Wilhelmus Kuenen, a Dutch immigrant, brought his family to the “New World” when his son Boud was only 7 years old. Wilhelmus started making wine in 1958. He became a very serious wine maker after his retirement in the 1970’s, winning awards across the Northeast.

Boud and Karen Kuenen opened their winery in 2007 and befittingly named the winery in memory of Boud’s father. The tradition of producing award winning Finger Lake wines continues to delight and attract oenophiles both near and far. Come and taste our excellent vinifera and hybrid varietals. The Winery is named after the vintner’s father, Wilhelmus, who began developing his award winning wines in 1958. This process has continued to the present day, delivering premium Finger Lakes wines with traditional Old World distinction.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
