"Bottle of Red?
Bottle of White?"
So goes the indelible Billy Joel tune but at the City Winery you don't have to choose for the winery boasts so many options of wine that any oenophile would feel right at home here.
On October 20th City Winery celebrated the season with its very own Harvest Fest. The festivities featured live music, local artists, tours of the winery, pumpkin painting, food sampling, and of course, wine!
The winery recently received over 10 tons of grapes and attendees were able to view those grapes first-hand as well as taste freshly pressed grapes. Tour guide and winemaker, Richard, guided participants through the wine making process from the moment the grapes arrive to the time that they are placed in kegs or bottled. Fun fact: only a very small percentage of the wine at City Winery reaches the bottle. Much of their wine remains in stainless steel kegs and is able to be conveniently available on tap at the restaurant. This eliminates the need for packaging, bottling, labeling, and corking thus cutting down on the carbon footprint.
Below, musicians captivated audiences during City Winery's Harvest Fest with their eclectic musical range including originals as well as covers from Fleetwood Mac and Katy Perry.
