Ravines Wine Cellars Winemaker Morten Hallgren visits BSFW

When Lisa Hallgren, co-owner of Ravines Wine Cellars in the Finger Lakes wine region of New York, popped by Ball Square a few weeks back, Dan and I were thrilled with the portfolio of wines her husband, Morten, had created. Not only were they beautifully made, interesting and nuanced wines, but we had long been on the lookout for some new Finger Lakes offerings to fill our shelves. (Amazingly, they are difficult to get in these parts!)

Turns out Lisa was equally enamored with our Tasting Station and the curious customers she met while in the shop. She asked if it would be "ok" for Morten to come back for a Friday Night tasting.  "Are you kidding?," we thought. If they were in town again, we'd be delighted to have them on deck! Imagine our enthusiasm when she offered to make the 5 - 6 hour drive back to Somerville just two weeks later - just for us!
