October 26, 2020 by Ray Fister No Comments

Hard to believe it but this is our first interview with a winemaker from the Finger Lakes region of New York State. Lynne Fahy is the new head winemaker at Keuka Spring Vineyards and like most winemakers, passion brought here there. Lynne said something that stuck with me…”You never meet someone who used to be a winemaker”. How true that is! Lynne has a great future ahead and it was my pleasure to learn more about this fantastic winemaking region.

You can also hear Lynne on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Chewy”
