Latest News - With Deck the Halls Weekends around the corner, we are announcing our "12 Wine Days of Christmas" limited edition wine sets! Each bottle features a song from our parody song, performed by several owners and tasting room managers from a variety of member wineries at the left. For event attendees, click here to download and print the poster you'll need to take full advantage of this fun aspect of our popular event. And as always, a hearty thanks to The Christmas House, our event co-sponsor, that will be giving away the 12th bottle at their remarkable store in Elmira to event attendees that have purchased the first 11 bottles!

And, while I was out bombing around the Trail for this event, also stopped by Finger Lakes Distilling and chatted with the owner of this new business, scheduled for opening June 2009.

Over the course of the last few years, the Seneca Lake Wine Trail has been busily getting involved in the most popular social media sites, including Twitter , MySpace , Facebook and YouTube . With over 100 different clips on our YouTube channel, hundreds of pics posted up on MySpace and Facebook, plus contests announced exclusively through those sites, getting engaged with the Trail online is more engaging than ever. At left is a brief clip where Ventosa Vineyard's winemaker, Jenna LaVita explains the concept of "bud break" and what it could mean to the 2010 harvest.

Unfortunately the wind was overwhelming, the mic lame, and so this clip is largely unlistenable unfortunately.

Paul interviews Hazlitt spokesperson Brad about their popular winery, wines and more. Apologize for the wind, we're still learning a lot about our camera!

Another lite interview with winery staff at the ever-popular Red Newt Cellars winery in the Finger Lakes Region of NY state. Another glorious winter day, though I apologize for the obnoxiously persistent wind that diminished this clips audio quality.
