Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon in structuring support. Fresh Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc in whites (citrus, apple, flowers). AVA (1986), ~2,000 ac, sandy-gravel soils from glacial moraines, ocean breezes preserving acidity.

America's 3rd wine state by volume, striking diversity. Finger Lakes the signature: cool-climate Riesling, dry to off-dry, mineral and lively with notes of lime, apple, evolving petrol and white flowers — a US benchmark. Warmer Long Island for peppery Cabernet Franc and supple Merlot. Hudson Valley (Seyval, Vidal).
