After working for the State government in Albany and assisting with the passage of the New York Farm Winery Bill in 1976, we decided to embark on an adventure - founding and owning our own winery. So we purchased land on the west side of Cayuga Lake, planted vines and were bonded NY Farm Winery #44 in 1982 - one of the first farm wineries in the Finger Lakes region. Seeing how the grapes are grown and made into wine can be fun as well as an education. We cultivate 11 different varieties on our estate including Riesling, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Chambourcin, Seyval Blanc, Vignoles, and Marechal Foch. Our son carries this tradition into the next generation.

It's harvest again (well, almost). Our 45th harvest! Thankfully Larry is taking over. It's been fun. These are our Chelois Grapes with the flash tape we put on every year to advise the birds that they shouldn't eat our grapes. It doesn't hurt them, just suggests that they dine elsewhere.

A group of people came here on Thursday when our tasting room isn't open for anyone to walk in. They made their reservation last February! It was perfect for them and for us. They had their own w**ery and we were so fortunate to have the time to talk with them. They were full of energy. Their laughter was contagious. And we ended with a photo op. Hopefully they will return.

Last week the NY W**e Policy Institute held Sip & Sample in Albany. Larry and 18 other New York w**eries poured sips of our w**es for legislators and others to sample. It was sponsored by Senator Michelle Hinchey and Assembly Member Donna Lupardo so w**ery owners can meet legislators - and so we can show how New York vineyards benefit everyone in the state!

Tied about 1000 mylar holographic streamers on the Marechal Foch vineyard wires to keep the birds and deer out. It worked!

Tied about 1000 holographic mylar tape to vineyard wires to keep birds and deer out of the Marechal Foch. Pretty. And it worked!

Since our small Estate W**ery is open only 2-4 days a week; 6 months of the year we have the opportunity to offer private tastings. Most recently a group of corporate leaders came here for an afternoon of tasting, enjoying their own w**ery and the space and view from the deck. They were interested in learning more about the w**es and vineyard - and we had a wonderful few hours with them. Thank you, Pat, for bringing your colleagues here.

Our Pinot Noir is in Veraison. Turning red. Mid August is early for this. But they look good.

Will you vote for Jazz and Boots? Two, bonded, large black. They love being in the vineyard so one photo is there. Another Boots' head is on Jazz's back. The other one is both of them, holding paws, looking out the deck door.
