A bone-dry red made from Catawba, Concord and Delaware, the American native and hybrid grapes that built the Finger Lakes wine industry in the 1800s and then got written out of the story. Nathan Kendall and Pascaline Lepeltier started chepika in 2016 to put them back in it; the name is the Lenape word for roots, and the fruit comes from an organically farmed, certified vineyard near Keuka Lake, the same lake where America's first bonded winery opened in 1860. If your only experience of Concord is grape juice and jelly, this will reset the whole category: fermented with native yeasts, no additives, part whole-cluster, and raised in barrel, it comes out dry, lightly structured and genuinely savory, with the grapes' wild, musky perfume turned into something you actually want a second glass of. Production is tiny and there is nothing else quite like it on the shelf. Serve it with a light chill.
