Fred Frank, president of Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery, was honored in May with the Perpetual Monteith Trophy Award for Exceptional Contributions to the American Wine Industry.
Bestowed by the Atlantic Seaboard Wine Association, the award was presented at Chateau Frank high above Keuka Lake by Steve DiFrancesco, an ASWA Board member and retired Finger Lakes region winemaker, said Wine America President Jim Trezise.
Fred Frank is the grandson of Dr. Konstantin Frank, who transformed the Finger Lakes and eastern wine industry by sparking the “vinifera revolution” starting in the late 1950s. Trezise said Fred Frank is the family’s third generation “committed to making excellent wines,” with the fourth generation, his daughter, Meaghan, now carrying on the tradition too.

June Birth Flowers – Rose and Honeysuckle
Lucky for those born in June because they get one of the most popular blooms for their birth flower, the rose. However, if they prefer, honeysuckle is also appropriate for them. Both are associated with love! Read More.
Importance of Balance Exercises
Balance is one of those elements that we take for granted, until it is shakey or lost. There are a number of factors that combine for good or bad balance, including age, muscle tone and strength, joint range of motion, and the ability to distribute weight evenly. Balance training can help anyone of any age stay safe. Read more.
Unusual Brownies and Blondies
A brownie only needs five basic ingredients: chocolate, butter, flour, sugar, and eggs. They are basically fudgy and chewy. A blondie is similar but without chocolate they substitute a flavor of caramel or butterscotch. This comes from the brown sugar as opposed to the granulated sugar for a brownie. Read More.
