Frost Damage

Perhaps you have heard news as it is filtering to all of us in bits and pieces. The basic point: the Finger Lakes region was hit with a frost on Thursday, May 18th. A very warm early spring that leads to early bud break brings a lot of risk. Frost occurring after bud break is perhaps the most feared weather event in any cold climate wine growing region.

Billsboro Chardonnay – One of the Best for 2023

Chardonnay was born in Burgundy, but has grown up to be a world traveler. The versatile grape is known for its ability to adapt to whatever environment it is in and let winemakers guide it into many different styles. As you will see in this list, Chardonnay offers a wide range of expressions — not only does the aroma profile shift, but so does the structure and texture of the wine.

Drink This: Billsboro Winery 2021 Albariño

I love Finger Lakes riesling. I do. But I think I get more excited about finding non-rieslings to love from the region. I’m always looking for the other wines. That’s probably why I cover the regions…

Billsboro’s Sauvignon Blanc One of the Best in the Finger Lakes

This week and in our next column, we’ll explore some of the lesser-known varieties of New York’s Finger Lakes, which is justly famous for its Rieslings but which produces many other grapes, both white and red, that do well in this cool-climate region that’s arguably the most important on the East Coast.

Billsboro’s Pinot Noir Named one of the Best for 2023

Pinot Noir gained its name and reputation as one of the trickiest grapes to grow from its dark, thin skin. In some winemaking circles, it’s known as the heartbreak grape. Native to Burgundy, the variety is susceptible to infection and disease and thrives in cool-climate regions. At its best, the variety produces lithe, easy-drinking reds that can rank among the most complex and ethereal wines in the world.

What people are saying

Being a Rotondo Club member at Billsboro, I bring all my out-of-town guests for tasting. This time it was my brother who informed me he "wasn't much of a wine drinker" (not sure how we're even related!!!!) The servers were fabulous. They explained wine to him and made recommendations of good "introductory wines." We also did a chocolate tasting - simply delicious!!!! As always, a wonderful time. Thank you all for making a first time visit special. See you again soon!

Great experience. We arrived upon opening and service was fantastic. Very knowledgeable staff. Unique barn tasting area with patio. Prices were better than many other wineries in the area. Not a large selection of wine but good quality. Grapes are grown locally by other vineyards.

Nestled in the woods, Billsboro Winery has a classic barn-style presentation with stone interior walls and a maroon barn style exterior. They excel in service with restaurant type seating on the inside and outside on their covered deck. They offer a choice of dry and sweet wines, and uniquely offer a curated flight with chocolate parings. Although I was not interested, I can see where this would be a hit with many others. Billsboro’s classic look and well seated areas for enjoyment are a great draw for wine enthusiasts.
