Have a great time. Agree with Evan on Red Newt ‘Circle Riesling.’
FL now producing some fantastic reds as well. Personal faves are Damiani Wine Cellars and Red Newt on the Seneca Trail and Heron Hill and Dr.Konstantin Frank on the Keuka Trail.

Hello Evan, thanks for kind reply! In fact, we are on Twitter, which is how we came to know Lenn in the first place. You can find us there at @swirlgirls. My cohort (Sweet) Libby takes the lead on our social networking, and she’s got some great conversations going already. Send us a tweet. — Earthy

Earthy -

Not only do you have good taste, but you write in a fun, approachable style. Very nicely done. Red Newt is trying to expand distribution to more states with their new 2008 Riesling (jovially called “Circle Riesling” because of its circular label). It clocks in at 3.2 RS, but is pretty darn balanced and a nice intro to FL Riesling for people in other states.

Are you on Twitter? There’s a hearty NY wine community and we’d love to converse more with you. Cheers.

Thanks Rebe, I’m glad you enjoyed the article! Needless to say, doing the “research” for it was indeed a pleasure. With family in that area, I do get up there on occasion and look forward to visiting more wineries on different lakes, so thanks for the suggestions. We did visit the Gorge at Watkins Glen, which was stunning!

Thanks for the tip on Total Wine. I probably overlooked them in the past at the store, since I wasn’t too knowledgeable about them until recently!

What a pleasure it was to read this article – having moved here two years ago from spending 14 years in Canandaigua. Needless to say, many wine “tours” took place. I hope you will have an opportunity to return to the Finger Lakes Region and enjoy Knapp’s, Goosewatch, Thirsty Owl and Hosmer’s wineries, just to name a few of my favorites on Cayuga Lake. A trek to view the highest falls east of the Mississippi – Taughanock Falls – is also a wonderful side trip!

Total Wine in PBG carries a selection of Finger Lakes wines. Mostly Dr. Frank, Bully Hill, and Hunt Country but there are others from time to time. Go in and ask the manager to get more.
