Broad selection with vibrant rieslings and a notable Chardonnay. Friendly staff & good food. The VIP tour is a great behind the scenes look at the winery (ask for Tricia). If your tastes lean to a complex dry red try the 05 Reserve Cab Franc if there's any left.

Newer winery on the northern end of Seneca Lake with some interesting white blends you won't find at other F.L. wineries. The beautiful facilities and view from the back veranda alone make this winery worth a stop

A must stop on the Seneca Lake route if your serious about quality riesling. The 07 Reserve Dry has a wonderful, mineral taste with a long pleasant finish. Among the best I've tasted. Friendly, knowledgable staff a bonus.
