Finger Lakes Rieslings on WineIsSeriousBusiness.com

By Lenn Thompson, Editor-in-Chief

Late last week, I stumbled upon the above video from WineIsSeriousBusiness.com, an online wine show that I found very interesting, charming even.

Sure, I was mostly interested because I saw three Finger Lakes rieslings on the table in front of them -- Dan and Chas that is. But what I liked most was that they seemed like two people very much like myself. Sure, they are clearly wine enthusiasts, geeks maybe. But at the same time, they are real people with real, honest passion for fermented grape juice.

They aren't hawking wine for a wine shop. The videos are simple and straightforward. These are the kinds of guys I'd like to hang out with I think.

Anyway, I thought it was worth sharing, even if it's a bit longer than I'd usually post.

And, after emailing with Dan a few times, I can safely say that you'll see some more New York coverage from these guys. We're already talking about swapping some New York wine from my cellar for some Oregon wine from their cellars. Should be fun.

It's funny watching dudes getting wasted...thanks! And yes, Hermann would punch him in the face for saying that. LOL!

Gary Vanerchuk meets Bob and Doug McKenzie. It is great to see some validation for our quality Riesling from others outside of the region.
