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.
Most of New York's great wines are made from Riesling, most often in Dry, crisp styles, but also as a deliciously Sweet ice wine. The best of these come from the vineyards around the Finger Lakes. Other successful grape varieties in New York State include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Hybrid varieties such as Vidal and the very American Concord. While much of New York's wine is consumed locally, the state's residents retain a keen interest in wines from the rest of the world.
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.

Gigondas has long been recognised as an exceptional site for winemaking, bu ...
By 1965, the vineyards of Condrieu had largely been abandoned – phylloxera and two world wars had decimated the place and its people. There were just 8ha of vines remaining on these granite slopes. If it weren’t for the hard work of a few steadfast vignerons, the appellation might have disappeared entirely, reclaimed by the forest. Thankfully, Condrieu survived and has since flourished – but great appellations have been lost before. We know this because some have recently been rediscovered. In f ...
