New York Wines | Prices, Types & Reviews

Written By: Brian Freedman on Wednesday, July 12, 2006

New York State produces some of the most interesting wines in America, and it is only for reasons of fashion and assumption that it is not as popular as some of the country's more traditional wine-producing states like California or Oregon. The truth, however, is that New York grows a wider range of grape varieties than any other state in America, and though many of the grapes are not used for wine, the ones that are produce some exceptionally high-quality and enjoyable wines.

Traditionally, New York vineyards primarily grew American grape varieties, including the popular but not terribly high-end Concord and Catawba. But recently, there has been an explosion in the number of traditional grape varieties planted, and these have done remarkably well in the cooler climate of New York State. Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc have shown a great deal of promise, and classic cool-weather varieties like Chardonnay and Riesling produce excellent wines in New York.
