Conventional Pom Wonderful Pomegranates

Organic Kumquats

Organic Meyer Lemons – Meyer lemons are thought to be a cross between mandarins and lemons – they have a smoother, more orange flesh, and a spicier, more complex flavor. They are much sweeter than regular lemons and have a very distinctive flavor.  Only available seasonally, these are excellent for desserts due to a lower acid profile.

Local Eco-Grown Esopus Spitzenburg Heirloom Apples – Scott Farm (NY) – Considered one of the best eating apples in America. The flavor is full and rich, and it is very good for all culinary purposes as well. Thomas Jefferson planted several trees at Monticello – it is said to be one of his favorites. Discovered early in the 18th century near Esopus, New York.

Local Eco-Grown Black Oxford Apples – Scott Farm (NY) – Mild, almost purely sweet, with a hint of vanilla flavor. From Oxford County, Maine, it was the regional favorite. Great all-purpose apple, used for eating, cooking, and making cider, it is still Maine’s most famous apple. This variety keeps so well that it is sometimes referred to as “the rock,” and some of the old trees may still be found in pastures and barnyards in Maine today.

Despite the rugged, hot terroir from where this beauty comes, the wine is pure silk and elegant, with lots of black raspberry, chocolate covered currants, pepper and olive notes giving way to a full-bodied 2014; it has polished tannin and a seamless texture. A blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah that was aged mostly in concrete tank (20% in demi-muids), drink it anytime over the coming 4-5 years.
