ANTHONY
ROAD WINE COMPANY TO HOLD 2ND ANNUAL FEDERWEISSER
CELEBRATION OVERLOOKING SENECA LAKE
German
Winemaker Johannes Reinhardt Presents His Latest
Federweisser
PENN
YAN, NY, August 27, 2002 -- Anthony Road Wine
Company, a family owned and operated winery
on the beautiful Seneca Lake, will hold it’s
2nd Annual Federweisser Celebration on Saturday,
September 21st, from 11:00am-5:00pm. The public
is invited to enjoy hours of German inspired
festivities and taste winemaker, Johannes Reinhardt’s
latest batch of Federweisser.
Building
upon the success of last year’s event,
Anthony Road’s 2002 Federweisser Celebration
is a festival not to be missed. Syracuse’s
popular Fritz’s Polka Band will provide
entertainment throughout the day, while visitors
can feast on traditional German foods including
bratwurst and homemade onion pie – made
from a special family recipe.
For
only $5.00, visitors receive a commemorative
Federweisser pilsner glass and two tickets
that can be used towards food and drinks throughout
the day. Additional food and drink (wine or
soda) tickets can be purchased at Anthony Road
on the day of the celebration.
Federweisser (pronounced fay-der-vice-er) is
a deliciously sweet, frothy, partially fermented
white grape beverage that is a popular basis
for festivities in Germany. It’s Johannes
Reinhardt’s German roots - he’s a
native of Neuses am Berg, Germany - that make
Anthony Road’s Federweisser a beverage
worthy of it’s own celebration. Not quite
wine, yet a little more "potent"
than juice, Federweisser is absolutely delicious!
About
Anthony Road Wine Company
Located along the upper-Western shores of Seneca
Lake, 12 miles south of Geneva, in the heart
of the Finger Lakes, Anthony Road Wine Company’s
philosophy continues
to be to produce excellent wines for "The
Everyday Enjoyment of Life" from local
quality fruit.
From
vineyards planted in 1973, Anthony Road Wine
Company (ARWC) began production with the help
of family and friends in 1989 in a small barn
owned by Ann and John Martini. Since then,
ARWC has expanded significantly while still
being family-owned and operated. In fact, the
Martini’s children are involved in many
significant aspects of the company from the
grape growing to wine tastings. Today, using
European techniques, ARWC is a grower and producer
of fine, award winning wines. These wines include
major vinifera varietals (Chardonnay, Riesling,
and Cabernet Franc) French-American hybrid
grapes (Vignoles), as well as several blended
wines. The winery has a unique Tasting Room,
a new, state-of the art wine processing facility
and beautifully landscaped gardens. A true
self-contained "grape-to-bottle"
operation, all winemaking, bottling, labeling,
and storage are handled on-site.
