New York may not be particularly famous for its wines, but the state is home to a significant number of vineyards and wineries. It ranks third among U. S. wine-producing states in terms of Volume produced, surpassed only by Washington State and of course California.

The shelves of New York's best wine stores are better stocked than any other place on the planet. New York State is located in the northeastern United States, between the Atlantic coast and the U. S. border with Canada.
