Wine Wonders from Ukraine to California | Annapolis News
Description
Dr. Konstantin Frank, a Ukrainian immigrant who survived communism and WWI, brought cold-hardy vinifera grapes to New York’s Finger Lakes in 1951—proving skeptics wrong and launching a family winery now spanning 30 states. Their new releases include a zippy $18 Dry Rosé, a crisp $22 Gruner Veltliner, and a richer, oak-aged estate version for $40. Meanwhile, California’s Starfield Vineyards crafts unique Rhone varietals with Sierra spice from high-elevation pine forests, featuring creative pinhole-camera labels. Try their $36 Viognier or tropical Hope Rising blend, plus bold reds like the $42 Grenache. For bubbly, Billecart-Salmon Le Reserve ($69), De Saint-Gall Grand Cru ($50–$60), Telmont Reserve Brut ($74), and Nicolas Feuillatte Rosé ($60) offer flavor-packed celebrations anytime.
