Unfortunately, it appears that Dr. K.F. is the only one I can find. Boo Delaware! Thanks Thea, but it looks like I’m SOL on the 3 that you mentioned – can’t get them in my neck of the woods.

Although I have lived in Washington state most of my life, I spent most of my 20s in upstate New York. The Finger Lakes is where I first fell in love with wineries as being the story behind the wine. I was a biologist, living with a chemistry teacher and together we learned about the science of grapes and wine at the knees of Finger Lake winemakers, in between the summer concerts on winery lawns. Back in Washington state, I am also blessed to have a great number of quality wines just out side my back door. I like to support local businesses so I haven't been straying too far outside of Washington wines, except to train and refresh my palate. You have inspired me to take a trip down memory lane amongst the Finger Lakes :-) I love seeing a California blogger covering New York wines.

It was dry but not bone dry, and had nice fruit and some mineral notes and I found well balanced. It was great to have a chance to try so many FL rieslings at the same tasting. thank you Thea and Lenndevours!
