The Finger Lakes New York is the perfect destination for fishing, boating, hiking, and outdoor activities! Unless of course, you come to New York wine country in the dead of winter, at which point your activities may change a bit. But don’t panic! The Finger Lakes are just as enjoyable and breathtaking in the winter cold as they are during the hot summer months. Between the beautiful lakes (Lake Seneca, Cayuga & Keuka), breathtaking nature seen at Watkins Glen State Park & Taughannock Falls, and wineries like Sheldrake, Fox Run and the legendary Dr. Konstantin Frank, this episode of V is for Vino has everything to make your next wine trip to New York a memorable one! More importantly, the Finger Lakes New York is home to one of the most iconic, misunderstood, and versatile grape varieties around...and, much like the midwesterner in me, it happens not to mind a little cold weather. I’m talking of course about Riesling. Learn why cool-climate wines are all the rage in the Finger Lakes on this episode of America's #1 Wine Show, V is for Vino!
