Home to 130 wineries, the Finger Lakes are New York’s largest American Viticultural Area (AVA). And while the region is home to many types of grapes, Riesling continues to reign supreme.

This white grape is home in the AVA’s loamy, silty and gravelly soils and often produces a full spectrum of Riesling styles, ranging from mineral- and citrus-driven dry wines to juicy peach and apple inflected sweet, off-dry and semidry bottlings.

We definitely had a lot of wines to cull through. But here are some of our top picks that are just under $30 and are a great way to get to know this region’s wine.
