Description
This book provides a history of the early wineries, such as Taylor Wine Company, Pleasant Valley Wine Company, and Urbana / Gold Seal wineries in Hammondsport and Widmer Wine Cellars in Naples. The many wineries that went out of business during Prohibition are discussed as well as Paul Garretts Garrett & Company, which moved north to Penn Yan. Walter S. Taylor of Bully Hill Vineyards, promoter of French American Hybrid grape varieties, and Dr. Konstantin Frank, cool-climate pioneer and driver of the renaissance with European varieties, are highlighted.
