- Deep glacial lakes regulate the cold continental climate; the lakeside slopes of Seneca and Cayuga are the core.
- In 1962, Dr. Konstantin Frank proved that the European species (vinifera) could survive here, starting the history of fine wine on the East Coast (general knowledge).
- Riesling is the flagship (dry to ice wine), and Cabernet Franc is on the rise; the style is closer to Germany/Alsace than California.
- Recent developments have not been verified at this time.
