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. Marquette, developed by the University of Minnesota (hence the Prince reference) to withstand cold winters, is well suited for the Finger Lakes. From Ball Vineyards in Interlaken, the grapes for this wine were fermented and put in neutral barrel for 6 months. Blackberry, cherry pop tart, mint.
