  Casa Larga Chardonnay Finger Lakes Limited Release French Oak Reserve 2001

  Snoothrank: Starting at $17^.00

  We are not typically white wine drinkers but this we really enjoyed. Nice smokey oak and earthy flavor. Price is high.

  Just came back from my first NY wine experience - a friend's wedding at Wolffer ... We have yet to try out the Finger Lakes - but I am definitely looking forward to some trips

I stand in concurrence with schellbe - Lamoreaux, Standing Stone, Wiemer, and Lafayette are some of the best (and Dr Frank, though highly touted, does do a great job too). Also give Anthony Road a shot - Wine Spectator thinks rather highly of what their doing. They have some very nice wines, and a German winemaker. In addition to Riesling and Cab Franc, there are some very good Meritage blends being produced, as well as ice-style wines. My knowledge of the Hudson Valley is limited to Brotherhood. I think they make some fine wines, and their Blanc de Blanc is decent for the price (a lot better than Andre's or Cook's). From what I've heard they have recently undergone a quality revolution with their wines, and they continue to improve year over year.    (hide)

  I pour Finger Lakes wine as a volunteer - best "job" in the world, as you meet lots of people from all over the world and are usually making them happy! Our Rieslings are wonderful and it is hard to find a truly bad one (OK, there are a few that are not so hot...). One of my...

Our Rieslings are wonderful and it is hard to find a truly bad one (OK, there are a few that are not so hot...). One of my favorites is from Red Tail Ridge which is on Seneca Lake. I am a dry Riesling fan although some of the semi-drys I do enjoy....    (hide)

Read moreWineGeek I would expect ripe fruit from Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc every third or fourth year, and then only if they don't overcrop. Heron Hill is a good producer, as are a few others. Among reds, only Cab Franc and Pinot Noir ripen there. The body and fruit should be similar to the Loire, much lighter than the CA products. Which style you like is a matter of personal preference.    (hide)

  Fox Run Vineyards Pinot Noir 2007

  Snoothrank:

  aromas of vegetal, earthiness with underlying red cherry fruit. the flavor components are quite complex allowing for the earthiness and red fruit combination to hold it's own, a delicate, very elegant wine with a wonderful length

  Fox Run Vineyards Riesling Dry 2008

  Snoothrank:

  more peach, pear and melon characteristics than the minerality and petrol, those components are more subtle, a light wine with high acidity

  Dr. Konstantin Frank Pinot Noir 2007

  Snoothrank:

  immediate bing cherry, cranberry, and layers of red fruit dominate the nose. more earthy and spicy on the palate, complex and exotic with a very nice finish

  Dr. Konstantin Frank Dry Riesling Finger Lakes 2007

  Snoothrank:

  peach, pear, citrus fruits with hints of petrol and slatey minerality on the nose. the flavor profile is very aromatic filled with peach, pear, honeydew fruits, a little floral with a mineral and citrus finish, very nice balance of acidity and very much expresses the terroir.

  You can also check out the story about the wine master at Ravines, who studied astrophysics before returning to his winemaking roots. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20091110/ENT0304/91109018 Read moreYou can also check out the story about the wine master at Ravines, who studied astrophysics before returning to his winemaking roots. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20091110/ENT0304/91109018    (hide)

  I haven't had a chance to try any Finger Lakes Rieslings in a while, but I remember liking the wines of Fox Run, Hermann Wiemer, and Sheldrake Point a lot.
