Wild Brute Winery/The Brute: A Finger Lakes Focused Wine Bar Claimed

That pretty much sums Wild Brute up. We make indigenously fermented wine utilizing Finger Lakes grapes and microflora unique to our winery in the hills that border Steuben, Allegany & Livingston counties. Besides crafting truly distinctive wines, we embody the culture of our idyllic area and showcase it through food & drink, song & hymn, and our passion for the real & wild. Winemaker J.M. Recktenwald views Wild Brute’s role in this age of winemaking as both a sense of stewardship to showcase the bounties that this land possesses and also to push the artistic boundaries of new age winemaking—all while keeping a minimally intrusive scope.
