Zeiser presenting the brand. Shoppers enjoyed tastes and education by Zeiser. Founded in 1979, Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard is a pioneer of viticulture and winemaking in the Finger Lakes, New York. The Wiemer estate spans 90 acres of prime vineyard sites on the western slopes of Seneca Lake. Estate fruit is hand-harvested and hand-sorted, and vineyard qualities are worked in small lots and then blended to create wines of balance and texture. Wines tasted included 2023 vintages of Chardonnay, Riesling, Field White, Dry Rosé and Cabernet Franc, among the many varietals.
