About our name...
Catharine
(pronounced Cathareen) was Queen of the Seneca Indians
and known throughout the area
for her grace and cordiality.
We are proud to display her
name on all our bottles.
Catharine Valley, Town of Catharine
as well as Catharine Creek
all bear tribute to her name.

All of our wines have colorful
names,
taken from local lure
Sweet Revenge
In August 1874 Mary Boyes
wrote a vengeful letter to the world
via the Watkins Express, absolving
herself from all duties to her
husband after he ran off for
several days and then tried to
slip back into her bed.
The Lost Irishman
Harkens an old Schyuler County
story about a man
washed up on the shores of Seneca
Lake in 1874.
Could it have been the Mary’s
husband?
The Blue Goose
This Inn was well known
to locals in Burdett during prohibition
times. It provided booze, gambling
and ladies of the night.
This semi dry white wine is
a delicious trip back to those times.
It was a favorite stop
for Mary Boyes husband.
Seneca Steamer
Takes you back to the heydays
when such Steamers
were the mainstay of all commerce
in the Finger Lakes Region
