You may have already heard that Finger Lakes rieslings will be featured on episode 2 of Vine Talk with celebrity host Stanley Tucci.
In this first video clip, Ray Isle of Food & Wine introduces the region and talks about the influence the lakes have on the vines and wines.





Did that dishy blonde look bored and impatient at times, or is it my imagination?

I just finished watching the whole episode and was, frankly, disappointed. I know, it's not for people who really understand wine - it's for the average person who wants to know more about enjoying wine. But there was so little actual content. Maybe 2 minutes on what makes the Finger Lakes special, 2 minutes mixed in on what makes for a good Riesling, 1 minute on food pairing, and the rest was Nathan Lane giggling.
It's great to see Finger Lakes wine getting such a high placement on a sure-to-be-watched show. It's not so good to hear so little discussion about the wine itself or how you pick one you might like. As a consumer, I can see someone walking into their local wine store and asking for the Thirsty Owl or Chateau Lafayette Renaud wines - and having no reason why other than that they saw it on TV. Is that really what it's come down to?
