Welcome
Thank you for making your way to Forge Cellars located in Hector NY, USA – on the hills overlooking serene Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes.
When the time comes to track us down in person, and we hope you do, we occupy a small corner of the Hector Wine Company 10 minutes north of Watkins Glen. This is where we will talk and taste some wines.
We hope our simple web-site gives you the information you need but please let us know if you have any additional questions regarding what we do – we love hearing from you.
Thank you,
Louis-Rick-Justin

Hi Dave,
RR here but yes I think Hector Wine Co. is open on Monday. I will check with Justin shortly and confirm.
Dave,
I spoke with Justin last evening and unfortunately they (Hector Wine Co.) are NOT open on Monday. You can try giving me (Rick) a call and if I’m in the neighborhood (I may be labeling at the winery) I would be happy to meet you. 607 765 7398…thanks.
Hi, I own a home on Seneca and spend about 6 months of the year here and the rest in DE. . I was excited to learn about your venture in the Finger Lakes via a local tv documentary last night. You’re on my list of places to check out sooner than later. BCP
Looking forward to you tasting the wines. Hopefully the 6 months of the year you spend on Seneca is in the correct order…:)

Well we just received our case of Forge Cellars Riesling …..I must say….it brought me to tears!! Amazing!! Rock on guys….this is a good thing!
just read about forge in edible finger lakes. very interested in checking out the riesling & pinot. this can be done at HWC at this time?
Hi Ron,
Sorry for the delay, friends in town all weekend. Yes, right now HWC and Red Feet Wine Market (Ithaca) both have the Riesling and Pinot Noir. In Rochester, Marketview is carrying the Riesling but won’t have the Pinot until December.
Thanks for the interest and let me know if their is anything else you need.

Hi ….i was wondering if you had any retail shops carrying your wine in or near rochester…did not see any on your list..thanks
HI Rick,
Yes, I have been bad about updating every week or two where to buy the wine – in Rochester I would go to Marketview. They have done a great job in telling our story and they really seem to “get” it. Let me know if you need anything else or have any other questions…I will also get right on updating the list!
thanks again,
RR
Bought two of each in November. Just restocked from Marketview. Awesome!
Lars,
Thanks for the kind words. We are really happy you like our wines. A little heads-up, if you can get down to the winery pick-up a bottle of our 2011 Pinot Noir “Les Allés”. This is a wine we don’t make much of so it stays at the winery but if you like the Forge Pinot you will get a kick out of this one…
All the best.
