Welcome back to part 3 of our four-part series on the Finger Lakes wine region. I am joined by Richard Rainey, Managing Partner of Forge Cellars. His energy is going to make you feel on top of the world. Of course we will talk a little bit about Seneca lake, where they are based, but we will be discussing their use of wild yeasts and how that affects the fermentation and flavours compared with commercial yeasts. Richard will be talking about all the interesting things he is doing out in the vineyard to be more sustainable and you will learn why geology has a huge effect on the flavour of his Rieslings.
