  • Tackling Pinot Noir in the Finger Lakes at Forge Cellars, Partners from the Rhône Valley and New York Meet the Challenge
    Search Site Sign In | Create Account August 2017 Issue of Wines & Vines SUBSCRIBE » Tackling Pinot Noir in the Finger Lakes At Forge Cellars, partners from the Rhône Valley and New York meet the challenge by Ray Pompilio Pinot Noir is a difficult cultivar to grow successfully. Named “the heartbreak grape” by Marq De Villiers in his 1994 book about winemaker Josh Jensen at the Calera Wine Co., it continues to challenge growers and winemakers throughout numerous grapegrowing regions, especially in New York’s cool- climate Finger Lakes. This challenge is being met head-on by a partnership stretching from Gigondas, France, to Hector, N.Y., with its center at Forge Cellars on the east shore of Seneca Lake. The three partners include Louis Barruol, winegrower and winemaker for Chateau de Saint Cosme, owned by his family since 1570 (Barruol is the 42nd family member to serve as winemaker), and two wine professionals in the Finger Lakes: winemaker Justin Boyette and general manager/vineyard manager, Rick Rainey. Forge Cellars’ 2011 vintage, its first, was produced at the Hector Wine Co., where Boyette is winemaker. Each vintage through 2016 was produced there, but Forge now has a brand-new standalone facility built nearby. The winery produces wines only from Riesling and Pinot Noir. The 2015 and 2016 vintages are currently aging at the new winery, and 2017 will be the first vintage produced there. The new, energy-efficient winery facility is a 6,500-square-foot building designed and built under the direction of Rick Rainey. It was constructed of structural insulated panels (SIP) built by Energy Panel Structures Inc.

  • 2014 Update on the Chloride Hydrogeochemistry in Seneca Lake, New York
    A 2014 UPDATE ON THE CHLORIDE HYDROGEOCHEMISTRY IN SENECA LAKE, NEW YORK. John Halfman Department of Geoscience, Environmental Studies Program, Finger Lakes Institute Hobart & William Smith Colleges Geneva, NY 14456 [email protected] 12/10/2014 Introduction: Seneca Lake is the largest of the 11, elongated, north-south trending, Finger Lakes in central and western New York State (Fig. 1). It has a volume, surface area, watershed area, and maximum depth of 15.5 km3, 175 km2, 1,621 km2 (including Keuka watershed), and 188 m, respectively (Mullins et al., 1996). The lake basins were formed by glacial meltwaters eroding and deepening former stream valleys underneath the retreating Pleistocene Ice Sheet cutting into the Paleozoic sedimentary rocks approximately 10,000 years ago. Each basin was subsequently filled with a thick deposit of glacial tills and a thin veneer of pro-glacial lake clays. Basins not completely filled with sediment (e.g., Tully Valley), were subsequently filled with water and slowly accumulating postglacial muds. Seneca Lake is classified as a Class AA water resource by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), except for a few locations along the shore (http://www.dec.ny.gov/regs/4592.html, Halfman et al., 2012). It supplies drinking water to approximately 100,000 people in the surrounding communities. Berg (1963) and Schaffner and Oglesby (1978) noted that chloride concentrations were significantly larger in Seneca Lake, and to a lesser extent in Cayuga Lake, than the other Finger Lakes. Wing et al. (1995) argued that the elevated chloride concentrations required an extra source of chloride beyond the measured fluvial fluxes to the lake.

  • Frozen Cayuga & Seneca Lakes Article with Picture
    When Cayuga Lake and Seneca Lake Have Frozen Over by Walt Gable, Seneca County Historian, Feb. 2009 Whenever we have a good “old-fashioned” winter, it is easy for Seneca County residents to begin to speculate if ‘the lake might soon freeze over.” The odds, while not great, are better that it could happen to Cayuga Lake than Seneca Lake. This is because Cayuga Lake has frozen over several more times in recorded history than has Seneca Lake. Cayuga Lake also froze over more recently (1979) than Seneca Lake (1912). This 1927 picture shows a frozen Cayuga Lake near the village of Cayuga. The infrequent freezing of Seneca Lake has led to a joke that people should put Seneca Lake water in their car’s radiator because this water never freezes. Apparently this comment was frequently mentioned to the trainees at Sampson Naval Station during World War II.1 Arch Merrill in his 1951 book Slim Finger Beckon makes reference to this “modern legend.” Some Basic Information Before going any further in this discussion, there needs to be clarification as to just what constitutes a “frozen over lake.” For our purposes in this article, “frozen over lake” will mean a lake whose surface is virtually entirely frozen over—allowing for some isolated “air holes” and/or areas nearer to shore where there is some “open water,” perhaps because of warm water being discharged. In other words, we will use “frozen over” to mean the same as “virtually completely frozen over.” If a portion of either Cayuga or Seneca Lake has ice extending from some place on the eastern shoreline to the western shoreline, when other parts of the lake are not frozen from shore to shore, this will not be considered as completely frozen over.

