It's finished in the Finger Lakes region of NY State. We anticipate making some snowballs fairly soon.
I had a friend who owned one of the many small wineries around here. He was very frugal. After the regular pickers had departed, and the leaves were off--revealing what was left, he'd glean the vines for leftover grapes, press everything, and wind up with a blend to ferment that he called November Harvest. I don't know if his successor still makes it, but it was a great dessert wine because the grapes had by that time developed every bit of sugar they possibly could.
