"Thousand Islands Winery white wines are approachable, smooth, and very drinkable. They are high quality wines that have quickly become popular within New York and have recently begun expanding into other states in just the past three years," said Stephen Conaway, president of Thousand Islands Winery.
"James Radcliffe, the winery's Winemaker, is from Australia and holds a BA in Viticulture and Enology from the University of Adelaide. The Wellesley Island White is a blend of Catawba, Cayuga White, and Diamond grapes. It is clean and refreshing and has received Double Gold, Best in Class from the New York Food and Wine Classic, in addition to many other gold, silver, and bronze medals over the years."
The winery is working towards expanding distribution. They are presently distributed by Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) in South Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, Florida, and Washington, DC.
They also expect RNDC distribution in Maryland and Georgia soon. International Wine and Spirits distributes their wines in Louisiana and the winery self distributes within New York. Additionally, Thousand Islands Winery directly ships to its online customers throughout more than a dozen other states.
If they don't ship to your state, look for Magnificent Chardonnay from Blue Ridge Estate & Winery in stores or on their website with similar notes of melon, pineapple, lemon, and other fruits.
