This Week in Wine Country: Virtual Edition

(WENY) -- While we may not be able to go exploring right now in Finger Lakes Wine Country, the businesses that make up the backbone of the region still need community support! The agency has launched My FLX Family, a website dedicated to supporting the region and bringing people together, even while we stay at home.
While tasting rooms may be closed, many wineries, breweries, distilleries and restaurants are still open for business - offering online sales with shipping, curbside pickup or carry out.
Finger Lakes Wine Country has compiled just a few area wineries offering specials during this time:
