There are 11 lakes in the Finger Lakes region, but wine production is focused in only three of them: Keuka Lake; Cayuga Lake, where Ithaca and Cornell sit at the southern tip; and Seneca Lake, the largest lake in the Finger Lakes system and the one that’s now widely considered by winemakers to have the region’s best terroir.
Visiting all three in a day would be quite the undertaking, even though they sit side by side. A better move is to tackle one lake at a time. If time is tight, focus on Keuka and Seneca, where the best wine is being produced.
If you only have time for one day of visits and tastings, make sure they’re on Seneca Lake. Your first stop is Herman J. Wiemer, the region’s best winery, for a sampling of its stellar single-vineyard Rieslings and sparkling wines. Like Dr. Frank, Herman J. Wiemer was one of the founders of the region, emigrating from Mosel, Germany in the 1960s and establishing both a winery and a nursery in New York State. In 2003, Wiemer’s apprentice, Fred Merwath, took over the winery and brought on his Cornell college friend, agronomist Oskar Bynke, as co-owner.
Together the two are making the region’s most exciting wines. While they do not refer to their wines as “natural,” their entire process could be classified as such. No pesticides or herbicides are used in the vineyards, and the wines are naturally fermented in the winery, with fermentation often taking eight months or more. Merwath believes this slow fermentation is essential for creating complexity and depth of flavor in his Rieslings, and it is apparent in the results.
After visiting Wiemer, drive around to the east side of the lake to Boundary Breaks. On your way you may want to stop in Geneva at Monaco’s Coffee for some much-needed quality coffee and a bite to eat.
Boundary Breaks is a younger winery but probably the region’s fastest-rising star. Founded by Bruce Murray and his wife Diana Lyttle, the winery was built as close to Seneca Lake as possible in order to fully take advantage of the lake effect. Drainage tiles were installed under the entire vineyard to reduce moisture and force the vines to struggle, thereby producing higher-quality fruit. Boundary Breaks produces wines that are drinkable now, but also some options that you’ll want to cellar. Its Dry Riesling #239, named for the Riesling #239 clone that’s used to make the wine, is stunning, a beautiful balance of ripe fruit and bright acidity. The winery also makes some of the area’s best sweet, late-harvest Riesling; make sure to taste the Spätlese-style #198. It’s a lower-alcohol wine whose sweetness is balanced by wonderful acidity, making it ideal for pairing with spicy food.
If you find yourself in the mood for red wine, make your last stop of the day Hickory Hollow, back on the west side of Seneca Lake. It serves as the tasting room for Nathan Kendall’s N. Kendall wines, and proves that good Pinot Noir can indeed be made in the region.
