Riesling tasting at The Mark

[Scoop]

There were no Finger Lake(FL) wines among the 10 we sampled, but there are 8 on The Mark's Summer Riesling Festival list, including 5 from Hermann Wiemer Vineyards (dry, 1995 and 1997; semi-dry 1995; late harvest 1995; and bunch late harvest 1987, at $17.50 a glass!) 1 from Standing Stone Vineyards, 1 from Dr. Konstantin Frank and 1 from McGregor Vineyard.

I've also noticed more FL late harvest Rieslings popping up on NYC restaurant wine lists.

Another FL winery (I don't recall which one)has appeared at the Union Square Green Market on Saturdays -- with late harvest Rieslings. Next time they are there, I'll pick up one to sample.
