Finger Lakes Winery Publishes Audiobook on Regional Wine History & Winery History

GENEVA, N.Y. - Jan. 6, 2014 - PRLog -- Dedicated to building an informed and educated customer base that has a passion for authentic wines that are true to their terroir, Villa Bellangelo Winery (http://www.Bellangelo.com) in the Finger Lakes region of New York has released their popular tasting room book A Senese of Place: A Discovery of Finger Lakes Wine History & Villa Bellangelo Winery, as an audiobook.

The audiobook of A Sense of Place is distributed through Audible and Open Book Audio, and is available at most major online retailers including Amazon.com (http://goo.gl/y3kqgm) and the iTunes marketplace.  It will also be available for purchase in CD format at the winery beginning February 2014.  The 2 1/2 hour long audio version of the book is the first known audiobook to focus exclusively on the unique terroir of the Finger Lakes, and Finger Lakes wine producers.  The audio edition makes the perfect driving companion for anyone enjoying a drive through the Finger Lakes or a wine tour of the region.

Although the first edition of the audiobook is launching, Christopher Missick assures us this is only the beginning.  "The idea with the book and the audiobook is that we are merely at the beginning of this project.  In one more month, the second edition of A Sense of Place will be released, with updated sections on Villa Bellangelo's premium grape growers (John Tuller and Sawmill Creek Vineyards), and a revised crash course on wine tasting.  The goal for this project is twofold: to continually raise the awareness and knowledge of the Finger Lakes wine industry in the mind of the consumer, and to bring consumers closer to the hearts and the hands of the winegrowers and winemakers that are doing such great work in our region."

Parties interested in obtaining a review copy of the printed edition or the audio version should contact Villa Bellangelo Winery directly.  Wine jouranlists/bloggers seeking to learn more about the region in preparation for an article on the Finger Lakes Wine region, or reviewing a Finger Lakes wine, should contact Villa Bellangelo Winery directly as well.


About the Winery:

Villa Bellangelo is situated in a magnificent location atop a hill overlooking central Seneca Lake, about 1 mile south of Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard. The tasting room has offered visitors breathtaking views for decades, but the historic property has been a part of the heart of Finger Lakes agriculture and grape growing for centuries.  In fact, as you drive the winding path from State Route 14 to the winery, you pass the oldest vineyard in Yates County, as the handiwork of grape vines planted by Dr. Byron Spence in 1866, are still vibrantly growing and producing one of nature's most precious berries.   Villa Bellangelo was founded in 2002 by Michael Litterio and subsequently purchased by the Missick family, who left their businesses and careers in California to pursue premium cool climate wine making in the Finger Lakes.  Varietally, the emphasis at Villa Bellangelo is on Riesling.
