The Finger Lakes wine region in upstate New York is highlighted as "America's Champagne Region" due to its cool climate, ideal for high-acid, early-ripening grapes like Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Riesling essential for making high quality sparkling wines. Historically a hub for sparkling wine pre-Prohibition, the Finger Lakes saw a revival thanks to pioneers like Willie Frank of Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery. Today, wineries like Hermann J. Wiemer and Domaine LeSeurre produce high-quality traditional method sparkling wines (Champagne stye). The Finger Lakes wine region offers a diverse range of styles, from traditional method Champenois to trendy Pét-Nat, known for their quality and affordability. Educated consumers increasingly appreciate these New York bubbles for their exceptional value and distinct regional character.
