Review of Villa Bellangelo Winery

A new stop for us during our 2017 Finger Lakes Vacation, Villa Bellangelo has a great facility and friendly staff. Decoration and view are comfortable and inviting. Their releases were lagging by about a year, so most of the wines tasted were still from 2014 during our September 2017 visit. It seems that many of the wines were correctly made but suffered from poor quality grape growing in the somewhat challenging 2014 vintage, many exhibiting underripe, funky "green" aromas. Perhaps our opinion would improve were the wines being poured from the warmer 2015 vintage, but we would not plan a return visit to Bellangelo.
