Believe it or not there are good reds from the finger lakes. I was involved in making the Syrah and know there are other reds that equal that out of the finger lakes. our strength is whites definitely (riesling, pinot gris, gewurzt...) but, there are producers like billsboro making good reds.

I'm also hoping to get sampled on a few more Finger Lakes reds in the coming months so I can keep exploring the region. <br /><br />Some of the other media members who participated were Bill Eyer aka Cuvee Corner, and Matt Horbund aka MMWine. I haven't seen them post Beauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835422435318171027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644181335443143726.post-4911657017800383102012-04-04T14:03:06.944-07:002012-04-04T14:03:06.944-07:00Being honest about your experience is IMPORTANT!

Unfortunately majority of the wines were flawed. With that said- I also look forward to trying more wine from the region.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025778033130456195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644181335443143726.post-52516587731333088782012-04-04T14:00:31.028-07:002012-04-04T14:00:31.028-07:00Interesting post.

I think you need to be honest when you encounter situations like this or you'll lose credibility. <br /><br />I've never tried any reds from the Finger Lakes, but I know for a fact they make some excellent dessert and ice wines. It must be a pretty challenging place to make traditional vinifera reds.<br /><br />Care to share who else participated in the tasting so your T. Starkhttp://www.lavinodolce.comnoreply@blogger.com
