Get Your Vitamin C Fix

What's the best way to celebrate National Vitamin C Day? With Finger Lakes Wine Country mimosas, of course!

Today--and every Monday--is Mimosa Monday at Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards, in Hector, NY. Stop in to the tasting room for your Vitamin C fix and enjoy a mimosa made with their Grüvee or White Cat Fizz and your choice of orange juice or grapefruit juice. Don't forget to try Hazlitt's other wines at their famous horseshoe tasting bar, including their classic varieties and award-winning viniferas, as well as a line of hard ciders.

You can also pick up your own bottle of Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards' Grüvee or White Cat Fizz in the tasting room or online to create your own mimosas at home!

Here's some other great Finger Lakes sparkling wines to make your perfect mimosa:

For a classic mimosa:
Wagner Vineyards Riesling Sparkling
This Brut style sparkling is not too sweet, not too dry, making it a real crowd pleaser.

For a special occasion mimosa:
Lamoreaux Landing Wine Cellars Brut
With an almost endless stream of brilliant bubbles, this Brut has the toasty tastes of vanilla and almond, along with the bright flavors of lemon and peach.

For a mimosa with a fun twist:
Glenora Wine Cellars Peach Spumante
A sweet and fruity accompaniment to any festive occasion, the natural juicy peach flavors of this Spumante pair perfectly with orange juice.

For a budget-friendly mimosa:
Great Western Extra Dry Champagne
The slightly sweet hint of fruit in this Extra Dry Champagne is great for a traditional mimosa taste, yet affordable for the everyday.
