KNAPP WINERY RELEASES SPECIAL ‘WHITE DEER TRILOGY’ LABEL
March 30, 2009
Romulus, NY - Knapp Vineyards, Winery and Restaurant, in an effort to support conservation of the unique wildlife and open lands of the former Seneca Army Depot, has released a new wine label called “The White Deer Trilogy.”
Knapp is now offering the new selection exclusively at its 2770 County Road 128 Romulus location.
Knapp Winery Co-owner Gene Pierce is partnering with Seneca White Deer, Inc. on this special promotion and has applied the new Knapp label to three of its most popular wines: Kat Nap, Pasta Red and Cayuga White. Pierce noted that “ ‘The White Deer Trilogy’ concept features a white fawn photo on the Kat Nap label, a white buck on the Pasta Red label and a white doe adorns the Cayuga White label.” According to Pierce, the white deer labeled wines should invite Knapp customers to purchase them as collectible items. All the white deer photos are courtesy of Wild66.com.
Dennis Money, Chairman of Seneca White Deer, Inc. (SWD), a 501© (3) not-for-profit, said the group has been on a ten-year-long mission to preserve the white deer and the natural resources of the former Depot. “We appreciate the support of Knapp Winery in its efforts to raise awareness of the Depot’s irreplaceable natural resources, military history and open space,” he said. “ ‘The White Deer Trilogy’ is a remarkable tribute of respect to one of the areas most treasured legacies. We encourage our white deer supporters and the public at large to be sure and request the White Deer Trilogy label when they make their next purchases at Knapp Winery.”
A portion of the proceeds from the newly labeled wines will be donated to SWD in support of its conservation mission.

The novel, Crown of Serpents has now been released. Described as National Treasure meets the DaVinci Code, this quick-paced mystery thriller will leave you on the edge of your seat wondering whether it's real or just fiction. Here's a synopsis of what you can expect:
With the discovery of a campaign journal from an American Revolutionary War officer who fought against the Iroquois Indians, the U.S. Army calls in their top field historian to assess its contents. Jake Tununda, combat vet and half-Seneca Indian, is stunned when he gleans from the journal’s cryptic Masonic passages clues to the location of an ancient shaman’s crown once protected by the White Deer Society, a secret cult of his forefathers.
Jake soon realizes why his ancestors’ history was best kept buried. And why peaceful, rural central New York’s Finger Lakes region can be deadlier than any battlefield he had ever faced.
Crown of Serpents, a mystery thriller set in the former heartland of the Iroquois Empire, takes Jake on a fast-paced hunt to find the elusive crown — and protect it. He teams up with Rae Hart, an alluring state police investigator, as they snake their way across a politically turbulent landscape marked with murder, arson, lies, and deceit. Deciphering codes, digging up war loot, and fending off the henchmen of billionaire Alex Nero, a ruthless Indian casino magnate, Jake and Rae’s survival skills are put to the test. The clues to the crown ultimately lead them deep within sacred Indian caves hidden under the abandoned Seneca Army Depot where the magnitude of the crown’s power is revealed.
