Finger Lakes Friday Interview With Christina Chely [Audio]

Spring into Riesling - Riesling Rocks in the Finger Lakes!

Riesling is the region's most widely planted Vinifera variety, with almost 1000 acres. The microclimate condition and the slate soils that are so special to the Finger Lakes is exactly what makes Riesling thrive. Considering all this, it is no wonder why the Finger Lakes is one of the top Riesling producing regions in the world. The wineries of Finger Lakes Wine Country continue to be internationally recognized for their world-class Rieslings and are now making history. Finger Lakes Rieslings have been featured in Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Food & Wine, Wine & Spirits, Decanter, among others and have won many prestigious medals at wine competitions like Riesling du Monde (Rieslings of the World).

Celebrate all things Riesling

There is so much to see, do and taste that we will Spring into Riesling on April 1, 2011. Throughout April and May, celebrate all things Riesling. From special Riesling tastings with some of the area's leading winemakers, Riesling-themed dinners and getaway packages, there is an abundance of events and promotions. Those participating wineries will be flying their Riesling flags and there will be something special happening every day.
