Story πŸ“–: Usonia is the work of Alex and Julia Alverez Perez, two of the most exciting winemakers in the Finger Lakes. After cutting their teeth in the NYC natural wine scene and traveling through Australia and Austria, they settled in the region in 2019. Their wines are all single-vineyard, naturally fermented, and bottled with little to no intervention. From their organically farmed home vineyard in Ovid to their tight knit grower relationships, Usonia is helping to redefine what’s possible in New York with wines that are vibrant, expressive, and full of life.
