How to Enjoy:
Dr. Frank ignited the “vinifera revolution” that forever has changed the course of winegrowing in the Finger Lakes and the United States. Now run by Dr. Frank’s grandson, the commitment to quality and Dr. Frank’s vision has never waivered. Enjoy a little history, a laugh, and a taste of some of NY State’s most award winning wines.

Trivia:
Did you know that Dr. Konstantin Frank spoke six languages fluently? None of these were English and that barrier plus the skepticism of his co-workers at Cornell University’s Geneva Experiment Station delayed the wine revolution in the US for a decade.
