After growing up in the Finger Lakes and attending Cornell for winemaking, Ben Riccardi traveled around the world working at wineries before returning home to start his own, Osmote.  Sourced from vineyards on Seneca Lake, this wine benefitted from a great vintage in 2024 with a lush palate, spice and vanilla from French Oak barrels and bright orchard fruit. Year after year, this is one of our favorites.
