The Finger Lakes region is located in which state?

California
Washington
New York
Oregon

The correct answer is: New York

The Finger Lakes region is indeed situated in New York. This area is renowned for its unique geography, characterized by a series of long, narrow lakes formed by glacial activity. The region has gained recognition for its wine production, particularly for varieties such as Riesling and Cabernet Franc, benefiting from the moderating effects of the lakes which allow for a longer growing season and a diverse range of grape varieties. New York's Finger Lakes are also noted for their picturesque scenery and tourism appeal, making it a significant area for both viticulture and recreation.
