Cider and more at Chateau Buffalo By Catherine Miller COURIER CORRESPONDENT
There was more than just cider at Chateau Buffalo’s annual Cider Festival on Oct 11. Amidst cool temps, and thankfully low winds, Pyromancy - a local fire performance troupe entertained the spectators during the cider centered festival. Fire laden airborne batons were twirled, thrown and retrieved to the beat of the music as patrons enjoyed cider samplings from multiple local cider vendors. While Chateau Buffalo normally carries a great cider selection made inhouse, they invited a few other New York cider houses to join in for this year’s festival.
Located at the Niagara Frontier Food Terminal, Chateau Buffalo is Buffalo’s only urban winery. With the fall season underway there is never a better time to enjoy the winery’s full list of ciders and other recently bottled selections. Leonard Oakes Winery brought their Steampunk Cider to this year’s festival, and the crisp and tangy apple cider was met with rave reviews. Naked Flock and South Hill Cider joined the mix, along with Blackman Homestead Farm. Black Willow Winery brought a change of pace with their meads and wines – with their wines ranging from a light chardonnay to a multilayed Trilogy Red. R-N-R BBQ food truck stopped by
to feed those that were hungry and Arrow Real provided the music for the fire performance experts at Pyromancy to spin their flames to. The indooroutdoor event allowed for a great mix of people to mingle throughout the evening. While the cider festival may be over – there are still a great number of ciders available at Chateau Buffalo during the fall and winter months. In addition to locally made ciders and wines Chateau Buffalo has a great selection of gourmet sauces and specialty food selections, along with gift items. Carl and Suzi Schmitter, owners of Chateau Buffalo, will continue to surprise patrons throughout the fall with varying events.
Chateau Buffalo’s Cider Festival was a mix of cider, food, music and flames, and enjoyed by all.
