We often go to Cline for cheap, decent QPR Zins; the Sonoma is a slightly higher price point ($22) and turned out to be unusual: by far the most floral wine of any variety we've had. Intensely lavender, rose, floral perfume that was echoed in the mouth. Not great wine - somewhat too acid, a little bitter, not much complexity; C+/B-. Also unusual for rapidity of disintegration: after a fridge overnight, absolutely nothing but vinegar the next day.
A great wedding this past weekend up in Watkins Glen, at the base of Seneca lake; we hit a couple of wineries on the way home. Four Chimneys, "America's first organic winery" had been recommended but we didn't see how - reds thin, whites sweet and simple. A couple of other places were very similar; I *want* to like NY wines but even the Rieslings, traditionally the best varietal for the region, were poor. Perhaps the best of the small sample was Prejean, whose Tiger Lily rose blend will make good summer deck wine and who have a decent late harvest Vignoles. Scenery was gorgeous, wedding spectacular (Glenora winery, whose reds were second only, in our experience, to an infamous sewer-stench NJ wine for awfulness but who had a couple of drinkable whites and a raspberry spumante that is again OK for deck wine), but the wines were still not doing it for us.
