Osmote Seminar With Ben Riccardi (past)

Ben Riccardi is one of the most important new voices to come out of the Finger Lakes in the last few years — helping to define Chardonnay for the region and using sustainable/natural winemaking. Believing it's better to trust nature and the process, Ben takes a relaxed approach in the winery. It’s not laziness or a recklessly cavalier attitude towards the craft, but instead Ben’s conviction in the potential of the Finger Lakes terroir. He has worked around the globe in France, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, and California, collecting insights abroad, all to understand the unique greatness of these New York Finger Lakes.
