'03 Glenora Dry Riesling

[AlpineOeno]

foodie,

i agree with your assessment of the wines, but the lack of advertising doesn't have too much to do with a lack of coordination. The region sells their wines at market value for the quality level, and sells through its production for the most part. This is especially true of Long Island wines. The truth is, more advertising dollars wouldn't increse prices significantly, and until the regions commit to making a drive at increacing vineyard area, and therefore increasing production, larger add campaigns would have diminishing returns at this point. Hell, half of the wineries on Long Island sell their juice along the 90 mile stretch between the north fork and manhattan, and sell out!!!!
