New York's Finger Lakes region is filled with compelling characters, tragic disasters and fascinating mysteries. Famed daredevil Sam Patch, known as the "Yankee Leaper," thrilled audiences at Niagara Falls but took his last jump into the Genesee River with his pet black bear, plummeting to his death. The first ever Memorial Day was celebrated in Waterloo in 1866 and inspired a nation to adopt the holiday. Seneca Lake claims its fair share of ships, including the Onondaga, which was blown up with dynamite as part of a spectacle to commemorate the sinking of the USS Maine. Author Patti Unvericht reveals the forgotten history of the Finger Lakes region.

Yes, there are eleven finger lakes!Even people already familiar with the Finger Lakes will enjoy the illustrations, and delightfully informative poems. The book is a fun way for anyone to learn and recall all the Native American inspired names and some facts about these lakes.The narrator is a character called "Grapie." Wearing his "Finger Lakes at your fingertips" gloves he proudly proclaims he will be "your Finger Lakes guide." He takes readers from east to west, one finger and one lake at a time. Each lake is illustrated on its own page. There's a short list of facts about the lake in the upper left-hand corner of the page labeled "Grapie's Juicy Info!" The clever poems that describe each lake convey the primary substance of the book in a friendly manner. The poems serve as an interesting medium for young readers to discover unique features of the lake, its surrounding areas and added attractions.In the early pages of the book readers are reminded that these beautiful, long, narrow lakes (that's why they're called "finger" lakes) are "?a glacial gift of the Ice Age." In simple terms and illustrations both Native American legend and glacier activity are explained. On "A note from the author" page Hamilton explains the choice of Grapie as narrator. Grapes refuse to grow in just any place. These lakes and their hillsides and soil make for a perfect environment. Throughout the finger lakes area there are about 10,000 acres of grapevines. The Finger Lakes Region produces 90% of wine in New York State, plus other products.Grapes love the lakes!

In 1998, Gary and Rosemary Barletta purchased seven acres of land on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake. Descending to the west from the state route that runs along on the ridge overlooking the lake, the land was fertile, rich with shalestone and limestone bedrock, and exposed to moderating air currents from the lake. It was the perfect place to establish a vineyard, and the Barlettas immediately began to plant their vines and build the winery about which they had dreamed for years. The Barlettas' story, as John C. Hartsock tells it, is a window onto the world of contemporary craft winemaking, from the harsh realities of business plans, vineyard pests, and brutal weather to the excitement of producing the first vintage, greeting enthusiastic visitors on a vineyard tour, and winning a gold medal from the American Wine Society for a Cabernet Franc. Above all, Seasons of a Finger Lakes Winery describes the connection forged among the vintner, the vine, and terroir. This ancient bond, when tended across the cycle of seasons, results in excellent wines and the satisfaction, on the part of the winemaker and the wine enthusiast, of tasting a perfect harvest in a single glass. Today, Long Point Winery sits on seventy-two acres (eight of which are under cultivation with vinifera grapes) and produces sixteen varieties of wine, a number of which are estate wines made from grapes grown on their property. With interest in winemaking continuing to grow, the Barlettas' experience of making award-winning wines offers both practical advice for anyone running (or thinking of running) their own winery, whether in the Finger Lakes or elsewhere, as well as insights into the challenges and joys of pursuing a dream.
