Stellar Scores & Wiemer In the Press

May 9, 2025 | Featured, News & Noteworthy, Reviews & Articles

Spring is upon us and with it has come a rush of excitement from media and Press, citing not only Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard, but also many of our friends and fellow wineries here in the Finger Lakes. Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast and Decanter all had something to say!

Wine Spectator had plenty of kind words and awarded impressive scores of 93 and 92 to our just-released 2022 Bio Riesling, 2022 HJW Vineyard Riesling, and 2022 Magdalena Vineyard Riesling. Here is your first official notice regarding the 2022 Rieslings – they are fire!

 

 

It’s not only the Rieslings that are showing up to play – Maiah Johnson-Dunn writing for Decanter pins a 92 points on the 2022 Cabernet Franc Magdalena.

 

 

Moving past scores themselves, the Finger Lakes are basking in the glow of this write-up from Wine Enthusiast. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning, you can expect warm hospitality, engaging wine education from our knowledgeable team, and stunning vineyard views, complete with our resident sheep! We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the wines we’re so passionate about.
