All Finger Lakes Wineries have been reviewed here on NY uncorked previously, see the top tab for “FingerLakes Wine”.  Nestled in the valleys of the central and western parts of upstate New York State is a series of magnificent gem like bodies of water that are somewhat shaped in the layout on the map similar to fingers on a hand.  These beautiful pure water beauties were created millions of years ago as the glaciers of the ice age receded.  They afford the vineyards of the side hills a golden opportunity to grow some of the best grapes in the world as the waters help to temper the winters blasts and create the perfect growing climate for grapes.
