That was a portion of what I brought home from a Finger Lakes trip a few years ago. We will go back in 1.5 years for our 30th anniversary and load the truck up with more this time. The Finger Lakes wines are very easy to drink, compared to how heavy the Cali wines can be. The best of the lot was the Leidenfrost Baco Noir and I may bring a case of that home next trip.
 
Finger Lakes - very well aquainted with the wines in that region. My wife and I made a "study" of them every time we dropped our daughter off at school, or picked her up from RIT.

Here's my recommendations for better vineyards in the area:

Keuka Lake
- Ravines
- McGregor

Seneca Lake
- Atwater (but you already know that I see)
- Ravines (yes, they are on both lakes)

The "best" wines in the region are their whites. The red's just don't have a full enough season to mellow down a bit, and as a result tend to be bitey and tannic, which age doesn't change very much. However, there is a vast taste difference from winery to winery even for the same wine style (dry reislings, semi-dry reislings, gewruztraminer, etc.) with the dryer offerings being more complex than their sweeter cousins.

But then, that's the fun of it ... going from winery to winery and just enjoying the day, and the wines, and the views (it is just so damn beautiful on those lakes on a sunny day). Have a great trip.
 
Thanks for the tip Bob. We had a blast the first time, because our anniversary is May 3rd, and in almost every winery, we were the only ones.
At Wagner, we sampled 23 wines and then 7 beers and then had a hard time with our itinerary that day.
 
Would love to buy a drive through bottle shop that gives away vinyl if you hit the jackpot & also sell stereo gear with a bent on ergonomics.... we shall see he who hangs :D :snicker:
