Hip New Jersey: What Exit Wines at Old York Cellars
© 2014 Hip New Jersey
------------------------------------------
It's not too late to give something deliciously Garden State for the holidays!
#HipNJ's Lisa Marie Latino toured the pristine estate of Old York Cellars in Ringoes and uncovered their best products for gifting, including their charity label, What Exit Wines.
We always wanted to do a Jersey-centric label with our wines, explained general manager Laurin Dorman. We wanted to have a little fun with the 'what exit are you from?' joke that New Jersey is famous for.
What Exit Wines originally launched to raise funds for Hurricane Sandy relief. Their efforts netted $5,000 for Garden State families, and since 2012, the label has helped other local charities.
In addition to labels proudly boasting your #HipNJ town, labels can promote just about anything you wish! Company logos, well wishes, thank you's, wedding favors....the list goes on!
If shipping in New Jersey, order by December 21st to ensure delivery before Christmas. If picking up in store, order by December 23rd to pick up by December 24th!
After sampling the decadent Vidal Blanc and Barbera Blend, it was off to visit international award-winning winemaker Scott Gares, the man behind the magic. Scott explained to us how he creates his poetry in a bottle.
Despite a recent report in the Journal of Wine Economics, the New Jersey wine industry is not only booming, but on par with some of the best grapes in the world! Old York Cellars' 13 acres of vineyards were planted in 1979, the first in the state to produce wine under the New Jersey Farm Act of 1981.
Old York Cellars also hosts numerous events and excursions for wine enthusiasts.

New Jersey Classic Method Sparkling Wine is First at Old York Cellars -- Scott Gares
One of New Jersey's oldest vineyards is now one of the state's newest wineries. Vines for Old York Cellars were first planted 34 years ago by Dr. and Mrs. Michael Fisher of Amwell Valley Vineyard. Old York Cellars, of Hunterdon County, Ringoes, was founded upon a vision to create world-class wine in New Jersey. Old York Cellars' first ever limited release of a classic method sparkling wine, 100 percent Chardonnay, labeled Blanc de Blanc, is produced in small batches and hand riddled with loving care by award-winning winemaker Scott Gares. Extremely, limited production, $30. Less than three cases remaining from the first disgorged batch.

We would like to congratulate David Wolin for making the big step and moving from Manhattan to be at the winery full time. It reminded us of a classic little TV series so...
Vintage Turnpike
David Wolin owns the Old York Cellars winery in Ringoes, NJ.
In 2011, David came up with a line of wines called What Exit Wines to show their Jersey Pride. The logo is green and yellow.
What Exit Wines later received a Cease and Desist letter from New Jersey Turnpike Authority telling them to stop using the logo they deem similar to their Garden State Parkway logo.
The winery disagreed and decided to fight back.
