Autumn Wine (2021)
This red wine is picked on the autumn equinox at the oldest vineyard in the Northeast, planted on a high hillside back in 1969.
The purple and golden grapes are fermented together, in the traditional style, resulting in an intriguing expression
of fruit interwoven with grey clay-earth. A tiny vineyard producing a single barrel of wine a year,
this blend consists of Marechal Foch, DeChaunac, Marquette, Prairie Star, and Louise Swenson.
COURSE FOUR
Seared Beef Filet
Roasted beef marrow with pink peppercorn and smoked sea salt,
Brookford Farm smoked blue cheese, local asparagus, red wine potatoes au gratin

An energetic, detailed & structured wine which showcases intense rocky soils,
Camaraderie is a lucid expression of the potential of New Hampshire to produce compelling wine.
A fruit-forward blend of 92% Marquette and 8% L'Acadie Blanc, grown in sandy soils studded with decomposing iron-rich stones in Concord.
