“The Brotherhood Winery is a winery in Washingtonville, New York. With its first commercial vintage produced in 1839, it is commonly acknowledged to be the oldest operating winery in the United States.[citation needed] In 2000 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1] The winery's slogan is "America's Oldest Winery". Prior to the ownership of Cesar Baeza, the winery was known for its Vitis labrusca-based wines, with some seasoned with fresh herbs and spices based on 19th-century formulas.[4] The spiced "holiday wine" has been a winery best seller for many years. The winery also produces specialty wines, including one flavored with ginseng and a May wine with sweet strawberry flavors. The winery also produces a version of wine similar to mead made from wildflower honey and an Ethiopian-style honey wine (Tej) named "Sheba Te'j Honey Wine".[5] In the 1970s the winery began producing wines made from French hybrid grapes, which the winery still sells.[4] Under the ownership of Cesar Baeza the winery has begun creating wines from Vitis vinifera grapes. Wines include cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir, merlot, chardonnay, riesling and a white zinfandel.[5]”
