Small Businesses Voice Concerns Over Wine & Liquor Sales in Grocery Stores

New York’s Finger Lakes Region is among the best wine regions in the Country. USA Today has named the Finger Lakes the fourth-best wine region in the country, behind California’s Paso Robles and Temecula Valley and Colorado's Grand Valley.
The region has 130 wineries with more than 9,393 acres of vineyard. According to the Finger Lakes Wine Alliance, “the industry is run by small, specific producers whose wine reflects place and personality.” The industry has supported hundreds of small businesses throughout the region for decades, and now big box grocery stores are trying to get in on the game.
New Years Eve stay available, includes sparkline wine! Also gift certificates are available for the Inn at Miles Wine Cellars! Calll us at 607-243-7742 or visit our website.
