Red Blend “Fruit Snacks,” Pray Tell Wines, ’24

Pennsylvania

From Pennsylvania, Pray Tell Wines is the project of winemakers Tom Caruso and Sydney Adams, a duo known for crafting bright, expressive wines that balance intention with a sense of fun. While Tom leads the cellar, Sydney helps shape the project’s warm, hospitality-driven spirit, bringing a sense of approachability to everything they do.

“Fruit Snacks” is exactly what it sounds like, a playful, energetic red blend designed for easy enjoyment, whether you are headed to the park, the beach, or just opening something on a sunny afternoon. But behind the lighthearted label is a thoughtful snapshot of the vintage, capturing the freshest, most vibrant elements of the harvest.

The 2024 bottling is a Pennsylvania-grown field blend of Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, and Merlot, with a small touch of Riesling that adds a little lift and brightness. Aged for about ten months in a mix of neutral oak and stainless steel, it keeps its focus on purity and drinkability.

In the glass, it is all crunchy red berries, tart cherry, and a hint of grape candy, with a subtle herbal edge and soft, easygoing tannins. It is juicy, fresh, and just structured enough to keep you coming back for another sip, especially with a slight chill. Fun on the surface, but quietly intentional underneath, this is a wine that captures both the joy of the moment and the care that went into making it.

CHEESE

Lively Run Dairy Finger Lakes Gold

Interlaken, NY· Goat–P

Think you love goat cheese? Meet your new favorite. Think you don’t? Finger Lakes Gold might just change your mind. It’s a firm, sweet goat’s milk gouda from one of our favorite New York dairies. Finger Lakes Gold is beautifully balanced, with nutty, grassy notes and a little wink of lemon on the finish. Crafted by Lively Run Goat Dairy, a trailblazer in American goat cheese since 1982. This is the kind of cheese that shows what decades of know-how (and a little fun) can do. Pair it with today’s PA wine for a lively mix of crunchy fruit and grassy citrus. Spring snack moment: unlocked.
