<strong>October</strong> 2012<br />
If you've visited the winery in the past few months, you may have noticed<br />
that we're quite busy in the tasting room. What you probably didn't notice is<br />
the flurry of activity that's been going on in the production facility as we've<br />
been hard at work with this year's harvest.<br />
The 2012 harvest will be remembered around the region as one marked by<br />
early ripening (grape varietals were 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule on<br />
average) with excellent fruit quality. This summer's warm, dry weather kept<br />
yields down, which led to more highly concentrated flavors and sugars in<br />
the grapes. We're thrilled at the potential that we're seeing from the wines<br />
of this vintage at an early stage.<br />
Specific to <strong>Montezuma</strong>, we'll remember this harvest as one where we<br />
experimented with a lot of varietals and wine making styles that we either<br />
hadn't used in a while or hadn't ever used, so look out for some new<br />
products to come over the course of the next year. I think I can speak for<br />
the whole wine making team when I say that the long hours and hard work<br />
that go hand-in-hand with this time of year are all worth it, and that it is<br />
quite rewarding to see these products develop from fruit on the vine to wine<br />
in your glass.<br />
Cheers,<br />
Phil Plummer<br />
Assistant Winemaker<br />

Blue Moon<br />
"Boo Berry" Wine<br />
The soil and climate conditions in the Finger<br />
Lakes region is ideal for growing blueberries.<br />
It takes between 8 and 12 years for<br />
blueberries to reach full production and can<br />
yield in excess of 10,000 lbs/acre. Our local farmers hand pick the crop to<br />
ensure premium quality fruit. Blueberries also provide high levels of<br />
antioxidants.<br />
Our 100% blueberry wine is sweet with intense blueberry character. Pairs<br />
well with cheesecake. Winner of 3 Gold Medals & voted Best Fruit<br />
Wine!<br />
Sparkling Mead<br />
Winner of 2 Gold Medals & Commercial Mead<br />
Champion!<br />
Mead (honey wine) dates back to biblical times<br />
and was very popular in early England. In fact,<br />
the term "honeymoon" relates to the early<br />
English custom of newlyweds drinking mead for<br />
the first month of their marriage.<br />

Coming to a location near you soon...<br />
Great news for Hidden <strong>Marsh</strong> Distillery fans. In another 6 months we will be able to offer samples and sales of our<br />
distilled products at various events and festivals.<br />
This past week, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation that will allow licensed farm distilleries to sell their liquor<br />
at the New York State Fair, recognized county fairs, and not-for-profit farmers' markets. This new law will help local farms<br />
to grow by providing distilleries with the same access to marketing opportunities currently allowed to licensed wineries,<br />
farm wineries, and farm breweries.<br />
"Farm distilleries and the agricultural sector play a major role in New York State's economy," Governor Cuomo said. "By<br />
easing restrictions on farm di stilleries and permitting tastings and sales outside of their premises, we are giving these<br />
distilleries an equal chance to compete in the industry and a better opportunity to reach new customers<br />
and grow their businesses. This in turn will offer a needed boost to the state and local economies,<br />
while allowing New Yorkers and visitors to enjoy products of the Empire State."<br />
Currently farm distilleries, which are required to primarily use New York State agricultural products in their New York<br />
State labeled liquors, are allowed to sample and sell their products only on their distillery premises. On the other<br />
hand, farm breweries, farm wineries, and licensed wineries are not subject to these restrictions and are allowed to<br />
sample and sell their New York State labeled products at fairs and markets across the state.<br />
This means that we will now be able to get our products out to more people who have not had a chance to<br />
experience them at the distillery. The law will be effective in 180 days.<br />
