ARTICLE
The Influence of European Winemakers on the Finger Lakes Wine Region finger lakes.org In recent years, the Finger Lakes has garnered acclaim as “one of the greatest Riesling regions of the world” and “America’s premier cool-climate wine region.” Some of that success has been shaped by a handful of European Winemakers who have blended the best of old-world traditions, training, and experience with new-world innovation, a willingness to experiment and to share ideas, and the flexibility to adjust to any given situation. Wineries featured:
Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery
Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard
Ravines Wine Cellars
Domaine LeSeurre Winery
Weis Vineyards
Kemmeter Wines
Bully Hill Vineyards
You can learn about these exceptional winemakers, their wineries, and a shared philosophy of transparent winemaking in the new documentary video The Influence of European Winemakers on the Finger Lakes Wine Region
Miles Wine Cellars

Spring Activities
After the long winter, it is nice to experience springtime in the Finger Lakes area. While there are many things to do in this playground, there are some jaunts and activities that you can do in your own neighborhood as well. Read More.
My Plate vs, Food Pyramid
Generally visuals help us grasp concepts more clearly. That was the intent in 1992 when the Food Pyramid was introduced by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). It went through some revisions. Some were helpful; some were not; some were unpopular. Read more.
Ham
Ham is a very versatile meat. It is the main feature or a garnish. Hams are cured, which means salt is used to draw the liquid from the meat and, thus, preserve it. Smoking is another preservation process. Read More.