Its purpose is to promote the conservation of environmental assets which underpin Seneca County’s economic, cultural and environmental vitality. The key components of this greenprint are lands vital to water quality, agriculture, compatible tourism, and the health of eight natural resource focus areas. Descriptions of each component include an assessment of the resource and potential threats to its long term viability. Recommendations are made for each resource to promote conservation through collaborative and community based efforts. Sprawling development patterns threaten the Finger Lakes Region, degrading agricultural viability, environmental quality and the rural lifestyle held dear to area residents. Given its distance from major urban centers, Seneca County has been spared intense development pressures thus far.

  • 2016 Seneca Lake Water Quality Overview
    Seneca Lake Water Quality Overview Updated October 2017 by Kelly Coughlin and David Youst FIRST, THE BAD NEWS Seneca Lake has too much phosphorus--both in its tributary streams and in the main body of the lake. The best stream had unacceptable levels 73% of the time; the worst had unacceptable levels 100% of the time. When there is too much phosphorus in the water, it can cause algal overgrowth and create conditions where there is not enough oxygen for fish and other aquatic life. Seneca Lake has high bacteria in its streams, which often do not comply with State swimming standards. The best stream had unacceptable bacteria concentrations 44% of the time; the worst had unacceptable concentrations 100% of the time. Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are occurring more often and causing increased concerns. NOW, THE GOOD NEWS Despite growing concern over contamination sources, Seneca Lake is still rated oligotrophic (the best category for lake water quality, with abundant oxygen for aquatic life) along with Keuka, Canandaigua, and Skaneateles Lakes. Among the eight lakes evaluated by the Finger Lakes Institute, Seneca Lake is ranked fourth in water quality, (behind the three lakes mentioned above, and has better quality than Cayuga, Owasco, Otisco, and Honeoye Lakes. Water clarity, nitrogen, chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen, and stream macro-invertebrates are at acceptable levels. Salt levels are continuing to decline in Seneca Lake. A new program called Finger Lakes HUB has been launched by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and is staffed by four water quality professionals. They will be carrying out additional water quality studies and concentrating on the causes of HABs.

  • Plant Powers, Poisons, and Herb Craft
    PLANT POWERS, POISONS, AND HERB CRAFT BY DALE PENDELL Foreword by Gary Snyde, $21.95 US In 'Pharmako/Poeia, Dale Pendell offers a mesmerizing guide to psychoactive Alternative plants, from their pharmacological roots to the literary offshoots. "This is a Health/ book," writes Gary Snyder, "about danger: dangerous knowledge, even more Literature dangerous ignorance." Against the greater danger, ignorance, Pendell strikes a formidable blow, as he proves himself a wise and witty guide to our plant teach- ers, their powers and their poisons. "Dale Pendell reactivates the ancient connection between the bardic poet and the shaman. His Pharmako/Poeia is a litany to the secret plant allies that have always accompanied us along the alchemical trajectory that leads to a new and yet authentically archaic future." — Terence McKenna, author of True Hallucinations "Much of our life-force calls upon the plant world for support, in medicines and in foods, as both allies and teachers. Pendell provides a beautifully crafted bridge between these two worlds. The magic he shares is that the voices are spoken and heard both ways; we communicate with plants and they with us. This book is a moving and poetic presentation of this dialogue." — Dr. Alexander T. Shulgin, University of California at Berkeley, Department of Public Health "Pharmako/Poeia is an epic poem on plant humours, an abstruse alchemic treatise, an experiential narrative jigsaw puzzle, a hip and learned wild-nature reference text, a comic paean to cosmic consciousness, an ecological handbook, a dried-herb pastiche, a countercultural encyclopedia of ancient fact and lore that cuts through the present 'conservative' war-on-drugs psychobabble." - Allen Ginsberg, poet Cover design "Dale PendelFs remarkable book will make it impossible to and color work ever again underestimate the most unprepossessing plant.
