THE WINE GUY
Wine Guy Recommendations This month, I’m highlighting our neighbors to the north, wineries in the Geneva area. I’ve been very impressed with the strides made over the past decades that have led to many award-winning wines. I recommend trying these great white and rose offerings in the beautiful atmosphere these wineries provide. I look forward to featuring red selections in the future, as well as additional Geneva-area wineries. — John M. Webster WINE
