The 2018 growing season was superexcellent. Both flowers and berries were abundant and of high quality. Ehrlich Brothers looks forward to the 2018 vintage, and assures you all that the elderflower and elderberry wine-drinking future is secure.

Lakeside General Store, Cossayuna, New York is a ​delightful place to go for your Ehrlich Brothers Elderflower Bubbly to enjoy along with treats such as these:

Picture a really beautiful pizza oven in an equally beautiful, shady outdoor kitchen. Picture also a flower-filled, private bower as outdoor dining area. Those are part of the deal at Lakeside General Store at the southern tip of Cossayuna Lake.

The general store is delightful, the Department of Fresh Pastry is delightful, and the wine shop is very delightful. They have Ehrlich Brothers Elderflower Bubbly!

Lakeside owners Palma Kolansky, Joe Troiano, and Nicholas Troiano have the summertime hospitality business down, and done right!

​Guests can take home lovely memories and some Elderflower Bubbly with which to keep the memories fresh.

Elderflowers were generously abundant in the Ehrlich Brothers nurseries this year. 

The panicles are harvested at the perfect stage, when all of the little flowers are in bloom. 

Thousands on thousands of panicles have been harvested over the past several weeks. They constitute the wine. No extracts are used.

"What you see is what you get!"  And this year, the plants so healthy and the flowers so abundant, we look forward to a delightful 2018 Ehrlich Brothers Elderflower Bubbly.

Here we go!
​The making of Elderflower Bubbly 2018 will be starting up any minute now.

A couple of weeks ago, the Sambucus bushes in the farm nurseries looked like this:

Today, May 30, they look like this. See the little flower buds making ready to bloom?

In a few days blossoms will be all over the place. Some we will leave to make berries for the fall; some we will harvest at the peak of bloom to make the 2018 Elderflower Bubbly.

​We'll keep you posted - so check back!

Ehrlich Brothers' champagne-style wine made from flowers gets ready for your party. The liter bottles of Bubbly are fitted with their snug bail tops.

The bails are made secure with shrink-caps, transparent so as not to obscure any their cleverness or beauty.

Finally the put on and arrange their jewelry: the little cards around their necks.

When you take these home, chill them thoroughly. Start the festivities by popping up the bail with your thumbs. This has several advantages:

1. Nothing flies across the room.

2. The sound of the bubbly popping open creates just the right mood.

3. You can conveniently close the bail top, which keeps the bubbles safe inside, and return the bottle to chill for the next round of serving.

4.  Should there be any Elderflower Bubbly left in the bottle at the end of the first evening -  which occasionally happens - just close that bail and return the bottle to rest in the refrigerator. It will be just as bubbly the following evening!

The North Country Free Press Weekender Edition of 10/27/17 featured Ehrlich Brothers in its "Eye on Business".  Dan is at left, Jim at right, and in the background is one of the farm's elderberry nurseries during blossom season last June. Jim's hat is an authentic Stetson, by the way. That, naturally, is important.
