Deer Run Winery is located
at the end of the Finger Lakes Wine Trail. It is a picturesque winery that is not far from Conesus lake. Deer Run Winery opened its doors
to the public in 2003. In its fist year they produced 5 varietals. After their first year, Deer Run also produced two semi dry
wines- one red and one white. Deer Run has a panoramic view of the Lakeville water tower and airfield. The owners (George, Joan, and Scott Kuyon) thought it would
be fun to name these two new wines after the water tower and air field, thus giving you Runway Red and Watertower
White. In addition to their award winning wines, Deer Run offers
many different wine-themed educational and social events. These events
include: the vintner's dinner, harvest festival, and wine pairings.
Recently, I was able to
order 6 bottles of wine from Deer Run and had them delivered to my brother and
sister-in-law's home in D.C. I am a lucky girl especially since I cannot get
wine delivered to me here in KY (www.freethegrapes.com). One of the bottles
that I had was the Runway Red and I highly recommend it. While the wine bottle
does not feature a runway model, it does make you feel fashionable.
Runway Red is a bold, red wine with a hint of spice. It is a well
balanced, smooth, semi-dry red wine that will bring class
and sophistication to your table. I paired Runway Red with
pot roast, mashed potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding, and it was a great
combination. You could also pair Runway Red with pasta, eggplant Parmesan
prime rib, or lasagna. If you like red wine but find that most red wines
are either too dry or have a really strong oak taste, you will
be pleasantly surprised by this red, and you may find it to be your
favorite red.
If you are in the Finger
Lakes region and have some time, go check out Deer Run Winery. They have
a lovely shop that offers their wines and free tastings. You could also
order a bottle online, or go to one of the many store locations listed to find
this and some of their other wines. If you would like to find out more about Deer
Run Winery before you go check out this video.
