If you’re a beginner at wine tasting it is a fascinating world to enter into. My husband and I were never wine drinkers until we moved to the Finger Lakes area of New York. There are tons of local wineries located on the lakes here. Since we have so many in our backyard it makes wine tasting a nice weekend outing for us.
Today is a very nice day for early November in upstate New York. Blue skies with a chill and crispness in the air. It’s a wonderful day for a wine tasting if you ask me!
Winemaking starts with a selection of grapes. Have you ever wondered what certain grapes look like on the vine before they are used to make wine? Driving around the Finger Lakes area I have been noticing vineyards hanging heavy with grapes. I was not very familiar with recognizing the particular type of grapes hanging on the vine so I thought it would be interesting to do a little research and share it with you. Over the next few posts I’ll share descriptions on several grapes grown here in the Finger Lakes. These posts will be quite simple just to give a basic knowledge.
