Bedell Cellars 2008 Cabernet Franc has won “Best Red Wine” at the 2010 New York Wine & Food Classic. It competed against 178 other New York-grown red wines (including 48 other cabernet francs).
Production was only 195 cases, so if you haven’t tried it yet, do it soon.
See my post titled Red, White and Hamptons, from two days ago (8/19/2010) for my review.
