Chateau Grand Traverse is the region’s leading producer. The Whole Cluster Riesling is slightly off-dry though definitely not sweet, showing excellent fruit and texture.” —Washington Post “This might seem to be the last place to look for remarkable Rieslings, but since 1998 Sean O’Keefe has pushed the development of this medium-dry wine ahead at a pace not seen in America since the Apollo space program of the 1960s. The fennel and anise notes add complexity to the apple and pear fruit (in warm years, like 2012, there are also some exotic fruits). If you wonder what the mineral taste in wine really is, then try this and look out for the salty note in the aftertaste.” —LA Times “This is great stuff. This is world-class wine.” —Dan Berger, Noted Wine Author & Columnist “To my mind – and I was by no means alone in my enthusiasm – the most interesting wine by far, a wine I thought might be a wild-fermented dry German, was Chateau Grand Traverse, Lot 49 2010 Old Mission Peninsula, a relatively new addition to the range of wines made by this energetic Riesling

    fee. After visiting Australia with his Peter Bell wife in the early 1980s, Bell applied and was accepted to the enology Fox Run Vineyards program at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga. After graduation, he found his way to the Finger Lakes – via New Zealand. Bell had been working as an assistant winemaker in Marl- borough and looking for a way out, when he met an American harvest intern at neighboring Cloudy Bay winery. When Bell confided his desire to move on, the intern sug- gested he go to the Finger Lakes, because of its potential for produc- ing world-class riesling. Bell took the advice. When he arrived in the Finger Lakes in 1990, he contacted the only company in the region he had heard of: Tay- lor Wine Co. As it happened, Tay- lor was about to go bankrupt, but the receptionist told him that Dr. Frank’s down the road was looking for a winemaker. Bell got the job. He stayed with the winery until 1995, when Fox Run owner Scott Osborn – whom Bell had gotten to know while judging V&WM’s Inter- For going on 20 years, Peter Bell has national Eastern Wine Competition been the winemaker at Fox Run Vineyards – asked Bell to become his wine- on Seneca Lake, turning heads not only with maker. his artfully made Finger Lakes rieslings, but At Fox Run, Bell takes a science- also his pinot noir, cabernet franc and lem- based approach to winemaking, berger wines. but doesn’t consider himself to be Bell’s most notable wines include Fox a hard-core traditionalist.
