Welcome back, listeners, to another episode of Beats Vines & Life! Today we have an extraordinary guest joining us—Hans Peter Weis, the owner and winemaker of Weis Vineyards in the beautiful Finger Lakes region.

Peter's journey from growing up in a sixth-generation winemaking family in Mosel, Germany, to establishing a thriving vineyard here in New York is nothing short of inspiring.

In this episode, we dive deep into Peter's fascinating story, from overcoming financial challenges and the importance of relationships with local grape growers, to achieving success alongside his wife Ashley.

With over 30 different SKUs, including award-winning Rieslings, sparkling wines, and unique dessert wines, Peter's commitment to quality and innovation has truly set Weis Vineyards apart.

We'll explore the incredible hard work and dedication it takes to build a successful wine business, the importance of labeling for sweetness levels, and exciting future projects like a new distillery.

Plus, hear about Peter's special wine made for his first-born son and the story behind their famed 183 wine. And of course, we couldn't resist discussing the unique and picturesque Finger Lakes region.

Join us for an engaging conversation filled with insights, laughter, and of course, some delicious wine talk. So grab a glass, sit back, and let's get into it.
