Yesterday I was at a meeting with an associate web designer, Internet marketer near Ithaca, NY and overheard a conversation in another room where New York State Wine was being talked about.  So being naturally nosy decided to butt in, of course.

Wine Art Painted Candle

I was introduced to Andrea Presnell who is an exceptionally talented artist that creates custom made, Hand Crafted Wood Wine Boxes and Trays.  Each and every one of Angela’s creations are unique and one of a kind.  What started as a hobby has turned in to a business named Andrea’s Art Boutique and you may see some of her lovely works of art by going to her website at www.AndreasArtBoutique.net.

One of the New York wineries that is very well known is the Vinifera Wine Cellars which is New York State wine history itself. In 1962, Dr. Konstantin Frank founded Vinifera Wine Cellars. Dr. Frank’s research in the growing of grapes in a cold climate was essential to the establishment of the wine industry in the Finger Lakes region of New York. This family business is already in its third generation producing world-class wines that carry the traditions and quality that made this winery the cornerstone of the vineyard industry in America.
