22 November – PENN YAN, NY – Fox Run Vineyards, Finger Lakes wine producers for more than 30 years, announced today they have extended their distribution to Long Island through a partnership with Clare Rose, Inc.
Starting in November, Clare Rose, Inc. will distribute Fox Run wines in Nassau and Suffolk counties. Through Clare Rose’s 80 years of experience distributing on Long Island, Fox Run Vineyards will be able to strengthen its presence downstate.
“We’ve always had a large customer base on Long Island, but after calculating that 16% of the customers we saw last year were from the greater New York City area, we knew it was time to get our wines back in the restaurants and liquor stores there. We’re confident Clare Rose can help us succeed in that goal,” said Scott Osborn, president and co-owner of Fox Run Vineyards.
As a leading supplier of Anheuser-Busch InBev and Heineken USA, Clare Rose carries the extensive portfolio and network of on- and off-premise clients necessary to penetrate the market in Nassau and Suffolk counties. With substantial efforts and investment in recycling and green technology, Clare Rose is among the greenest beverage distributors in the country, which is in alignment with the values of lake friendly farming and environmental sustainability at Fox Run Vineyards.
Fox Run Vineyards is family-owned and has been making estate wines since 1989. Fox Run Vineyards overlooks Seneca Lake in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes, America’s premier cool-climate wine region. Regularly recognized in national wine publications, Fox Run was voted Third Best Winery Restaurant and Seventh Best Tasting Room in USA Today’s National 10 Best Competition. As a lake friendly farmer since 2002 and 100% solar powered operation, Fox Run Vineyards is committed to reducing their environmental impact and protecting the natural resources of the Finger Lakes.
