(AP) - This year's wine grape crop from upstate New York is high in quality with a bit less quantity.
Growers say the warm early spring followed by a cold spell and a dry summer took a toll on the overall yield, but that the grapes that made it through are in good shape.
"With warm, sunny days that we had, grapes are ripening beautifully, and growers and wineries are happy," Jim Trezise, president of the New York Wine and Grape Foundation, said. "It's not going to be a bumper crop this year, but it will certainly be respectable."
