A Visit To Lake Seneca in the Finger Lakes
André took an April visit to lake Seneca - he visited Hillick and Hobbs, Hermann J Wiemer, and Fox Run. This was a return to the United States after his first visit to the Finger Lakes in 2017 when he heard that Paul Hobbs was opening a winery. Miroki and André take some time to unpack the trip and have a conversation about Riesling, Natural Wine, and the Geology and Geography of Lake Seneca.
