Telling the story of place through wines translated by vines. Rooted in deep gravely loam on the eastern bank of Seneca Lake, protected by a body of water 750 feet deep, bathed in the last rays of the setting sun. This site has volumes to speak, yet everyday we are only able to translate a few phrases. Over time, its story will be told and we are only here to help bring it to you.
