finger lakes

Hey there! My name is Kari and I'm your new midday girl on Big Frog 104. I travelled over 2800 miles to come to Central New York and am loving it so far. I'm a little quirky, so I've put together a quick guidebook to get to know me a bit. Think of it as Kari 101.

Wine County in the Finger Lakes is home to more than 100 wineries. One has been pouring wine since 1962 and has been named one the best in the country.

Coming this summer you'll be able to drink wine that's infused with hemp, but only in New York State.

Scary news for fans of apples and hops here in Central New York: a spotted lanternfly, an invasive insect has been found in the heart of the Finger Lakes.

There are thousands of wineries spread across the U.S. and the best of the best is right in our backyard.

Have you ever wondered if the Finger Lakes here in New York actually help produce snow? It turns out, they may actually help create snow. How though?

Think about this for a second: California produces approximately 90 percent of wine in the United States. Where else can you find great wine outside of that region? Well look to the Finger Lakes!

Looking for a beautiful drive this fall? Take a trip to the Finger Lakes. That region of New York has been named the best in America for wine and fall colors.
