New York Sommeliers Pour Local

Many of Manhattan's Best Restaurants aren't just about eating local, but drinking local wines, too.




New York City is a wine and Food metropolis, but its also a place with deeply rooted regional farming traditions, placing the locavore moment center stage in fine dining.

It's a little known fact outside of the state that New York is the third largest producer of grapes in the country (after California and Washington).  Over the last decade, quality winemaking in the Finger Lakes Niagara Escarpment, Long Island, and Hudson Valley regions has taken off, and sommeliers are taking note.

Distinctive and expressive of their unique terroir, wines made in New York are making it a region to watch, and explore.
