Prejean winery opened officially in 1986. Sadly, Jim died suddenly in 1989, but he was fortunate enough to see his dream realized. He was quite proud of their accomplishments, and even though he only lived for three years after the winery’s opening, he touched many people.

In the vineyard we treat red grapes pretty much the same as we do white grapes other than we’re more apt to limit yields and hand harvest rather than machine pick. In the cellar the grapes are treated much differently.

A balanced vineyard is a goal of winegrowing and generally it is more an ideal to strive for and approximate. The conditions that can lead to imbalance in a vineyard, an important one being the weather, are variable from year to year. Unlike some regions, the Finger Lakes has rainfall during the growing season and we have to contend with harsh winters. A grapevine wants to do one thing, make other grapevines and it does this by making seeds that are surrounded by soft edible fruit which is desirable to birds and other animals.
