Wine Report 2009, published earlier this month, has named Dr. Konstantin Frank Vinifera Wine Cellars as the “Greatest Wine Producer in the Atlantic Northeast.” This should not be a surprise but a continuing honor as Wine Report, published annually, has awarded Dr. Frank’s the same prestigious award since 2005. Another honor bestowed upon the winery was the selection of Dr. Frank’s 2006 Rkatsiteli as #1 in Most Exciting or Unusual Finds. In addition, Dr. Frank’s 2006 Dry Riesling was selected as one of the Greatest-Quality Wines.

Wine Trail Traveler had the opportunity to visit Dr. Konstantin Frank Vinifera Wine Cellars in 2007 where we were fortunate to be able to talk with Frederick Konstantin, Dr. Konstantin’s grandson. View the resulting article and photos about Dr. Frank’s on the Wine Trail Traveler website.

Dr. Frank’s is located in Hammondsport, New York amidst the beautiful New York Finger Lakes. The Finger Lakes offer visitors beautiful scenery, swimming, boating and hiking as well as numerous friendly wineries to visit. Plan to stay in the Finger Lakes area for several days to take advantage of all it has to offer.
