Ria's Wines, Riesling, "Grace," Seneca Lake, Finger Lakes, New York 2024

Mike Penn and Ria d'Aversa met while studying Enology at UC Davis. After graduating, they honed their craft in Napa Valley and Sonoma County before moving to the Finger Lakes to start Ria's Wines.

Mike's passion and dedication to winemaking were clear early on; he graduated at the top of his class. While he focused on Enology and winemaking, Ria took a greater interest in the viticultural aspects of the business.

Grace Vineyard is Estate Grown, overlooking Seneca Lake. That is a profound Riesling—expressive, floral, and broad-shouldered. It could easily rival some of the finest names in the world of Riesling, not only from the Finger Lakes but from all over the globe.
