New York State's Finger Lakes region attracts over 25 million visitors every year, making it the state's second-largest tourist destination behind New York City. Besides its beautiful lakes, stunning foliage, and welcoming people, the Finger Lakes has long been known as one of the country's-let alone world's-greatest winemaking regions. Beyond its renowned Rieslings and Chardonnays, the region has seen a rise in the production of craft beers, artisan ciders, and sophisticated spirits. The Finger Lakes Drinking Guide is a comprehensive guidebook to every major winery, brewery, cidery, and distillery in New York State's Finger Lakes region. At the heart of this book are true pioneers-friends and neighbors, many of whom author Michael Turback has come to know during his nearly three decades as a restaurateur in Ithaca, New York. The book features almost 200 establishments, including detailed maps, lively profiles on purveyors, and addresses and contract information for each location, focusing on each producer's specialties, with personal interviews that highlight the identity and personality of each winery, brewery, cidery, and distillery within. Whether you are a local or a visitor to the FLX region-or a reader with a reverence for artisanal wines, beers, ciders, and spirits-this guide will enlighten and entertain even the most seasoned drinker.
