Oswego, NY – Grant Reeher speaks with Bob Wojnar, the national sales manager for Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery in the Finger Lakes. Bob provides a fascinating background of the development of wine making in the area, why the area does better with certain kinds of grapes, and the place of wine in the economic development of the region. The conversation spans the wine universe, from the finer points of local "terroir" to the wine slushy at the State Fair.
