Synopsis

The Finger Lakes wine region is the fastest growing in America. Each summer, millions of visitors spill into the tasting rooms of wineries throughout the region, bringing almost a billion in tourism dollars. It now routinely draws review attention from the likes of Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and many other major wine publications and newspapers. Riesling and Gewurztraminer are the gold standard these days, but light reds like Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc are also making a lot of noise. Now journalist Evan Dawson brings together a colourful retinue of the people working in the region, from immigrant German winemakers, to Native American viticulturists, to new, technically trained winemakers, fresh from their degrees. Filled with fun and likable characters, this wonderful book combines personalities, a region and wine as never before, bringing to life the burgeoning Finger Lakes.
