Johannes is one of the kindest and most informative winemakers. Tasting his wines and his wife Imelda’s dumplings are a magnificent experience!

Johannes’ wines can bat with the great cool climate wines of the world. Johannes’ viticulture and winemaking is easily among the most impressive in the finger lakes, and his wines are individually unique, incredibly dimensional, delicious, and ageable. The tasting experience is elevated, comfortable, personal, and is as technically deep as you want it to be. I cannot wait to visit again.

Johannes and Imelda are wonderful hosts. The tasting is extremely informative, and the wines outstanding! The intimate setting — limited to parties of 6 — allows for very personal interaction. Their personal investment into the winemaking process is evident from start to finish. Continuing to enjoy the fruits of their labor!?

We got very lucky with a last minute reservation but you should definitely make a reservation in advance. It was a very informative tasting. We learned a lot and could feel how passionate the owner is about the vineyard. I would recommend Kemmeter to anyone visiting Seneca lake.

A very small winery with some very good wines. The winemaker conducts the tastings, As a result, tasting hours are limited and reservations are absolutely necessary. However, the effort to make reservations is worth it. The winery offers a single Pinot Noir and four dry to slightly off-dry rieslings, and the winemaker takes the taster through each one, not only discussing the wines themselves, but also educating them about the winemaking process and how the nuances of each wine impact the tasting process. Probably the high point of five days spent in the Finger Lakes region.

The best of the best. There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe the elegance, beauty and balance of Johannes Reinhardt's Kemmeter wines. At Kemmeter, "quality over quantity" isn't a slogan, it is a BELIEF that guides every decision made by the passionate winemaker. No matter how much you think you know about wine, Johanne's the consummate artisan will teach you something new. Plan your Finger Lakes trip around this tasting. Reservations required and well worth it.

We recently enjoyed a lovely Reisling tasting wuth Johannes Reinhardt. The wines were excellent. His attention to detail and the explantion of his wine process is extraordinary. He pays attention to each client in the tasting room and makes everyone very comfortable. I ordered frozen dumplings to go. I have not been fortunate to cook them yet. I am sure they will be as exquisite as the wines. This was a wonderful tasting experience. The Reinhardts are a match made in heaven.
