NEW WINE LIST BRINGS THE FINGER LAKES' FINEST TO ONE PLACE
Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel offers wines from more than 20 local vineyards
03.24.2009 – WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. - March 17, 2009 - Wine connoisseurs and casual tasters might find it easier to sample the flavors and smell the aromas of Finger Lakes Wines, thanks to the Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel. The upscale hotel recently unveiled its 2009 wine list - a collection of 56 sparkling, white, red and dessert wines to satisfy any palate.
More than 2/3 of the hotel’s extensive wine list is comprised of Finger Lakes Wines, coming from the nearby Cayuga, Keuka and Seneca Lake wine trails.
The Finger Lakes Region boasts a rich variety of wines for every taste, but it’s known for crisp, sweet and fruitful Rieslings. The hotel’s wine list includes six Riesling selections alone, all from the Seneca and Keuka Lake wine trails.
“The Finger Lakes Region offers a world-class wine tasting experience, and we brought an exceptional variety of local flavors to our Coldwater Bar and dining room,” said Floyd Hunter, general manager, Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel. “Our guests can choose from a wide variety of Finger Lakes wines, produced at more than 20 local vineyards, to complement any meal or occasion. They can practically take a wine tour without having to leave the hotel.”
The Finger Lakes Wine Region includes vineyards in Chemung, Steuben, Schuyler and Yates counties. The Cayuga Lake Wine Trail is the oldest and longest-running wine trail in New York State, and one of the oldest in the country.
