'03 Glenora Dry Riesling

[Thomas]

AlpineOeno,

I don't disagree with your advertising assessment, but that wasn't the subject I addressed with bernkastler. He has never heard of the Finger Lakes because they do a poor job at letting people know--plain and simple.

Secondly, I get truly tired of hearing NY winery owners complain about the lack of respect and lack of quality promotion that they get, and then when called to spend a few bucks on such things they give the argument--we sell near everything we make at the tasting room. If you want to be respected in the big time, you must play in the big time game. Otherwise, stick to your marketing plan and stop whining.

Third, I've been in the wine business for 20 plus years--14 of them spent in the Finger Lakes wine business. I find the wines far better than the promotion of them.
