Serious Grape: The Next Big Wine Region Is in Your Backyard

I live in Rochester, NY, just north of the Finger Lakes and an hour east of the Niagara-on-the-Lake region. I've been to a lot of wineries in the area, and of course there are a lot of great rieslings here, not just sweet, but good dry ones too. There's some good late harvest and ice wines from the Finger Lakes, but the really great (and expensive) ones are from Niagara-on-the-Lake.

I've also been to several in the central Virginia region (my sister lives in the Shenandoah valley). Obviously there's better red wines there, but Horton Vineyards has a ton of great fruit wines and is one of four wineries in the US that makes rkatsiteli wine.

Some wineries in NY have some wines from other states and countries, but of course not as much as your could find in the state or country itself, due to shipping costs and how much is produced. So definitely by local to support your backyard wineries!
