“Ravines Wine Cellars in the Finger Lakes, NY with Tasting Rooms in both Geneva and Hammondsport makes dry, classical, terroir-driven wines on over 130 acres of estate vineyards. Founded in 2001 and family-owned and operated ever since by Morten and Lisa Hallgren, Morten was born and trained as an oenologist / winemaker in Provence and Bordeaux France, before moving to the region and pioneering the bone-dry, mineral-tinged riesling style that the region is now famous for. Ravines utilizes minimal intervention in the cellar and employs sustainable winegrowing practices on steep-sloping vineyards with limestone and shalestone soils. They have won numerous honors and played a major role in elevating the Finger Lakes region on the world stage as a top cool-climate wine destination.” Proprietress Lisa Hallgren joins us to uncork all that is Ravines Wine Cellars.Food, Wine and Travel Magazine (FWT Magazine) is the official online magazine of the prestigious International Food Wine and Travel Writers Association, a group of distinguished professional, global travel writers. “Join the writers of the International Food, Wine & Travel Writers Association as they take you around the globe to explore the most exciting stories in food, wine and travel.
