Wine Region
New York
New York wine splits three ways. The Finger Lakes pour Riesling off steep lake slopes, Long Island leans into maritime Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and the Hudson Valley holds some of the oldest vines in the country. It is quietly America's third biggest wine producer, and most of it sits within two hours of the city.
