This "building within a building" has become an icon of one of the Finger Lakes' most successful wineries. Our abstraction of the Greek Revival style, which is prevalent in the region, has stood the test of time and continues to surprise and delight visitors who discover this "pearl" within the oyster-like barn. Phase II has completed the vision by adding an arcade linking the winery to the main storage building. The arcade continues the vocabulary of the white columns while referencing the metaphor of interlocking fingers.
