Buffalo Head: Wine for WNY
We are excited to announce Buffalo Head wines as one of the latest addition to our growing Wine & Spirits portfolio! This brand is exclusive to the Buffalo, NY area and the types of wine were specially selected by their U.S. Sales director who is a Buffalo native still residing in WNY. Under her direction, Buffalo Head’s Master of Wine, Dr. Arabella Woodrow, sourced the world to find the perfect wines that would be both outstanding on the palate and still remain an affordable choice for its drinkers. The results included both a crisp Pinot Grigio from Italy and a fruit-forward Red Blend derived from the vineyards of Australia.
Buffalo Head Tasting Notes:
RED BLEND
“Our delicious Red Blend is fruit driven and showcases plum and raspberry flavors, together with a soft, mellow character and a hint of spice on the palate. It’s a juicy, elegant red, and very food friendly.”
PINOT GRIGIO
“This lovely Pinot Grigio is crisp and refreshing with apple and hazelnut flavors and just a hint of spice. It is soft and rounded on the palate.”
Given that these delicious wines were specially selected for and solely offered in the Buffalo market, the brand wanted to ensure it resonated with the WNY community. They conquered this with ease by creating a label that celebrates Buffalo by incorporating the creative talents of local artist Caitlin Krumm and also by choosing local institutions to give back to. Both of the Buffalo Head varietals donate 50 cents of the proceeds from each bottle to the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter (Pinot Grigio) or to The Pediatric Oncology Unit at Women & Children’s Hospital (Red Blend).
Next time you reach for a bottle of wine, pick a bottle that was made for Buffalo and know that as you are giving in to your taste buds, you are also giving back to your city!
