Colloca Estate Winery’s Lake Effect Vineyard® has been an annual award winner since it first entered the NYIWC in 2015. That year, the 2013 Colloca Lake Effect Wineyard® Riesling won Double Gold, a highly prestigious award for a fledgling winery.

“We’ve proven over and over again that the terroir along the Great Lake Ontario makes our wines competitive with any wines produced in New York State,” said founder, CEO and Chief Wine Taster, Dr, Chris Colloca. “As our vines mature, we will continue to produce excellent vintages that we hope will to delight both casual wine drinkers and connoisseurs”.
