It's all about home winemaking.  We do it.  We promote it.  We encourage it. How?  The committee sponsors an annual home winemaking seminar, where we draw on the knowledge and experiences of home winemakers, professional winemakers from the Finger Lakes, winery consultants, and the personnel of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, NY (part of Cornell University), as speakers.    While you are here do take a look at the "Winemaking Help" page.  It has all of the handouts that are available at the seminar.  Likewise, the "Links" page will give you more winemaking resources.  It is our hope that you can use this site to help you make better wine at home. 

Our committee members are:   Peter A. Frisch
