J.R. Dill got his start 17 years ago in his parents basement making wine. Since then J.R. Dill has been perfecting his craft and will see his 10th harvest of commercial wine production this year. The winery continues to grow its production while still being completely hands on. There is a strong passion for wine and Seneca Lake, as J.R. Dill lived here since the beginning. It is a family affair at J.R. Dill. Whether those involved are family or friends, they all help out where ever needed with the same passion as J.R. Dill.
