New York State: A Winemaking Melting Pot

A place where anything is possible.

Written by Decanter. November 19, 2022.

If New York State’s so-called vinifera revolution had its main instigator in German-born Dr. Konstantin Frank, it could be said that another revolution, happening now, is also a product of equally passionate migrants. Winemakers both from other American regions and far-flung countries are still drawn to the Empire state, as a place where challenges and opportunities provide an ideal context to develop their skills and craft. It’s against this backdrop of collaboration and possibility that a vibrant community of growers and winemakers have turned New York wine from local passion to international phenomenon.
