Owner Susan Higgins of Heart & Hands Wine Company of upstate New York will be with us to explain why and how she and her husband Tom Higgins selected the area and land that they purchased to develop a new winery on Cayuga Finger Lake. Susan will describe the five unique wines she has selected for our event. The Finger Lakes of upstate New York has many wineries producing a mix of wines from many different grapes. The Higgins dreamed about farming grapes that would produce luscious wines from mostly Burgundian varietals. See their website for more: https://heartandhandswine.com/
