From day one, 20 Deep has been all about family, friends, and our incredible community here in Upstate New York. Now, as we replant our beloved Gamay vines at our small-batch winery, we can’t help but reflect on how it all began.
Those early days were fueled by heart, hustle, and the support of our amazing community. We’re proud to be part of the Finger Lakes wine region, and we wouldn’t be here without the people who’ve been with us since the beginning.
That’s not to say it’s always been easy. Back in 2023, a late frost during the PGA at Oak Hill in Rochester wiped out 80% of our crop. Ever since, we’ve held our breath each spring, hoping Memorial Day would bring relief.
Now that it’s here, it finally feels like we can breathe again. The vines are in, the sun is shining, and we’re stepping into our favorite time of year at the vineyard. Here’s to a new season and the roots we keep putting down—right here in the heart of Rochester’s wine country. 🍷🌱
