In this episode of The American Wine Rebel Show, we head to The Winery at Marjim Manor in Appleton, New York, a 19th-century mansion where every tragedy supposedly struck at the same time: 3PM on a Thursday.

From the father who accidentally shot his son through the French doors, to the mysterious deaths that followed, to bottles that still fly off shelves today, this is one of the eeriest stories in American wine history.

But it’s not just about ghosts. We'll also uncork two of Marjim Manor’s sweet New York wines: Thursday Afternoon at 3PM (Peach–Niagara Blend) and Shubal’s Blush Table Wine, to explore the real story of how hybrid and native grapes like Niagara built the East Coast wine scene and still sustain small wineries today.
