My wife and I have visited Lamoreaux since it's earliest days. At times they have produced some delightful Finger Lakes wines including nice FLW Chardonnays, hard to find good vintages in the region, along with some fine reds highlighted by the FLW region flagship red, Cabernet Franc.
However, during our recent visit, the first in several years, we noticed a change shortly after walking in the door. An air of haughty arrogance.
We decided on 2 tasting at $12 each only after we were led to believe tasting would be free after we received our "welcome pour" of a nice dry rose and told "you can pick four more wines to taste without mention of the $12 per tasting fee. In there wine "menu" in very, very small letters at the top did it mention a few.
Some serious wineries in the Finger Lakes, Napa (region), Oregon, etc look to make a profit selling Tastings, and some use tastings to introduce you to their winery, wine making, and of course their wine. After asking our taste-pourer how am I to determine how good their wines were, especially six different Rieslings, she told me I Can buy the other five I did not taste. This was after coming from another Seneca Lake-FLW that has had their Rieslings rated by Wine Enthusiast Magazine in the top 100 in the world!
If you enjoy wine, the Finger Lakes has some delightful world class wineries anxious to introduce you to their fine highly rated wines, their story, winery and selection, but Lamoreaux is Not one of them, they will sell you a taste for $12 or more, and expect you to love, and buy their wines.
Don't waste your time, there are better wineries and wines just down the road.
