FINGER LAKES: A BRIEF HISTORY
• 1860: Pleasant Valley Wine Company in Hammondsport,
first US bonded winery
• Dr. Frank promoted Vitis vinifera in New York – hired by
like-minded Charles Fournier (French Champagne maker)
and president of Gold Seal Vineyards
• 1962: Dr. Konstantin Frank creates Vinifera Wine Cellars,
which quickly gains reputation for making excellent Riesling
• 1976: New York Farm Winery Act passed, permitting
wineries to sell directly to public
• Dozens of new wineries begin to pop-up along the
Finger Lakes in the 1980s-1990s, focusing on Vinifera

WHY DO THE LAKES MATTER?
THE LAKE EFFECT
• Lake Ontario to the North, warm air currents in the
winter, cool air currents in the summer
• Depth of Finger Lakes provide beneficial “lake effect” to
the vineyards planted on the shores
• Warmer Minimum temperatures in Winter
• Cooler Maximum temperatures in Summer
• Helps compensate for Continental Climate
• Elevation of Vineyard & Distance from Water creates
vineyard diversity
