Founded in 2023 by winemaking couple Kelby James Russell and Julia Rose Hoyle, Apollo’s Praise is a winery committed to expressing the world class, and artistic, nature of Finger Lakes wines.

Kelby James Russell is a native of the Finger Lakes of New York, where he was convinced, he would never return following graduating from Harvard. A love for winemaking took him to harvests around the world, and in 2012 he found himself right back home and as winemaker at Red Newt Cellars. Russell has been honored as a Wine Enthusiast “40 Under 40 Tastemaker,” and has received numerous record-setting reviews for Finger Lakes wines.

Featured Wines:

• Apollo’s Praise Lahoma Chardonnay
• Apollo’s Praise Lahoma Dry Riesling
• Apollo’s Praise Riesling

• Apollo’s Praise Nutt Road Cabernet Franc
