The Finger Lakes area of upstate New York is America’s largest wine region outside of California. The steep, rocky hillsides rising up from deep, glacier-sculpted lakes provide protection from weather extremes, allowing area wineries to produce up to 85 million bottles of wine each year. In GREETINGS FROM THE FINGER LAKES, local restaurateur Michael Turback profiles the best wineries, restaurants, farms, and markets surrounding the five largest lakes, and includes interviews with the proprietors, tasting notes, and even a few treasured local recipes. Featuring contact information for each location as well as photographs of the region’s picturesque landscapes, GREETINGS FROM THE FINGER LAKES is the food and wine lover’s companion to this up-and-coming culinary hot spot.
A veteran restaurateur for nearly three decades, MICHAEL TURBACK is a founding partner of The New York First Company, an online department store, and a resident of beautiful Ithaca, New York.
“The next wave in rural chic.”—Travel and Leisure“The glacier-scarred landscape of the Finger Lakes region in northwestern New York is a great place to hike, ski, fish, and swim. The sloping terrain and complex soil are hospitable to more than 80 wineries, many of which have sprung up in the past decade….You may even find the region reminiscent of the budding Napa Valley of the late 1970s.” —Time Magazine
