Hmm, I'm sure that with a little research I can find a wine with New England or Patriot(s) in the name. ;)

Bully Hill Niagara.

I'm not a fan a Bully Hill Wines. They have wonderful labels, bottles, and a great variety, but I have yet to try one I would purchase again.

Their Niagara is a decent Niagara, but that's it. Niagara grapes, a bit too much alcohol; No detail; no hints of anything. It seems distilled.
For the price, I'd look elsewhere.

Been meaning to post these for a while.

As a point of reference, I'm new to wine - but have sort of taken up trying as many New York state wines as I can - a few per week. As a newbie, I prefer the sweeter ones, but from what people tell me - there will likely be some shift as I develop a wine palate. I'm not there yet, but I do find myself saying some are just too sweet. Maybe I'm on my way.

For now:

Bully Hill Banty Red 5/5
Bully Hill Spring White Niagara 3.5/5
Salmon Run Chardonnay 2/5
Taylor Lake Country White 3.5/5
Bully Hill Sweet Walter Red 4.5/5
Dr. Franks Semi-Dry Reisling 4/5
Salmon Run Coho Red 3/5
Bully Hill Sweet Walter White 5/5
Wagner Niagara 4/5
Bully Hill Aurore 5/5
Bully Hill Ravat 51 5/5
Bully Hill Growers Red 4/5
Heron Hill Reisling 3/5
Penguin Bay Tuxedo White 5/5
Fulkerson Red Zeppelin 3.5/5
Chateau Lafayette Roaring Red 0/5
Fulkerson Ravat 51 3/5
Lucas Vineyard Tugboat Red 3/5
Pompous Ass Kiss My Ass White 3/5
Pompous Ass Kiss My Ass Red 3/5
Eagle Crest Concord 5/5
Honeymoon Trail Chillin’ Concord 3/5
Eagle Crest Yummy 3/5
Montezuma Winery Fat Red Frog 4.5/5
