However, the Finger Lakes region also produces a wide range of other wines, including reds, whites, and rosés. In this presentation, Bruce Smoller (Certified Educator, Wine and Spirits Educational Trust, WSET 3), will describe and explore several of these other regional wines that are also very worthy of our attention. Some of the varieties will be familiar to most of you, but made in uncommon styles, and others will be varieties that you may not have ever encountered. The chosen wines have an enormous range of styles and flavors and hopefully there will be something new to expand everyone’s horizons and knowledge about our (relatively) local wines!The presentation is $15, Wine tasting pours are included in your ticketBlaufrankish - Weis VineyardsCabernet franc - Buttonwood GroveGruner Vetliner - Dr. FrankUnbaked chardonnay - Fox RunDry Rose - GlenoraAbout the PresenterDr. Smoller has had a passion for wine since his days living near Napa Valley.
