Red Tail Ridge Nominated for a Wine Enthusiast Wine Star Award
Deep in winter here in the Finger Lakes brings a desire for the deeply comforting food that Jamie Davis creates. His unique take on the cuisine of North Carolina has garnered him the distinction of being a James Beard Award Finalist. His restaurant, The Hackney, in Washington, NC is a much beloved fine dining destination for Carolinians. We hope that you will join us as we welcome Chef Jamie to the Finger Lakes.
As the sun sets over the Riesling block ridge at Red Tail Ridge, our celebration of the Day of the Dead with our FLX neighbor and friend, La Monarka will be in full swing! Come in costume for this traditional Dia de los Muertos fiesta. We will have traditional small bites with paired tastes of Red Tail Ridge wine; cellar tours; a costume contest; music; a Piñata contest, and much more. If the weather is nice, bring your furry friends dressed in costume. We will have the Pavilion open until the temperatures drop. Also, bring a memento of a loved one to remember in community on the alter. After all, the Day of the Dead is a celebration of our lives and the one of our ancestors.

You are invited to celebrate the life and adventures in the Red Tail Ridge vineyard of our late, lovely Bueller. A rescue, Bueller was found chained in the middle of a field. Nancy & Mike adopted him and took on the task of bringing out the steady, calm presence and love of a good head scratch and consistent love that Bueller was famous for. He became one of our mascots because he was always up to meet a new person. He kept our woodchucks in check along with his brother, Tucker.
Not only was he famous at the winery, Bueller had a huge Social Media following. As such as beloved friend, he deserves a great sending off. So, come and join us for a toast and a walk about the pollinator field or by the pond to celebrate his life. Chef Samantha Buyskes will be at the winery, providing a lunch of locally-sourced Burgers and Hot Dogs for $25 per person for those who wish to enjoy. The glass to toast Bueller will be complimentary to all ticket holders.
