We have been asked to update this post to reflect post-pandemic conditions. The original post was written at the height of the pandemic, so obviously much of it does not apply anymore. Masks are no longer required, food purchase is no longer required, and seating lmits are no longer in place at wineries, but some of the original post still applies.

But this can be simply done by Googling what you are interested in such as Best Finger Lakes Dry Rieslings, Best Finger Lakes Belgian Beers, e...
