Dr. Frank marks 40 years of sparkling wine

Dr. Frank marks 40 years of sparkling wine

Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery is celebrating four decades of pioneering sparkling wine in the Finger Lakes with a rare release, according to Finger Lakes Times.

The 2021 Brut Cuvée 85 blends fresh vintage notes with a dosage from the original 1985 bottling—the first Champagne-style wine made on the East Coast using classic vinifera grapes. Only 100 cases were produced to honor founder Willy Frank’s bold vision.

The winery now offers a wide sparkling portfolio and continues to use traditional methods, with every bottle handcrafted in its historic cellar.
