CALIFORNIA’S NAPA VALLEY IS DYING, AND THIS WINEMAKER IS GLAD. In a SHOCKING admission, elite vintner Nova Cadamatre reveals the secret “benefit” of climate change: the RUINATION of America’s iconic wine country is PROPPING UP New York’s “underdog” Finger Lakes. She splits her time between the two regions and she’s BETTING on the collapse of the West.
“We are becoming warmer,” Cadamatre said, describing a DESTABILIZED planet as a BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY for her venture, Trestle Thirty One. While California vineyards BURN and PARCH, New York’s erratic, rainy climate—once considered a handicap—is now being SPUN as an “emerging powerhouse,” thanks entirely to a WARMING WORLD. This isn’t innovation; it’s PROFITEERING from planetary disaster.
In a move that has INFURIATED traditionalists, Wine Enthusiast named the Finger Lakes “Region of the Year,” a decision championed by New York Governor Kathy Hochul. Critics call it a POLITICAL STUNT and a DESPERATE attempt to rebrand what was once a niche area into a “global destination” by CAPITALIZING on the misfortunes of others. This is more than just new terroir; it’s a HARBINGER of a terrifying new economic reality where climate winners CHERISH the losses of their rivals.
Cadamatre BRAGS that the region is now like “Napa in the 1970s,” but that ascent is built on a foundation of SCORCHED EARTH and failing ecosystems elsewhere. Her wines, now featured in the Fox News Wine Club, are being pushed as the taste of the future—a future where your favorite vineyard’s demise is CELEBRATED with a glass of New York Riesling. This is the brutal, uncorked truth of our new world: one region’s tragedy is another’s TOAST. The very concept of “vintage” may soon refer not to a year of quality, but to a year of SURVIVAL.
