We live in the Finger Lakes, where wineries are a huge part of the economy.
Several years ago, I read an article about Herman Wiemer's wines being served in the first class section of flights to and from Germany. That piqued my interest, so we visited it, and have loved it ever since. We also enjoy Dr. Frank's very much. Many wineries come and go within a few years, but these two have stood the test of time. There is every imaginable note available.
Sadly, I have not found reds from the Finger Lakes that I enjoy as much. We really attempt to support local, so only buy the FL wines. This is going to be particularly important this year, as up to 70% of grape buds were destroyed by hard frosts a week or so ago.
