New York Cabernet Franc: Uniting the State, Focusing the Future

Mar 24, 2026 | Featured, Reviews & Articles

We were highlighted in a recent Substack article from Cab Franc Chronicles, where writers and producers explore how Cabernet Franc has evolved from a supporting blending grape to a defining varietal for New York wine.

Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard was included among the producers featured in the piece and to take part in this year’s Cab Franc Forward event alongside colleagues from across New York’s wine regions. Gatherings like these provide an opportunity to share the diversity and quality of New York Cabernet Franc while strengthening the community behind it.

We’re proud to continue championing New York Cabernet Franc and look forward to supporting initiatives that bring attention to this remarkable grape.
