A lovely fall day in the Finger Lakes Wine Region takes us to the Beak and Skiff Apple Orchards in LaFayette, New York. Beak & Skiff are makers of some very popular Apple Wines.

Typically grapes are used to make wine but wine may also be made from many other fruits and the the excellent apples of the Finger Lakes Wine Region make a very tasty Apple Wine indeed.

As an avid wine lover, one of my favorite things to do-other than relaxing at home with a finely crafted glass of wine-is to visit local wineries and see how it’s all done. To me, it’s a fascinating craft. From the hard work that goes into cultivating the grapes, to the know-how that it takes to turn that crop into a success story. Luckily, living here in Syracuse, we have more than just a handful of Central New York wineries well within driving distance.
