The Oxto Edit
Oxto AIThis is Finger Lakes Riesling for people who know the difference between Kabinett and Spätlese—and care. Multiple single-vineyard bottlings, German varieties nobody else is touching, and production so limited you'll need to join their club to get access. The vineyard tours here actually teach you something.
About
Apollo's Praise operates as a small-production estate in Rock Stream focused on German-style Riesling and lesser-known varieties like Grüner Veltliner and Scheurebe. The winery bottles multiple Riesling expressions from their estate blocks (The Knoll, Pentecostal Block) and nearby Lahoma Vineyard, ranging from bone-dry to Spätlese sweetness levels. Tastings happen by appointment Thursday through Saturday with limited weekday availability, typically conducted outside overlooking the vineyard. Production is small enough that most wines are only available through their twice-yearly Wine & Glee Club membership. The tasting experience leans educational—expect vineyard tours and detailed technical discussion from staff who actually know viticulture, not just sales talking points.
